Answer from Lyudmila Kashapova[newbie]
The hero of D. Defoe's novel Robinson Crusoe, left completely alone on an unknown island, did not become confused or fall into despair, and this saved his life. He managed to make good use of even the very first days after the disaster and managed to save all the essentials from the sinking ship: weapons, tools, fabric, clothes, ropes, some grain and food. Hard work, resourcefulness and optimism allowed Robinson to not only not lose his human appearance on the island for twenty-eight years, but also provide himself with everything necessary for a happy life.
There was no task that Robinson would not complete. If he decided to transport the surviving things from a shipwrecked ship, he would work until he had transported everything; if the weather had permitted, he would have transported the entire ship piece by piece. Thinking about setting up a home (dig a cave or put up a tent), he eventually did both. He did not know how much time he would have to spend on the island, he hoped that it would not be long, but he tried to ensure that his home “was protected both from the heat of the sun and from predators; so that it stands in a place where there is no dampness; so that there would be fresh water nearby” and so that the sea would certainly be visible from it, and he worked sparingly. He did not want to part with the hope of salvation, and this hope supported him in moments of despair. Having examined the territory, he became convinced that the island was uninhabited, that it was surrounded only by wild nature, unfamiliar vegetation, unknown birds and animals. There was nothing to count on for help, and in order to survive, he himself had to master many specialties. He himself was a carpenter, a joiner, a potter, and a baker. He learned to fish, hunt wild animals and make clothes from their skins, plow the land, grow rice and barley, tame and raise goats. He also learned to courageously overcome illness and failure. For example, it cost him a lot of work to try to launch a boat, but the strength of one person was not enough, and he had to abandon this idea. But Robinson managed to build a small boat, and he could now travel around his island.
After a few years of living alone on the island, all his ideas changed. He had nothing to desire because he had everything he could enjoy. He had a lot of grain, so much timber that he could build a whole fleet, and so many grapes that all these ships could be loaded with wine and raisins. But he learned to attach importance only to what he could somehow use. “Nature, experience and reflection” taught Robinson to understand that “no matter how much wealth we accumulate, we enjoy it only to the extent that we can use it, and no more.” He learned not only to submit to fate, but also to feel gratitude for what he has and simply for living. For many years, his friends were the parrot Popka, the dog and cats, which he transported from the ship. But in the twenty-fourth year of Robinson’s life, a remarkable event occurred on the island: cannibalistic savages sailed to the island, and he helped free one of the captives. From that day on, he acquired a faithful servant and comrade - Friday

It is labor and hard work of thought that help Robinson Crusoe survive and preserve his human qualities. Defoe "The Life and Amazing Adventures of Robinson Crusoe, a sailor from York, described by himself" - essay "Essay based on the novel by D. Defoe "The Life and Amazing Adventures of Robinson Crusoe"
The English writer D. Defoe went down in the history of literature as the creator of many realistic and noble images. He was a people's writer - not only in the content, but also in the form of his works, in his lively, direct manner of narration, and in his simple, accessible language. His masterpiece “The Life and Amazing Adventures of Robinson Crusoe” was translated into almost all European languages and became part of the history of world culture. In the novel, using the example of the fate of an individual, the author managed to reveal all the richness and diversity of real life, to show the importance of real human values: communication, caring for one’s neighbor, constant work.
Drawing the life of his hero on a desert island, Defoe created a poetic picture of man’s struggle for survival and glorified free creative labor. It is labor and hard work of thought that help Robinson Crusoe survive and preserve his human qualities. According to the firm conviction of the writer, work is the basis for the positive transformation of the world and the spiritual elevation of man. The hero of the novel did not fall into despair, did not lose faith. Finding himself in the wild conditions of the island, Robinson perceives everything that happened to him as a difficult life test, from which he must find a worthy way out.

Armed with the labor skills and experience of his people, he successfully uses the equipment, tools and other valuables discovered on the wrecked ship.
The author deliberately puts his hero in an exceptional situation, transferring him from the world of money to the world of work. Thus, he forces him to discover in himself those qualities that can fully manifest themselves in universal human creative, constructive activity, free from commercial calculations. It is no coincidence that Rousseau called Defoe’s novel “the most successful treatise on natural education.” The simple story of how Robinson built his hut, how he fired the first jug, how he grew bread and tamed goats, how he built and launched a boat, has continued to excite the imagination of readers of all ages for almost three centuries. And it will never lose its enormous educational significance for children and youth.

