Robinson Crusoe: Chapter Nine: I Sow my Grain
In chapter nine of Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe...Robinson improves the way he raises his crops by getting used to the rainy and dry season. He talks about how he has saved some barley and rice. He decides to plant some and save a handful of each. Because he planted it in dry soil, the drought destroyed them. He later planted some in an area of moist soil that he found, and he came back later to find that his crop grew very well. He later travels to what he calls his country house, where he cuts down wood. He makes baskets and other difficult things which he has mastered. The chapter then ends with him talking about making stew and planting.
This chapter was definitely more interesting than the last one. I enjoyed reading about him making the baskets and stuff. I enjoy reading about his adventures and the problems he faces.
