NATIVE SON怎么样
在我目前以看过的文学的书籍中，这本1940年出版的算的上是最近也是最晚看的一本书，书作者查理德.赖特改变了很多人长久以来心目中‘’笔下的黑人形像。
在这本书里，黑人主角不在是一个被白人宗教麻醉思想，手拿对白人奴隶主的剥削逆来顺受的好好先生，也不是借着自己肤色与白人微弱差异，而逃亡北方的反抗者。
而是化为一个生活在后，20世纪30年代美国白人统治下，以种族隔离为环景背的中部城市‘芝加哥’的青年‘别格.道’。
在赖特的笔下，从主人公黑人青年‘别格.道’的身上，第一次看见了一个正常的有着善与恶和喜怒哀乐的新黑人形像，同时也对当时的美国社会环景与黑人的生存地位和遭遇有了新的描写，不在是停留在南方的种植园里。
这在当时的美国文学界，特别是文学里，可以说是一个里程碑式的壮举
从书中的前言中得知，在日后的时代里，很多著名作家如：.和拉尔夫.艾利森 亚格利斯.哈里等都深受其的作者和其作品的影响。
该书还被改变成话剧，并在百老汇上演。
书中的开头‘别格’的一家生活极度的困难，四口人挤在一间破败的陋室中，主人公的父亲在‘别格’小时死于南方的白人暴民手中，从而始‘别格’从内心深处对白人世界冲满了极度的恐惧与愤慨和仇恨，但当他看到城市上空白人驾驶的飞机在蓝天中自由翱翔时，又不住的向往，造成这一切的根源却是自己的肤色与种族。
他不喜欢白人的世界，却又不得不按白人的方式与规则生活，在为了一家人的生计别格违心接受了为白人地产投资商‘’先生的工作，当了一名司机和锅炉工。
本来他将开始一个新的生活，但在这天晚上他把醉酒而昏迷的的女儿‘玛莉’抱上其的卧室时，却被‘玛莉’双目失明的母亲碰见
‘别格’出于内心对白人世界的极度恐惧，出于不想被发现自己在小姐的卧室里，失手用枕头捂死了因醉酒而熟睡的‘玛莉’从而酿成了大祸
在这里可以看出那个时代以美国白人为主导的社会总体上对黑人种族的压迫。
一个只是双目失明的白人老妇人，却能让一个黑人青年挺而走险失手杀人。
而从社会和刑法的另一个角度讲，别格为此也变成了一名杀人犯
他为了逃避白人世界的追捕与惩罚，又制造的焚烧‘玛莉’的尸体和写绑架信嫁祸给‘玛莉’的朋友，白人共产党‘简’最后终因人们在清理炉灰时发现了‘玛莉’的遗骸而败露
‘别格’又开始了在‘芝加哥’这座城市与前来抓捕他的白人警察们的战斗。
其间他又因惧怕自己被牵连而杀死了自己的女友‘蓓西’最终被白人警察抓获。
从而结束了自己年青的生命。
《土生子》很代表性的之处还有，不仅仅是赖特笔下塑造的全新的，服合时代的主人公‘别格.道格斯’，要是那样的话该书决不会成名。
正如‘斯托夫人’笔下《汤姆叔叔的小屋》里那段买下汤姆大叔的高贵的白人庄园主，和自己的姐姐在庄园里那段经典的关于美国南北双方对黑人的争论。
在《土生子》中作者也用了很常的篇幅来描写为‘别格’辩护的白人犹太师‘麦克斯’，与白人公诉人‘勃克利’对主人公‘别格’的罪刑是社会还是个人性质的对白。
如： ‘别格’在来‘道尔顿’家工作之前，曾有过计化抢劫白人商店的想法。
还有，当他怀抱着醉酒的‘玛莉’回到她的卧室时，在酒精和人本能的意识的驱驶下，作为一个健康强壮的男人‘别格’也对‘玛莉’也产生了单纯的欲念，这时‘玛莉’双目失明的母亲突然出现在们口
让人读阅思絮后久久的回味唏嘘不以，别格做为一个祖上世代受白人欺压剥削的黑人，他不想为白人服务可他又无法摆脱其的制约。
当其犯下杀人的大祸时，觉得这不过是早晚会发生的事，就算是不这样也会那样或者那样被白人所杀，而不是一开始人所应有的负罪感，而是对白人社会对自己报复的恐惧，因为没有谁会去理解观心他和他所属的种族。
如：事发后黑人街区被白人暴民趁机围攻扫荡欧打无辜的黑人。
本书还有另一点可取之处，那就是给他提供工作的道尔顿先生，赖特对他的描写很有代表性，他一方面给黑人学校捐款助教，同时还指导别格上学，但却不顾佣黑人职员或学生，一方面他顾别格为自己打工并给其丰厚的报酬，另一方面却把品质极次的劣质房以高价租给黑人谋取暴利。
想想在30多年后‘亚格利斯.哈利’的那本《根》，书里的那个救了昆塔但又卖掉其女儿的白人庄园主华勒是合其的相似
可当他在收到别格伪造的绑架信时，他以一个父亲的名意起乞求所为的绑匪，释放以死去并被焚尸的女儿后，不久那个焚烧‘玛莉’的锅炉里就发现了她的残骸，别格被抓又给人一种法网恢恢疏而不漏的感觉。
其中书终在法庭中审判别格时，原被告双方的陈述很精彩
堪称本书的点睛之处
很值得一读
作为一本在美国20世纪20-30年代，黑人文学‘哈莱姆文艺复兴’时期的“城市抗议题材”小说，理查德·赖特以其严谨的构思，精湛的文笔，真实的取材于现实生活，公正客观的塑造了一个生长生活在那个时代，群体和个人受白人种族压迫剥削的美国的黑人‘别格.道格斯’，而不在是像斯托夫人笔下极度温顺和善的白人牧师式的黑人形像，正如本书的名子《土生子》，南北战争结束106年后，续斯托夫人的《汤姆叔叔的小屋》近一百三十多年后，这个迟来的不为人知黑孩子才出生。
作为一名中国读者，几年来我读阅了一些有关美国黑人题材的小说和书籍，发现由于时代和历史政治的原因，我们很多的人对黑人文学的认识都很像那时的美国，只知道一个《汤姆叔叔的小屋》，连诞生于60-70年代的黑人民权时期，并曾在我国电视上拨发放过的黑人精典文学《根》都很少有人知晓，这不能不说是个遗憾，以理查德·赖特以他在美国文学界的地位和历史影响，我希望能多出些他的作品，如‘理查德·赖特’的早期作品〈汤姆大叔的孩子〉和其的自传〈黑孩子〉希望可以早些和中国的读者们见面。
谁知道《土生子》（《nativeson》）的英文大概意思啊
Book One: FearBigger Thomas wakes up in a dark, small room at the sound of the alarm clock. He lives in one room with brother, , sister, , and their mother. Suddenly, a rat appears. The room turns into a maelstrom and, after a violent chase, Bigger kills the animal with an iron and terrorizes with the dark body. After Bigger rubs one out, faints and the mother scolds Bigger, who hates family becae they suffer and he cant do anything about it.That evening, Bigger has to see Mr. Dalton for a new job. Bigger's family deps on . He would like to leave his responsibilities forever but when he thinks of what to do, he only sees a blank wall. He walks to the poolroom and meets his fri G. Bigger tells that every time he thinks about whites, he something terrible will happen to . They meet other fris, G. H. and , and plan a robbery. They are afraid of attacking a white man but ne of them wants to say so. Before the robbery, Bigger and go to the movies. They are attracted to the world of wealthy whites in the newsreel and feel strangely moved by the tom-toms and the primitive black people in the film. But they feel they do t belong to either of those worlds. After the cinema, Bigger attacks G violently. The fight ends any chance of the robbery occurring. Bigger is obscurely conscious that he has done this on purpose.When he finally goes to see Mr. Dalton at his home, Bigger is very afraid, and therefore, also very angry. He does not how to behave in the big house. Mr. Dalton and his blind wife use strange words. They try to be kind to Bigger but they make him very uncomfortable because Bigger does not know what they expect of him. Then their daughter, Mary, enters the room, asks Bigger why he does not belong to a union and calls her father a capitalist. Bigger does not know that word and is even more confused and afraid to lose the job. After the conversation, Peggy, the irish cook, takes Bigger to his room and tells him that the Daltons are a nice family but that he must avoid Mary's communist friends. Bigger has never had a room for