We present the most interesting works.
Zaitseva Marusya
In D. Defoe's work "Robinson Crusoe" the main character is Robinson Crusoe, who remained a man in difficult conditions.
Since childhood, Robinson was drawn to the sea, and he dreamed of becoming a sailor, but his father wanted him to become a judge and therefore cursed his son.
Robinson sometimes regretted that he had not listened to his father and ran away from home, because his father had warned him how many trials he would have to endure.
Robinson's first test was captivity. When he was sailing on a ship, they were attacked by pirates - the Moors. Robinson was in captivity for quite a long time, but there he learned cunning. In the end, he escaped captivity using his cunning.
The most difficult test was Robinson's arrival on the island, where many difficulties awaited him.
On the island, any person can become a savage, but Robinson stubbornly fought for life. Although Robinson was frightened by difficulties, he managed to cope with them.
Firstly, Robinson was constantly visited by fear, fear of wild animals, hunger, and attacks by savages. He was afraid of becoming a savage, of stooping to such a level.
Robinson heroically overcame all the difficulties of his lonely life. Robinson mustered all his willpower and remained a man in almost unsurvivable conditions.
On Robinson Island, not only did he remain human, he relived all the stages of technological development. He built himself a house, not missing a single detail, began to raise a herd of goats, he had his own barley fields, he made himself a wonderful fence, no worse than the Chinese wall, and, most importantly, he became a believer, but when he ran away from his parents' house, he was a stupid brat. In any case, the island helped him make himself an individual. As they say, every cloud has a silver lining.
I believe that Robinson remained a man thanks to his work; another in his place would either turn into a savage or lie down and die. Robinson was helped by work and the ability to cope with difficult situations.
Martyakov Dima
In the work of D. Defoe, the main character is Robinson Crusoe. Robinson's first test was a conflict with his father. He ran away from his home when he was eighteen years old. The second test was captivity. Robinson ended up with the Moors. After 8 years, he escaped from the Moors using cunning.
The third test for Robinson was the island. He got there during a storm. Robinson did not know how to survive, since he had no food or water. But every day he adapted more and more to the climate of the island.
At first it was difficult for Robinson on the desert island. But then he learned a lot: to hunt, fish, build, sew.
Robinson was at first stupid and unbelieving, but after a few years he became very wise.
When Robinson returned from the island on an English ship, his parents died, since Robinson lived on the island for a very long time: 28 years, 2 months and 19 days, and his parents, when Robinson was eighteen years old, were already old.
Robinson remained human because he wore clothes and kept a diary and a calendar.
If he had not done this, he would not have been a man, but a savage.
Zaitsev Yura
The main character of D. Defoe's book is called Robinson Crusoe. The heir of a wealthy father, from the age of eighteen he experienced many difficulties.
He always thought about the sea, but his father strictly forbade sea adventures and even cursed him when Robinson decided to go to sea. Robinson did not listen. During the voyage, his ship was attacked by pirates - the Moors. After being captured for three years, he became a brave man. Soon he escaped from the pirates.
The next confirmation of his father's curse happened when Robinson Crusoe sailed from Brazil to Africa for slaves. He failed during a shipwreck. Soon I found myself on an island where there was no one to talk to.
Once on the island, he was scared and did not immediately get used to it. After a shipwreck he needed help. There were no clothes, it was extremely difficult to get food, so he was starving. He did not have the courage to enter the depths of the forest. And there were many more difficulties on the island.
But the time came when he got tired of being afraid, and he began to fight them non-stop. First, he moved all the things from the bow of the ship. There were guns, muskets, gunpowder, grapeshot and other things for life on a desert island. Secondly, he made a house, raised goats, learned to farm, and became a believer.
He ran away from his parents' house, self-confident in his actions, unbelieving, unintelligent, after all the trials he became completely different, changing his character.
He survived and remained human thanks to work and self-control.

– My name is Daniel Defoe. I was born in old and distant England. I am a merchant and a merchant's son. As befits an enterprising person, he grew rich and then went broke. It just so happened that fate had beaten me enough. I have always stood for the equality of people, participated in the rebellion against King James 2, for which I was constantly persecuted. Once, for speaking against the government, I was put in the pillory. A crowd of people greeted me at this pillar, and this was the best reward for me for all the hardships.
I was involved in commerce, was a journalist, and in my youth even traveled to Portugal. Having changed many professions and occupations, I became interested in literature. When I was 58 years old, I became popular by writing the novel “The Life, Extraordinary and Amazing Adventures of Robinson Crusoe, a sailor from York, who lived for 28 years all alone on a desert island.
– The writer took the plot of the novel from life. In England at the beginning of the century, there was a sensational story about a sailor who lived on a desert island for 4 years and 4 months until he was picked up by a passing ship.
Now, guys, you know that this story is real, i.e. taken from the life of a sailor.

