escape the island Crusoe says This evening going farther into the valleys I found there were plenty of goats His actions show that he is proactive and determined to survive Solves Problems Crusoe's actions reveal his problem-solving abilities When faced with challenges he takes action to find solutions He uses what is available to him and uses his knowledge to overcome difficulties He builds a sturdy tent using materials from the shipwreck such as planks ropes and nails When food was ending he started to hunt animals and cultivate crops for his livelihood He learns to hunt wild goats and birds and catches fish from the sea and nearby streams yet I frequently caught fish enough as much as I cared to eat Practical Approach Crusoe's actions demonstrate that he has a practical mindset He is driven by the need to survive and takes practical steps to achieve his goals He prioritizes actions that have substantial results such as gathering resources building tools and ensuring his safety Crusoe builds the wall despite adverse weather He says I worked very hard the rains hindering me many days nay sometimes weeks together but I thought I should never be perfectly secure till this wall was finished Crusoe's actions also contribute to his personal growth He learns important lessons through trial and error He gains wisdom from his experiences Rather than relying solely on thinking Crusoe learns by engaging directly with the challenges he faces Reflection and Spiritual Growth While Crusoe is predominantly a man of action his experiences on the island also lead him to periods of thoughtfulness Crusoe spends considerable time reflecting on his past life and his current situation He often considers the reasons behind his misfortunes He sees his suffering as a divine punishment for his earlier disobedience He understands the gravity of his disobedience and the importance of seeking God's forgiveness my heart was not only comforted but I was guided and encouraged to pray earnestly to God for deliverance Rather than pondering his thoughts Crusoe begins to pray earnestly He prays to God to pardon his sins and grant him mercy To wrap up Robinson Crusoe is more accurately described as a man of action His survival adaptation and success on the deserted island are primarily due to his proactive and industrious nature While he does engage in significant reflection and thought these moments complement his actions rather than overshadow them
