amplified by the authors rich detail and
character. The reader is shown to the valley of
the ashes and narrator Nick Carroway s lasting
perception of the valley is portrayed. A clinical
and detached account is expected from such an

Robinson Crusoe Daniel Defoe
826 words
Robinson Crusoe True or Real Even though it has
been written that Daniel Defoe insisted that
Robinson Crusoe was an true story about real
events, my analysis of this story does in no way
show the certainty of the events. There simply is
no way to prove or disprove the events ever

imagination became so powerful that he actually
thought these events could have happened. He
became so caught up in his adventurous mind; the
story became real to him. My thoughts...