Lyric page.
Teacher:
–Please listen to the lines from K. Batyushkov’s poem “Shadow of a Friend.” Can these words apply to Robinson, before or after his life on the island?
I left the foggy shore
It seemed as if he was drowning in leaden waves.
The evening wind, the splashing of the waves,
The monotonous noise and flutter of sails,
And the helmsman's cry on deck.
Enchanted, I stood at the mast
And through the fog and night veil
I was looking for the kind luminary of the north,
My whole thought was in the memory...
Students:
– These words can be attributed to Robinson Crusoe. He stands on the deck and remembers his years on the island.
Teacher:
– On Robinson's life's path, variousdanger. For example, which ones?
Students:
– Meeting with wild lions, savages, pirates, cannibals, and also survived a shipwreck and earthquake.
Teacher:
– Robinson lived on a desert island, but, nevertheless, he knew what day of the week, month, date. Whichinvention Did it help him with this?
Students:
– A wooden calendar on which he made notches every day.
Teacher:
– What other inventions did Robinson have to make for himself on a desert island?
Students:
– He made dishes, tamed goats, built himself a home, a dacha, learned to make flour, bake bread, made a lamp from a clay cup and goat fat, inserted a string into the middle - this invention replaced a light bulb, strengthened his home.
Teacher:
– On your tables there are cards with the names of five grain crops: wheat, rice, barley, buckwheat, oats. You need to get your bearings and pick up the cards with the correct name.
– In what crops did Robinson prove himself as an agronomist?
Where did you get the seeds?
Students:
– Rice, barley. The supplies were from the ship. They were not suitable for food, because... they were chewed up by rats. Crusoe poured them out of the bag onto the ground as unnecessary and forgot about them. It rained and the seeds sprouted.
Teacher:
– What crafts did Robinson master on the island?
Students:
– Agronomist, builder, hunter, fisherman, cooper, carpenter.

– Positive.
Teacher:
– Can we call him a hero and why?
Students:
– Of course, Robinson is a hero. He did not give in to panic, behaved courageously, steadfastly, and came up with various inventions to make life easier.
Teacher:
– Think about a very difficult question and give a reasoned answer:
Are all of Robinson's qualities still positive?
– I'll try to help you figure it out. Remember what he does with a goat and a kid, with the birds that pecked the grain in his rice field, with the savages who came to their island to arrange ritual cannibal feasts.
Students:
– In these examples, Robinson is cruel because he takes the lives of other living beings. But the hero can be justified, because if he had not done this, he himself would have died of hunger or been eaten by cannibals.
Teacher:
– Who replaced Robinson with human society on the island?
Students:
– Dogs, cats, parrot.

– How did this story end?
Students:
–Robinson and Friday were rescued by the British.
Teacher:
– You and I already know that a person can at any moment find himself in a difficult, seemingly hopeless situation, but moral qualities of character help him to survive.

Working with proverbs.
Now let’s listen to the proverbs that the children of the 4th team chose for this novel, whether they fit.
Summing up the work of the teams.
What are the reasons for Robinson's appeal to readers of all generations?
Children say that Robinson attracts readers with his excellent qualities: perseverance, perseverance, hard work, optimism, and the ability to overcome all obstacles.
To each of us, the writer Daniel Defoe is primarily known for his impressive and unusual work “Robinson Crusoe”. Children and adults all over the world have been admiring the adventures of a man who, by the will of fate, ended up on a desert island for more than two centuries. This novel is passed down from generation to generation and is read with pleasure by both schoolchildren and their parents.
What is it about the main character of the popular novel named Robinson Crusoe that attracts readers so much and what do I personally like about him? First of all, he is a man of unbending will and tireless energy. He is a true optimist and a hard worker who did not die when he found himself in such circumstances, and was able to live alone for many years, providing himself with everything he needed and gradually conquering the wild nature. When Robinson found himself on the island, it seemed that the whole world was against him, almost no one knew about his existence and almost no one was interested in what happened to him. An unkind sea, wind and pouring rain - that’s all that surrounded him at the beginning of his life. lonely life on the island. But he did not give up for a minute, did not give up the fight for his life, which consisted of confronting the formidable forces of nature. If he had stopped for a moment in this struggle, the island would probably have become his grave. And he remained a man in any circumstances, for only a man is capable of mastering not only many professions in such difficult conditions, but also adapting to the laws of the surrounding world and subjugating the wild nature of the island. Robinson Crusoe was able to exert all his willpower, all his mind and remained human even in such extreme conditions in which most of us could not survive.
I cannot help but be attracted to Robinson by his persistence in work, his determination and faith in his salvation. Every day he woke up expecting help, but this did not stop him from doing his daily work. Without any tools, he built himself a home, not even a home, but a real fortress, and without the skills to work on the land, he grew a wheat crop from almost a few grains. Gradually, Robinson turned wild goats into domestic animals and grew real grapevines. What I liked most was that Robinson Crusoe was very respectful of nature and from the first days of his stay on the island he tamed animals, planted trees and studied the world around him in which he found himself. This attitude towards nature once again emphasizes that he was a real person who, in any circumstances, remains just a person and is not subject to these circumstances.
Robinson never relaxes his life on the island, every day is clearly planned out - at first he reads the Holy Scriptures, then goes hunting, after which he sorts his supplies, prepares food, cares for livestock, and performs various housework. And so every day, every week. It seems that such monotony can drive him crazy, but he does not lose heart and finds solace in communicating with nature. It was the surrounding nature, representatives of the animal world, whom Robinson Crusoe treated as his not very friendly neighbors, that helped him remain human for many years and ultimately wait for his salvation.
