Crusoe Doesn't Trust Crusoe Doesn't Trust Friday Friday's
832 wordsThe "primitive" Friday demonstrates exceedingly good values superior to those of the "civilized" Crusoe. Friday's honesty, loyalty, and natural innocence are unequaled by Crusoe's deceptiveness, lack of trust in Friday, and pessimistic ideas. Early life in "civilization" gives Crusoe preconceptions that don't allow for simple, natural thinking. Yet, Friday, raised as a "savage", is given to simple childlike behavior. When compared with Crusoe, Friday triumphs with his good-natured morals. Friday...

Sugar Cane Hard Working