himself before.That night, he drives Mary around and meets her boyfriend, Jan. Jan and Mary infuriate Bigger because they talk to him, oblige him to take them to the diner where his friends are, invite him to sit at their table, and tell him to call them by their first names. At the diner they buy a bottle of rum. Bigger drives throughout the park, and Jan and Mary drink the rum, and fool around in the back seat. Then Jan and Mary part, but Mary is so drunk that Bigger has to carry her to her bedroom when they arrive home. He is terrified someone will see him with her in his arms, but he cannot resist the temptation of the forbidden and he kisses her.Just then, the bedroom door opens. It is Mrs. Dalton. Bigger knows she is blind but is terrified she will sense him there. He tries to make Mary still by putting the pillow over her head. Mrs. Dalton approaches the bed, smells whiskey in the air, scolds her daughter, and leaves. Just then, Bigger notices that Mary is not breathing anymore. She has suffocated. Bigger starts thinking frantically. He decides he will tell everyone that Jan, the communist, took Mary into the house. Then he thinks it will be better if Mary disappears and everyone thinks she has gone for a visit. In desperation, he decides to burn her body in the house's furnace. He has to cut her head off in order to fit her into the furnace, but finally manages to put the body inside. He adds extra coal to the furnace, leaves it there to burn, and goes home.Book Two: FlightWhen Bigger talks with his family and meets his friends, he feels different now. The crime gives meaning to his life. When he goes back to the big house, Mr. Dalton notices her daughter's disappearance and asks Bigger about the night before. Bigger tries to blame Jan. Mr. Dalton sends Bigger home for the day, and Bigger decides to visit his girlfriend, Bessie. Bessie mentions a famous case in which the kidnappers of a child first killed him and then asked for ransom money. Bigger decides to do the same. He tells Bessie that he knows Mary has disappeared and will use that knowledge to get money from the Daltons, but in the conversation he realizes Bessie suspects him of having done something to Mary. Bigger goes back to work. Mr. Dalton has called a private detective, Mr. Britten, and this time, sensing Britten's racism, Bigger accuses Jan on the grounds of his race (he is Jewish), his political beliefs (communist), and his friendly attitude towards black people. When Britten finds Jan, he puts the boy and Bigger in the same room and confronts them with their conflicting stories. Jan is surprised by Bigger's story but offers him help.Bigger storms away from the Dalton's. He decides to write the false kidnap note when he discovers that the owner of the rat-infested flat his family rents is Mr. Dalton. Bigger slips the note under the Dalton's front door, then returns to his room. When the Daltons receive the note, they contact the police, who take over the investigation from Britten, and journalists soon arrive at the house. Bigger is afraid, but he does not want to leave. In the afternoon, he is ordered to take the ashes out of the stove and make a new fire. He is so terrified that he starts poking the ashes with the shovel until the whole room is full of smoke. Furious, one of the journalists takes the shovel and pushes Bigger aside. He immediately finds the remains of Mary's bones and an earring in the stove. Bigger flees.Bigger goes directly to Bessie and tells her the whole story. Bessie realizes that white people will think he raped the girl before killing her. They leave together, but Bigger has to drag Bessie around because she is paralyzed by fear. When they lie down together in an abandoned building, Bigger rapes her, and he realizes he will have to kill her. He hits Bessie with a brick several times, and then throws her through a window, into and air shaft, but he forgets that the only money he had was in her pocket, a symbol of her value to him.Bigger runs through the city. He sees newspaper headlines concerning the crime and overhears different conversations about it. Whites call him ape. Blacks hate him because he has given the whites an excuse for racism. But now he is someone; he feels he has an identity. He will not say the crime was an accident. After a wild chase over the rooftops of the city, the police catch him.Book Three: