As we continue reading i feel like the sense of adventure has dwindled down. It has become very predictable and isn't as interesting as it was when he was first landed on the island or the story that landed him there. I can see the foundations for the more modern novels in Robinson Crusoe but i feel like because i am used to the modern writing a can't fully enjoy the simpleness of this story. There aren't too many complex ideas, nor is there a lot going on to keep the mind working. In today's discussion we talked about the point of view and how Crusoe is telling the story or has told someone the story. Hopefully this means that then ending of this book will be exciting to read. How he gets off the island, if he gets off, or if someone comes to the island, these ideas give me hope that this book wont have a bad ending. Maybe there will even be a surprise twist.

Robinson Crusoe

The first part of this book started slow but it also had a lot of adventure in it. The wording was difficult to read because it is so different from our language now but i could still go through it at a decent pace. Robinson has had a pretty exciting life so far, well at least after he decided not to listen to his parents and stay in his safe life. I'm looking forward to the rest of the book to see what other adventures he will have on the island and if he will get off and how.
