"the rescue takes place. Crusoe describes Friday as being a Native American, though very unlike the Indians of Brazil and Virginia. His religion involves the worship of a mountain god named Benamuckee, officiated over by high priests called Oowokakee. Crusoe learned a few of his native words that have been found in a Spanish-Térraba (or Teribe) dictionary, so Friday may have belonged to that tribe, also called the Naso people. Friday tolerates cannibalism, and even suggests eating the men Crusoe has killed. Crusoe teaches Friday the English language and converts him to Christianity. He tells him that cannibalism is wrong."

"Robinsonade Robinsonade () is a literary genre that takes its name from the 1719 novel ""Robinson Crusoe"" by Daniel Defoe. The success of this novel spawned so many imitations that its name was used to define a genre, which is sometimes described simply as a ""desert island story"" or a ""castaway narrative"". The word ""robinsonade"" was coined by the German writer Johann Gottfried Schnabel in the Preface of his 1731 work ""Die Insel Felsenburg"" (""The Island Stronghold""). It is often viewed as a subgenre of survivalist fiction. ""Robinson Crusoe"" and ""robinsonades"" share plot elements with William Shakespeare's ""The Tempest"", but"
