Attean and Matt, like Robinson Crusoe and Friday, form a bond based on mutual respect and interdependence. They come from different backgrounds and cultures but learn from each other and work together to survive in the wilderness. Both pairs demonstrate themes of friendship, survival, and overcoming differences through cooperation.
Attean does not want to read "white man's" language. In Robinson Crusoe, Robinson saves Friday's life, and Friday bows down to Robinson, saying he will become his slave forever. Attean does not want Friday to bow down to "white man." He is relating to Indians bowing down to white men.
