Robinson Crusoe was born in 1632
(of course he is not a real man)

When he discovers the gold pieces in the shipwreck, he takes them, even though they have no worth on the island.

He finds a lone, human footprint in the sand on the shore.

Human Companionship

Crusoe met this man on a Friday, so he called him Man Friday as his English name. Some readers claim that he wasn't his friend but his servant. This may seem like a minor point, but because he was black it seemed controversial to later readers in that he continued his role as in the developed world. It also created the phrase Man Friday, a male server and girl Friday, a female server.

Well both characters get to the magical place by something that spins like in the Wizard of Oz Dorothy and her dog to-to get lifted u by a tornado landing on the wicked witch of the west. And in Gulliver's Travels he get stuck in a whirl pool. Also they both started as books.

[A]nd though, [Crusoe's father] said, he would not cease to pray for me, yet he would venture to say to me that if I did take this foolish step, God would not bless me (3).

No. Two different stories. Daniel Defoe wrote Robinson Crusoe in 1719. Robert Louis Stevenson wrote Treasure Island in 1883. They both do have islands, though. no he is not on treasure island

Robinson Crusoe was shipwrecked from September 30 1659 to December 19 1686.

That's 27 years, two months, and 19 days.

-This answer is incorrect as the book itself ends with Crusoe saying that he is on the island "eight and twenty years, two months, and 19 days." Furthermore, the cover page lists the full title of the book, being The Life and Strange Suprizing Adventures of Robinson Crusoe, Of York, Mariner: Who lived Eight and Twenty ears, all alone in an un-inhabited Island on the Coast of America, near the Mouth of the Great River of Oroonoque;" Suprising is indeed spelled with a "z" in the title.

-30 Sept 1659 is only the beginning of the Journal he keeps.

-Lastly, the listing as 27 years is simply a math error. Correct counting yields the correct result of 28 years.

• Crusoe names the man Friday.He is a savage,asthis is shown from his act when he cut off the cannibal's head and places it at Crusoe'feet.Although he has finally found a human companion,Crusoe is afraid of his safety and is not sure whwther he should trust Friday or not.He also finds that his custom and Friday's custom are different.For example,Friday shown his gratitude and respects to Crosoe by placing Crusoe's foot on his head.Although Friday devotes himself to Crusoe,the latter does not treat him as a slave, but as a friend and a companio.Here we lwart that Crusoe does not misuse his power.

"Friday." He called him that because he believed he had found this native man on a Friday.

Robinson Crusoe sleeps in a tree on the first night.

Generally, it is considered by many not to be the first English novel. That milestone is more frequently attributed to Moll Flanders--a later novel by Defoe. For some, Robinson Crusoe still resides within the earlier traditions of "romance"--a loose and general term used to describe the forms of fictional writing prior to and contrasted with the novel. However, for those who do make the case that Crusoe is the first novel, they will generally try to isolate the defining aspects of the novel and make the case that they are present in Crusoe (e.g. a preoccupation with interiority and personal growth as opposed to outward action, realism as opposed to romantic abstraction, modern and historical concerns as opposed to timeless universals, etc.). For a good and accessible entry way into the debate (and still very influential reading of the early novel), consult Ian Watt's Rise of the Novel: Studies in Defoe, Richardson, and Fielding--particularly the introductory chapters and the chapters devoted to reading Crusoe and Flanders. For a shorter summary of the many literary debates surrounding Crusoe, see Thomas Keymer's introduction to the Oxford World's Classic edition of Robinson Crusoe.

It is a fictional work thought to have been based, perhaps, on the true-life story of a Scottish castaway named "Alexander Selkirk." Selkirk was on an island alone for four years, before being rescued.