FateDuring his first few days in prison, Bigger does not eat, drink, or talk to anyone. Then Jan comes to see him. He says Bigger has taught him a lot about black-white relationships and offers him the help of a communist lawyer, Max. In the long hours Max and Bigger pass together, Max learns about the sufferings and feelings of black people and Bigger learns about himself. He starts understanding his relationships with his family and with the world. He acknowledges his fury, his need for a future, and his wish for a meaningful life. He reconsiders his attitudes about white people, whether they are prejudiced, like Britten, or liberal, like Jan.At Bigger's trial, Max tells the judge that Bigger killed because he was cornered by society from the moment he was born. He tells them that a way to cut the evil sequence of abuse and murder is to sentence Bigger to life in prison and not to death. But the judge apparently does not sympathize and sentences Bigger to the electric chair. In the last scene, while he waits for death, Bigger tells Max, I didn't know I was really alive in this world until I felt things hard enough to kill for 'em. Bigger then tells him to say hello to Jan. For the first time, he calls him Jan, not Mister, just as Jan had wanted. This signifies that he finally sees whites as individuals, rather than a looming force. Max then leaves, and Bigger is alone.CharactersMary Dalton: An only child, Mary is a very rich white girl who has far leftist leanings. She is a communist sympathizer recently filmed frolicking with Jan, a known communist party organizer. Consequently, she is trying to abide, for a time, by her parents' wishes and go to Detroit. She is to leave the morning after Bigger is hired as the family chauffeur. Under the ruse of a University meeting, she has Bigger take her to meet Jan. When they return to the house, she is too drunk to make it to her room unassisted and Bigger thus helps her. Mrs. Dalton comes upon them in the room and Bigger smothers her for fear that Mrs. Dalton will discover him. Mary, as a symbol of white America, is destroyed by Bigger, who symbolizes what America hates and fears.Henry Dalton: Father of Mary, he owns a controlling amount of stock in a real estate firm which maintains the black ghetto. Blacks in the ghetto pay too much for rat-infested flats. As Max points out at the inquest, Mr. Dalton refuses to rent flats to black people outside of the designated ghetto area. He does this while donating money to the NAACP, buying ping-pong tables for the local black youth outreach program, and giving people like Bigger a chance at employment. Mr. Dalton's philanthropy, however, only shows off his wealth while backing up the business practices which contain an already oppressed people. That is, rather than alter the real estate business which he controls, he gives the unemployed youths ping-pong tables to play with. Mr. Dalton is blind to the real plight of blacks in the ghetto, a plight that he maintains.Mrs. Dalton: Mary Dalton's mother. Her blindness serves to accentuate the motif of racial blindness throughout the story. Both Bigger and Max comment on how people are blind to the reality of race in America. Mrs. Dalton betrays her metaphorical blindness when she meets Mrs. Thomas. Mrs. Dalton hides behind her philanthropy and claims there is nothing she can do for Bigger. She cannot prevent his death nor can she admit to her family's direct involvement in the creation of the ghetto that created him.Jan Erlone: Jan is a member of the Communist Party as well as the boyfriend of the very rich Mary Dalton. Bigger attempts to frame him for the murder of Mary. Jan, because he has been well versed in material dialecticism (Marxism), takes the event of the murder as an opportunity to face racism. Jan had already been seeking for a way to understand the 'negro' so as to organize them along communist lines against the monied people like Mr. Dalton. He is not able to fully do so, but he is able to put aside his personal trauma and persuade Max to help Bigger. He represents the idealistic young Marxist who hopes to save the world through revolution. However, before he can do that, he must understand the 'negro' much more than he thinks he does.Gus: Gus is another member of Bigger's gang, but he has an uneasy relationship with Bigger. Both are aware of the other's nervous anxiety