Slide 13 - Open vraag
"The Story seems all the more real for the way Crusoe tells about his life. He carefully remembers his feeling sof loneliness, the doubts that he ahs about his faith and the personal development process that he goes through. Everyday events and activities are also described in great detail. (page 15)
Such a detailed descritpiorn of an individual's daily life was very unusual in Defoe's day.
