The excerpt uses a simple and objective tone. The narrator lists the events of his life without the use of dramatic elements or long-worded descriptions. The narrator also avoids discussing his personal opinions or emotions. Similar to other neoclassical writers, Defoe directs his prose to all classes of people. His straightforward style allows more readers, especially from the middle class, to connect easily to the characters and situations in the story.