concerning whites. Consequently, Bigger would rather fight Gus than shoot a white man.Jack Harding: Jack is a member of Bigger's group of pals and the one Bigger comes closest to viewing as a true friend.Mr. Boris Max: A lawyer from the Communist Party who represents Bigger against the State's prosecuting attorney. As a Jewish American, he is in a better position to understand Bigger. It is through his speech during the trial that Wright reveals the greater moral and political implications of Bigger Thomas's life. Even though Mr. Max is the only one who understands Bigger, Bigger still horrifies him by displaying just how damaged white society has made him. When Mr. Max finally leaves Bigger he is aghast at the extent of the brutality of racism in America.Bessie Mears: Bigger's girlfriend who is murdered by him because he fears she might speak against him. She is representative of all the women in the ghetto, like Bigger's mother and sister. All these women have the same tired look about their eyes and the same dreary occupations of washing clothes or working in kitchens. Bessie is so tired and depressed by the drudgery of her life that she only wants to drink when not working. Bigger provides drink and she has sex with him, yet there seems to be no love between them. Still, as oppressed as she is, she cannot acquiesce to the murder of Mary. Fearing her inability to sanction the crime, Bigger brings her out with him to hide. He rapes her, bashes her head, and tosses her body into an airshaft.Peggy: Peggy is the Irish-American housekeeper for the Daltons and, like Max, can empathize with Bigger's status as an outsider. However, she is more typical of poor whites who are sure to invest in racism if only to keep someone below themselves. Like everyone in the Dalton family, Peggy hides her dislike for blacks and treats Bigger nicely.Bigger Thomas: The protagonist of the novel, Bigger commits two ghastly murders and is put on trial for his life. He is convicted and sentenced to the electric chair. His acts give the novel action but the real plot involves Bigger's reactions to his environment and his crime. Through it all, Bigger struggles to discuss his feelings, but he can neither find the words to fully express himself nor does he have the time to say them. However, as they have been related through the narration, Bigger—typical of the outsider archetype—has finally discovered the only important and real thing: his life. Though too late, his realization that he is alive—and able to choose to befriend Mr. Max—creates some hope that men like him might be reached earlier.Debatable as the final scene is, in which for the first time Bigger calls a white man by his first name, Bigger is never anything but a failed human. He represents the black man conscious of a system of racial oppression that leaves him no opportunity to exist but through crime. As he says to Gus, They don't let us do nothing... [and] I can't get used to it. He even admits to wanting to be an aviator and later, to Max, he admits to wanting to be a great number of things. He can do nothing but be one of many blacks in the ghetto and maybe get a job serving whites; crime seems preferable. Not surprisingly, then, he already has a criminal history, and he has even been to reform school. Ultimately, the greatest thing he can do is transgress the boundary the white world has set for him. He can violate what those who oppress him hold sacred and thereby meet the challenge they set in establishing their boundaries.Buddy Thomas: Buddy, Bigger's younger brother, idolizes Bigger as a male role model. He defends him to the rest of the family and consistently asks if he can help Bigger.Mrs. Thomas: Bigger's mother. She struggles to keep her family alive on the meager wages earned by taking in other people's laundry. She is a religious woman who believes she will be rewarded in an afterlife, but as a black woman accepts that nothing can be done to improve her people's situation. Additionally, she knows that Bigger will end up hanging from the gallows for his crime, but this is just another fact of life.Vera Thomas: She is Bigger's sister and in her Bigger sees his mother. Bigger knows that she will inevitably have the same tired look in her eyes and bear the continual strain of a family. The other option for Vera is to become like Bessie—a drunkard.

