I finally started to read this book in a relatively low speed compared to others. But I somehow found myself attractive, cool, intelligent when reading, making me want to go as far as I can reach to see the resulf of being a reader. 

Basically, I read the first two chapters of this book while the first one took me nearly 4 days to finish. Chapter 1 talks about the background information of the story, written in very elegant and detailed way which I dislike so much. The author put a lot of effort on describing the scene of the shipwreck and the emotional state of the father, also the main character, Robinson, in the story. Later, in the second chapter, other characters appeared, including the main character's wife, 4 sons, animals they have found in the same ship.The author also wrote a lot of the methods Robinson used to save his family, which I didn't care at all. Besides, in the second chapter, the dialogues started to emerged, and the personalities of the characters came up more. I was impressed by the characteristics of  the wife, since she was the opposite to Robinson. Also, the part where Jack, the third son, found 2 dogs made me burst out laughing. 

In the last half part of the second chapter was about the father making some technologies, and I almost forgot what were they and their purposes. I also noticed that the religious features in this book, such as the line said "God may save us if it is His will." Maybe it showed the author's belief or the cultural background when this book was written. It is interesting to find the role of religious in literatures even though I am a Atheist. The book was first published in 1812, but the wife also did many jobs to help this family escape the hopelessness, showing no gender inequality.
