What does the historical context of the writing demonstrate or tell you? Even in that time, children and parents disagreed about what was best for the future. Unlike today, children in that time did exactly what their parents wanted them to do. It was unusual in that time for children to take on their parents' careers, as they do today. Children who grew up in that time had their careers decided upon from their birth.

Abridged from Robinson Crusoe, by Daniel Defoe Being the third son of the family and not bred to any trade, my head began to be filled very early with rambling thoughts. My father, who was very ancient, had given me a competent share of learning, as far as house-education and a country free school generally go, and designed me for the law; but I would be satisfied with nothing but going to sea; and my inclination to this led me so strongly against the will, nay, the commands of my father, and against all the entreaties and persuasions of my mother and other friends, that there seemed to be something fatal in that propensity of nature, tending directly to the life of misery which was to befall me. What does the historical context of the writing demonstrate or tell you?
