Robinson Crusoe: On the Island

This book is absolutely brilliant. There are times in my life where I think it would be fantastic to live off the grid, to live on an island, ditch all technology, and be completely self-sufficient. In this case, Crusoe did not want to be there at first, but as time passes, he seems to be enjoying it more and more. He seems content with how he is living, he is self-sufficient, and he is living. His faith in God has gotten much stronger than it ever was, and it continues to grow. I think though, that he prays to keep himself safe, on the island, and not to be rescued. He has finally come to a point where he can keep stability in his life. He has pets, a talking parrot, a full-fledged house not just a shelter, pottery, and everything else that he would have on the mainland, with the exception of other humans. I think he misses that, and after just a few months, I know I would, I don't know if I could make it as long as he has. Having been there for years though, he may be passed that, and actually happy. I think it will be very interesting what he reaction will be when the opportunity for a serious rescue arises.
