Robinson Crusoe Ch.C-1: I Long For The Sea

His longing to go to sea was

• like going on a long trip.
• a great, growing tree root.
• something he sometimes wanted.
• a deep wanting that grew and grew.

His father wanted him to

• go to sea.
• buy a big farm.
• fight for England.
• stay at home.

He tried to stay at home because

• his friend's father told him not to go to sea.
• the ship's owner would not go on board ship with him again.
• he was needed at home to fight for England.
• his father and mother would be sad if he went to sea.

The first day at sea,

• the wind blew very hard.
• the sea was beautiful.
• there was a terrible storm.
• the ship went down.

After eight days of the storm,

• they got to London.
• the wind was quiet.
• everyone was sea sick.
• they left the ship.

They were lucky when they got to land because

• they rowed very hard.
• they could pull the boat up close.
• the tree roots snapped off.
• the boat did not turn over.

His friend's father said that the ship going down was

• a bad start for him.
• what his father said would happen.
• a sign to him not to go to sea again.
• what happens on most sea trips.

At the end of the story, he

• is going back to sea.
• gives up a life on the sea.
• goes to live with his mother and father.
• goes to live in London.

Another name for the story could be

• "A Bad Start, But Not An End."

This story is mainly about

• life at sea.