Theme AnalysisAmerica Is Blind to Racism and PovertyWright uses elements of Sophocles' drama Oedipus to illustrate America's blindness to racism and poverty. When the tragic hero Oedipus fails to heed warnings, he blinds himself in a fit of fury when what was foretold by the Oracle dramatically unfolds. And blindness, physical and spiritual, is also at issue in Native Son.Bigger accuses almost every other character of being blind to what is going on around them: they were simply blind people, blind like his mother, his brother, his sister, the Daltons. (329) Both Mr. Dalton and the sightless Mrs. Dalton are blinded by their wealth and appease their consequent guilt by making cursory charity contributions. Bigger's mother is blinded by her zealous religious beliefs, Jan by his ignorance and the housekeeper Peggy, and the private investigator Britten, by their backgrounds which socialize them to believe they are superior to African-Americans whom they view as less than human. However, throughout most of the novel, Bigger remains unaware of his own blindness and this prevents him taking advantage of the few available opportunities that could enhance his life. He fails to realize until it is much too late that he has also been psychologically damaged and blinded by the ever-present racist propaganda and oppression in American culture. For instance, only whites are allowed to be aviators, the occupation Bigger, if given the chance, would love to pursue. American movies depict whites as wealthy and sophisticated while blacks are presented as savages.In Book III, Bigger must, all too late, finally confront his own blindness. Wright imbues his characters with blindness to bring attention to the state of America's lack of vision regarding racism and its consequential poverty in early twentieth century America. African-Americans are confined to areas like the primary setting of the novel, South Chicago's Black Belt. Since there are simply no other areas available to rent, landlords, or slumlords, make no effort to improve the appalling conditions while they overcharge their tenants. For instance, in the opening chapter, Bigger is forced to share one room with three members of his family. They wake to the sound of rat inside the wall. And, since people do not have a variety of places to shop, goods and food are similarly overpriced. Bigger, who is starving by the time he is caught, must pay more money for a loaf of bread than he would in Chicago's wealthier areas. At the trial, Max brings these facts to bear in Bigger's trial as his reasoning behind why Bigger killed Mary Dalton. However, hardly surprisingly, the jury fails to understand their own sightlessness and condemns Bigger to death.Isolation and AlienationBigger shares a bedroom with four people yet he feels isolated. He never shares his heart with any of his family. They lean on him, yet offer him no support. He has a gang of friends but they never talk about anything substantial. He thinks nothing of spilling the blood of his friend Gus who has just shared his own money by paying for the pool game. After Mary's murder, there is no one Bigger can confide in, and he erects a wall of isolation around himself and comes to believe that everyone, except himself, is blind. Spurning his girlfriend Bessie when she sees him with the white Mary and Jan, he uses her for sex yet fails to share intimate moments. She loves him but he wants to be rid of her. Alone, he runs from the police, avoiding even his own community. The isolation in his prison cell needs no illustration.In short, Bigger represents the stereotypical young alienated African-American male in 1930s America, who as a result of white oppression, Wright maintains, feels helpless, vengeful and impotent. In the introductory essay, How Bigger Was Born, the author writes that Bigger represents a composite figure of young African-American males who, with very few opportunities in life, become increasingly antisocial and violent, and ready to explode.Wright ultimately blames the structure of American society for this sense of alienation and warns that there are millions of Biggers throughout the country. Changes that benefit African-American culture in the form of education and employment opportunities must be come about, or the consequences will be dire.EscapeMany of the characters want to escape from the oppressive world in which they live. Bigger