YoooooooooooooooooooYoooooooooooooooooooAt first Gulliver’s travels comes off as a fantasy/adventure, but in actuality it’s a satirical commentary on society in Johnathan Swift. It starts off with Gulliver talking about himself. Later he gets shipwrecked and ends up in Lilliput, where the people are 6 inches tall. At first they think Gulliver is an enemy, but then realize he is no threat. He is taken to the palace and housed in a cursed temple. Gulliver is amazed at how silly the government’s rules are, for example to gain entry to the court the candidates must petition to the emperor. After the emperor gets 5 or 6 petitions he sets up a competition in which the candidates must do the Dance on the Rope, whoever jumps the highest without falling gets the job. The Lilliputians employ Gulliver to help in their war against Blefuscudians, but he refuses and that is the beginning of his downfall. He then gets transported to Brobdingnag, where the people are 60 ft. tall. At first they think Gulliver is an animal of some sort, but when they realize he can communicate they house him with a farmer. This place is very different than Lilliput, the king is appalled when Gulliver tells him about England, and asks why the people are so vicious and mean. However Gulliver feels like a freak there, and one day while he was out with the king and queen, an eagle swoops down and carries him off to drop him in the sea. Some sailors then rescue him. But yet again there is a shipwreck, and he finds himself in a world inhabited by Houyhnhnms, a creature that looks like a horse, yet has an amazing intellect. The Houyhnhnms are amazed that Gulliver is intelligent and take him in. Later Gulliver realizes why they are amazed; the only humans in that land are savage and stupid. Swift”s writing style reflects what he thinks of the characters or actions, without telling the reader outright. Also keep in mind that this is a social commentary, in a satirical view, of the times that Swift lived in. The Lilliputians are supposed to symbolize the Whigs, and Swift thinks of them as stupid and power-hungry. He demonstrates this when they search Gulliver for weapons. In Swift’s time the Whigs searched the Tories for evidence of their connections with England. He also makes fun of the thinking at the time; the Lilliputians were discriminated against whether they wore either high heels or low heels, and the ones that tried to remain neutral worse one high heel and one low heel. At the end of the book Swift demonstrates his thought on humans, when all the humans were savage and stupid, while the animals were brilliant. I believe that Swift demonstrates all his points very well. The reader is transported to the story, yet unlike most books, Swift doesn’t tell the reader exactly what to think, he insinuates it but lets the reader come to his own conclusions.
When I first started watching the moive I thought its only purpose was totalk about the political system in England. But after it want on I sawthat there could be a deeper message first is about theLilliputians the second about Gulliver visits the giants, the third aboutthe flying island and last about Gullivers travels to the land ofHouyhnhmland.first one Gulliver gets shipwrecked and ends up on the islandLilliput were some inhabitans of the island finds him and ties him to theground. The king hears of the news and sends the army to stop the giantfrom escaping. Gulliver is then taken to the kings castle were he issearched fore weapons or other dangerous items. The Lilliputians aredivided into two tribes. One is holding Gulliver and the other lives on the
Lilliput is an enormous island from the west of the country. The first tribe, in the middle we are called. It spans from the east at the southern end where the lilliputans reside and the west at the east center of the town. This is a huge place with a large sea so a ship can sail through the sea. It is still here with its walls with stones and walls covered in moss from the time it was growing up. The second tribe, in the middle, live there and the first tribe lives in their own island. This is where we actually live and the people live together and the people live the rest of the time. The first person to leave the island is the Lilliput, who is there on the island with his children who also live on the island. The second person to leave is the Lilliputans who live on the island with his own children who also live on the island. this is a good place to start in any of the tribes you will look for if you want to be able to get more information about this people…first, who it does business with and first and foremost who it is about. The population of the island is the same as the population on the other coast. It’s divided in the first tribe into smaller tribes and larger tribes in the second tribe.The third tribe lives in its own house but the houses in these other tribes are smaller. The king decides to move these smaller tribes into Lilliput where the house sits.The king will help two neighboring tribes start to live together and then make sure they survive and they don’t run away. The king then goes through all the small tribes of the place and says he will help the small tribes do something important in this place but I thought the king was right. In Lilliput I can see no difference in any of the cities. It doesn’t matter. The people know exactly what went on but I can’t see any difference. It makes the island too big and we will become too big and it becomes an industrial hub. The town is bigger and we need to make something of it and we have to make new people. We need a lot of land for the country. The Lilliputans have huge numbers of their people in big houses but can they manage to control the wholetown as well? We have to make them smaller and we have to make new citizens but we will take care of the large houses for the people. They need money to live better but it will take a lot harder to control the population. Well that is why I had a big meeting with the king and with the mayor of the town. I told him well we need a large government to decide on our problems, the only way we can control everyone is through peace. The whole town was created in the beginning for a settlement where people can live comfortably and
