Predict

Step 1

1. Usually I enjoy being alone, because I’m a type of introvert person. But sometimes I enjoyed
with other people too, especially with my friend and my family.
2. Even though I enjoy being alone, of course I will be lonely if I’m stranded in a desert island.
Being all alone in a place that I didn’t know before, I will be very scared and lonely.

Step 2

All the words on the loop have negative meaning. That’s makes me think the main idea is not really a
good (happy) concept. Maybe it’s about fearness, terror, terrible feeling when someone face something
they never see/ experience before.

Analyze The Title

9. With a partner, answer the following questions.
 I think it’s because the old title is to long to remember or to read. It’s better if
a story have short title so the reader get easier to remember or search the
name of the story.
 Like the explanation I already mention in upper, it’s better if story have a
short title so people will et easier to remember the name of the story. If the
story have a long title, it’s like an short explanation of the story not a title.
Also, if story have shorter title it makes people will get interest and curious
what is the story about.

10. Look at four other possible titles that the publishers could have chosen from the
original. Why aren’t they suitable titles for the book?
 Because the story is telling about the Robinson Crusoe, what he been
through. I think it’s better to use just his name for the title. If, for examples,
An uninhabitated island it’s not really suit to the story,

11. Why do you think Daniel Defoe didn’t just call his book Alexander Selkirk, and
write a book describing Selkirk’s adventure? Discuss with your partner, then with
the class as awhole.
