Read the excerpt from Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe. My next work was to view the country, and seek a proper place for my habitation, and where to stow my goods to secure them from
whatever might happen. Where I was, I yet knew not; whether on the continent or on an island; whether Inhabited or not inhabited;
whether in danger of wild beasts or not. There was a hill not above a mile from me, which rose up very steep and high, and which seemed
to overtop some other hills, which lay as in a ridge from it northward. I took out one of the fowling-pieces, and one of the pistols, and a horn
of powder, and thus armed, I travelled for discovery up to the top of that hill, where, after I had with great labor and difficulty got to the top,
I saw my fate, to my great affliction-viz. that I was in an island environed every way with the sea: no land to be seen except some rocks,
which lay a great way off, and two small islands, less than this, which lay about three leagues to the west.
