 My observation,

 In the movie i see the journey of Robinson Crusoe on the island, his adventure,his fight with loneliness, his struggle on the island, master slave relationship.

In the story, before landing on the island Crusoe’s father wants to him to be a good, middle class guy, Robinson Crusoe, who wants to nothing more than to travel around in a ship, was definitely not into this idea, he struggles against the authority of both his God and father and decides to thumb his nose at both by going adventuring on sea instead.

After sailing around for a while, Crusoe makes a bit of money in trade, but then was captured and made into a slave off the coast of Africa. He befriends a young man named Xury with whom he escapes frif capacity.

 On the voyage, he getss hip wrecked and is left as the only survivor on a deserted island. The movie is dedicated to Crusoe’s time alone on the island. He builds three man structures his initial shelter his country home on the opposite side of the island, and his Guns and fort in wood.
He spends his time in planting corn, burley, and rice. He learns to make breads. He builds furniture, weaver, and baskets and make plot.Crusoe also raises goats and tends to his little animal family and cats, dogs and a parrot. Through Crusoe becomes strong in his religious faith, eventually submitting to authority of God. He devotes himself to uch religious reflection and prayer.
In the movie, Crusoe sees a footprints on the shore on the day and learns that his actually not alone on the island. There is also cannibals his struggles with the question of whether or not be should take revenge on them any way he met with, Friday a native man whom he was able to rescue from the cannibals. Crusoe teaches Friday English and convert him to  Christianity.
 In the story he lived a long time alone on island and then he met with Friday then become happy. Because of, then he was not alone on island. Crusoe treat as a servent to Friday. And than he and Friday live with each other, and finally they have ship and way off the island . Crusoe relates his jouney home and how the resolve the outstand issues he left behind in his life.

So we can see that Crusoe is a very strong man, his struggle, his way of art, his creativity thinking all are inspirational for us.

 Thank you.

It is split like a second. It hinges around itself. It has no future. It is pinned down to no past. It’s a pun on the present. It’s a little yellow butterfly.

Whatever he sees in Jejury they have a story of their own. The poet says there is no story behind the butterfly, the very being...
