Question

PLEASE HELP! Thank you.

Answer 1

Answer:

The author gives an explanation about the place he was born, who was his family and where they came from which shows the importance it was given at that time to a person's family origins. Because of that the historical context of the writing tells me that at that moment, it was important to know where a person's family was from.

Hope that was helpful.Thank you!!!

Answer 2

Based on the passage from Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe, the historical context of the writing demonstrates that 'In that time, it was important to know where a person's family was from.' In earlier times and even today, knowing that a person came from a well-known and influential family played a role in how that person was treated by society.