wants to flee by learning to fly an airplane. His family wants to escape Chicago's Black Belt and move to a better home; Mary Dalton wants to escape the world of wealth created by her parents, Bessie constantly talks about running away with Bigger and Jan adopts communism as a means of escaping what he sees as wrongs in American culture.However, escaping is easier said than done, and sometimes substitutes compensate. Early on we hear Ma calling on God and singing hymns. She sends Reverend Hammond to save Bigger's life. She copes with her life of desperation through her zealous adherence to the word of God. Her true life, she maintains, will begin in the life hereafter. And Bigger, who will never fly an airplane since it is an occupation reserved for whites, puts his desperate life on hold in the movies where he can escape South Chicago's Black Belt. Early on, he finds a few hours surcease from the anxiety associated with robbing Blum's in the darkness of the movie theatre. Similarly, the Daltons escape facing the consequences of their guilt in allowing African-Americans to live in squalor by contributing such gifts as ping-pong tables to charitable organizations.

I. Robinson Crusoe’s courage and passionAlways, Robinson Crusoe was not satisfied with his status quo, like most of us. However, few of us have the courage to make any change. That’s why most of us can hardly make any progress. But once Robinson Cruose had a dream, nothing can impede him. Early at his teenager hood, he got the strong will to go to sea. Though, he might be well introduced, and had a prospect of raising his fortune by application and industry, with a life of ease and pleasure, if he chose to stay at his father’s house and his native country. Losing 2 of his 3 sons, Robinson’s father would certainly not allow his only beloved son going to sea and sufferings miseries. Being an obedient child, and due to the love of his father, Robinson was hesitant at once. But he finally chose the life he wanted and broke away from the life of ease and pleasures the 1st time.By the 2nd time he went to sea again, he was a rich and thriving man with a plantation in Brazil, leading a life of ease and pleasure. But he sailed again. He just couldn’t stop himself from going to sea, because that was his interest and the life he wanted. Any one who wants to succeed must have such passion on their jobs or careers as Robinson’s passion for going to sea. If they are not interested in their current jobs at all, they must take courage to stop wasting their time on such things, and focus on the right things. This is the foundation of achieving success.II. Robinson’s great creativity and working capacityRobinson is a man with great creativity and working capacity. He had spent more than 20 years on the isolated island. In order to survive, he ceaselessly thought about how to get enough food. During those years, Robinson learned to raise goats and plant plants. He also learned to make furniture by himself. When he left the island 28 years later, the island was much like a manor or an island country. Creativity and working capacity are especially important today. They are two criterions by which the employees’ performance is judged in most companies. People who don’t have little creativity and working capacity can hardly achieve great accomplishment.B. ShortcomingsNo body is perfect. Robinson also has shortcomings. Sometimes he was irresolute; He was not confident enough; He was fetishistic, although his belief had done him much good.Robinson was not born to be a successful man and a hero. He learned and gained as he grew. He was a coward when he encountered storm the 1st time. But he was brave enough when he struggled to landed on the isolate island. He was making progress.Robinson’s shortcomings were not too serious to impede him from achieving success. Every one has shortcomings. But once we know it’s a shortcoming we should try to overcome it. Only by this way we can improve ourselves.Robinson was the representative of the bourgeois of the 18th century. It was the time when bourgeois grew stronger and stronger. Defoe paid a tribute to bourgeois by creating such a rational, sturdy, clever, kind, and successful man.Robinson Crusoe is a lighthouse for the ambitious people. It’s also instructive for average people. After reading this book, we should know how to face up to life.
