"Thoughts on Reading 'Cruso'" After reading the book, I was deeply moved by the strong and unyielding spirit of Crusoe. Crusoe encountered a storm during a voyage and drifted to a deserted island. He faced countless difficulties. Without a place to live, he built a simple house by himself. Without food, he searched for seeds on the island and cultivated by himself. When he encountered wild beasts, he fought bravely. He used his wisdom and hands to create a miracle of survival on the isolated island. Compared to Crusoe, we live in a comfortable and convenient environment, but we often give up easily because of a small setback. For example, when they encountered a difficult math problem, they were often unwilling to think too much and would seek help from others. " Crusoe's experience made me understand that no matter how difficult it is, as long as I have a firm belief and a tenacious will, I can overcome it. On this deserted island, Crusoe lived alone for many years. He was not defeated by loneliness. Instead, he used the resources on the island to make his life more interesting. His story inspired me to learn to be independent, strong, and brave in the face of all challenges in my future studies and life. The Extraordinary Ordinary Life novel is equally exciting.
