I need your help to rephrase the description of Friday in Defoe's Robinson Crusoe. I really hope you can help me!
1) First I let you have a look at the sentences I need to rephrase:
" a comely handsome fellow, perfectly well made, with straight strong limbs; tall and well shaped; "about twenty six years of age"; very goood countenance"; something very manly in his face"; "all the sweetness and softness of an European in his countenance".
This is the first part.
a comely handsome fellow, Choose one of the adjectives, but don't use both
perfectly well made, with straight strong limbs; tall and well shaped; There's repetition/redundancy here, too. Cut out the words that mean the same as another word in this group.
"about twenty six years of age"; OK
very good countenance"; something very manly in his face"; also somewhat repetitive/redundant
"all the sweetness and softness of a European in his countenance". OK, but don't use "an" in front of a long U sound, such as the first syllable in "European"
Sure! I can help you rephrase the description of Friday from Defoe's Robinson Crusoe. Here's a rephrased version of the sentences you provided:
- "He was an attractive and well-proportioned man, with a well-built physique and strong, straight limbs."
- "He was tall and had a well-defined shape."
- "He appeared to be around twenty-six years old."
- "His countenance was very pleasing and his face exuded a certain masculinity."
- "His face displayed both the kindness and gentleness of a European."
I hope these rephrased sentences better convey the description of Friday! Let me know if you need further assistance with the remaining parts.
