1. Short-response prompt (15 points) Read the following passage from Chapter 4 of The Life and Adventures of Robinson Crusoe, in which Crusoe describes
how he removes items from the foundered ship:
...[P]reparing the twelfth time to go on board, I found the wind began to rise. However, at low
water, I went on board, and though I thought I had rummaged the cabin so effectually, as that
nothing more could be found, yet I discovered a locker with drawers in it, in one of which I found
two or three razors, and one pair of large scissors, with some ten or a dozen of good knives and
forks; in another I found about thirty-six pounds value in money, some European coin, some
Brazil, some pieces of eight, some gold, and some silver.
I smiled to myself at the sight of this money. "O drug!" said I aloud, "what art thou good for? Thou
art not worth to me, no, not the taking off the ground; one of those knives is worth all this heap: 1
have no manner of use for thee; e'en remain where thou art, and go to the bottom, as a creature
whose life is not worth saving."
In the passage, Crusoe compares money to a drug. Explain some ways in which money was like a drug to Crusoe before
being shipwrecked. Then, analyze the tone of the passage, and explain how the comparison helps create that tone.
