GULLIVERS TRAVEL

Gulliver is a married surgeon from Nottinghamsire , England, who like to


traveling. On his way to southern ocean, he gets caught in a storm and washed
on an island. When he woke up, he found himself being bound by a tiny people
around six inches tall. The island called Lilliput island, because of theirs tiny
body. Many soldiers tried to hurt him by attack him with an arrow. But it
didnt hurt him at all because the arrow are little more than pinpricks. The
Lilliputs gave him many tiny foods and sleeping pills and then they took him to
the capital city. He was presented to the emperor, who is entertained by a
Gulliver. Short time, the liliputs and Gulliver became a good friend.
Eventually, Gulliver became a national resource and used by the army in its
war with the blefuscu. Gulliver agrees to attack the blefuscu and uses his huge
size body to capture all of blufuscus navy. But, he refused the emperor order to
kill all people in blefuscu and make sure the emperor that the war is over. But
things change when Gulliver is convicted of treason for putting out a fire in the
royal palace with his urine and is condemned to be shot in the eyes and starved
to death. Gulliver escapes to Blefuscu, where he is able to repair a boat he finds
and back to sailing. He leaves Lilliput island and take 4 small goat. 3 of them
dies , but the one is still alive. Once again, a storm blowed up , and Gulliver
winds up on the island of Brobdingnagian. The brobdingnagian are giants 60
feet tall. Here, a field worker discovers him. The farmer initially treats him as
little more than an animal, keeping him for amusement. The farmer eventually
sells Gulliver to the queen, who keeps him like a kind of pet. While Gulliver
lives at the palace, he is constantly in danger: bees the size of pigeons almost
stab him, a puppy almost tramples him to death. Because Gulliver feels
ridiculous all the time, he starts to lose some of the pride and self-importance he
couldn't help having in Lilliput. Finally, Gulliver leaved Brobdingnag by a
bizarre accident and brought him back to sailing again. And finally , he came to
a distant island. This island is home to two kinds of creatures: the beastly
Yahoos, violent, lying, disgusting animals who serve the houyhnhnms and the
Houyhnhnms, rational-thinking horses who rule. He is treated with great
courtesy and kindness by the horses and is enlightened by his many
conversations with them and by his exposure to their noble culture. He wants
to stay with the Houyhnhnms, but his bared body reveals to the horses that he
is very much like a Yahoo, and he is banished. Gulliver is grief-stricken but
agrees to leave. He fashions a canoe and makes his way to a nearby island,
where he is picked up by a Portuguese ship captain who treats him well, though
Gulliver cannot help now seeing the captainand all humansas shamefully
Yahoo like. After he came to his home, he tell his family and the other people
about his journey. Nobody believe in him until he showed them a Lilliput goat
that he bought from Lilliput. Lesson learned from Gulliver's Travels: the more
we see of humans, the less we want to be one island.
