1、英文读后感之鲁宾孙漂流记读后感 It seemed to be such a coincidence that the night after I finished reading The Life And Adventures Of Robinson Crusoe, I was to dine in a restaurant distinctly related to the book itself. This restaurant was no other than the famous Americanstyled “Fridays.” The reason for mentioning
2、 this restaurant is quite straightforward to all the gentlemen, ladies and children who have read the novel and enjoyed it, which is the fact that this restaurant was, most likely, named after the American Native in Robinson Crusoe, called Friday. This restaurant offers very exceptional service, for
3、 instance when the waitresses are asked to order dishes they kneel rather than stand, which, unlike the other restaurants I have been to, makes it easier for the customers to hear them speak. Moreover, Fridays friendly services to the customers help them to make better choices when ordering dishes.
4、I remembered when I went to Fridays last time; the waitress kindly described the items on the menu with precise details. It turned out that the combo I initially wanted was designed to be shared among a large group, not to be eaten by one person. I think this restaurant shows many commendable featur
5、es similar to that of Friday. Friday brought emotional warmth to the people around him with his appealing personality. I think it was this personality that affected Crusoe and made him say that he loved Friday when Crusoe didnt express love for his parents, brothers, sisters, or even his wife. “When
6、 he espied me, he came running to me, laying himself down again upon the ground, with all the possible signs of an humble, thankful disposition, making many antic gestures to show itto let me know how he would serve me as long as he lived.” This was what Friday did after Crusoe had rescued him from
7、the two savages chasing him. It was easy for me to see why Crusoe had loved Friday. After sometime, Crusoe and Friday were to rescue Fridays father. When Friday reunited with his father, the scene was easy to move anyone: “It would have moved anyone to tears to have seen how Friday kissed him, embra
8、ced him, hugged him, cried, laughed, halloed, jumped about, danced, sung; and then sung and jumped about again, like a distracted creature. It was a good while before I could make him speak to me.” This is my favourite chapter in the whole book. It is hard to see why Friday is an exsavage when he ca
9、n have personalities more praiseworthy than many civilized people, viz. Crusoe himself. “When he (Friday) went to him (Fridays father), he would sit down by him, open his breast, and hold his fathers head close to his bosom, half an hour together, to nourish it; then he took his arms and ankles, whi
10、ch were numbed and stiff with the binding, and rubbed them with his hands.” Furthermore, Fridays expression of loyalty in asking Crusoe to kill him rather than leave him is more heartfelt than anything Crusoe ever says or does. Crusoe, on the absolute contrary, seems incapable of deep feelings, as s
11、hown by his account of leaving his familyhe never shows any emotions. After a moving lecture from Robinsons father about his future, he still decided to follow his own wandering ambition. Careless was he about the wishes of his parents to keep him alive and prosperous, as he was the only child left
12、in the family. When he came back from the island which he had lived on for twenty eight years, he found that it had been too late to tell his parents that he was still alive, but yet again he did not feel sorry for them; he also did not feel sorry for the two people who had to live in misery for nea
13、rly thirty years under the allusion all of their sons were dead. He had the same feelings for his wife: when he was married, he said it was “not either to my disadvantage or dissatisfaction”, implying that it was also neither to his advantage nor his satisfaction. Moreover, after his wife died, Robi
14、nson did not think of looking after the three children they had, but went back to the island, which he had lived on for twentyeight years. It was on this trip which Robinson Crusoe revisited “His Island” as he called it. I feel that Robinsons indifference to his family is almost emotionally cruel.Be
15、foe had clearly shown the contrast between Crusoes and Fridays personalities, as when Friday, in his joyful reunion with his father, displayed far more emotion toward his family members than Crusoe, whereas Crusoe never mentions missing his family or dreams about the happiness of seeing them again.
16、I think Defore is very successful in introducing Friday as part of the novel, it makes the whole novel seem much more complete and gripping to the reader, as well as proving that Defoes ideology of racism is civilized unlike many other Europeans at that time; natives and savages are not worse than others but can perhaps even be more modern and civilized. Those are the reasons of why I like The Life And Adventures Of Robinson Crusoe and Friday.
