Read this excerpt from the adventures of robinson crusoe: i could have been content to have taken this moor with me, and have drowned the boy, but there was no venturing to trust him. when he was gone i turned to the boy whom they called xury, and said to him, "xury, if you will be faithful to me i will make you a great man; but if you will not stroke your face to be true to me (that is, swear by mahomet and his father's beard), i must throw you into the sea too." the boy smiled in my face, and spoke so innocently, that i could not mistrust him; and swore to be faithful to me, and go all over the world with me. what does this excerpt reveal about crusoe's attitude toward other cultures?
