- TRADE
- In the 16th 17th century, London people traded a variety of goods. These goods included metal tools and woven cloth from the Europeans. Similarly in Robinson Crusoe in the graphic novel early in Robinson Crusoe, Crusoe indicates that he steps on board ship a prospective slave trader in Bahia, Brazil on September 1, 1659. The date is already significant in the context of the novel, “being the same Day eight Year that I went from my Father and Mother at Hull”
- The 17th century saw a rapid increase of English colonial activity, driven by the pursuit of new land, trade, and religious freedom. The London Virginia Company created the first successful English overseas settlements at Jamestown in 1607, and the Puritans established the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1629.Similarly, ln Robinson Crusoe representation of colonialism is clearly reflected through the relationship between the colonized and colonizer, representation of a colonized land and people, and representation of colonialism from the viewpoint of trade, commerce and buildings empire.
- COLONIZATION
- London was a big city even back in the 1660s. A lot of people lived and worked there, but it wasn't very clean so it was easy to get sick. Overcrowding was a huge problem in London – when people did get sick diseases spread very quickly, and thousands of people died during the Great Plague in 1665-1666. Most of the population lived in small villages and made their living from farming. However, towns grew larger and more important. During the 16th century trade and industry grew rapidly and England became a more and more commercial country. Mining of coal, tin, and lead flourished. Similarly, Robinson Crusoe, as a young and impulsive wanderer, defied his parents and went to sea. He was involved in a series of violent storms at sea and was warned by the captain that he should not be a seafaring man. Ashamed to go home, Crusoe boarded another ship and returned from a successful trip to Africa.
- That was too fun !!!!!!!
