Gullivers Travels

In this post, I am going to talk about the book Gullivers Travels and the journeys Gulliver made to different kingdoms. His first voyage is to The Land of Lilliput. The Land of Lilliput is actually an island with people. The different thing about that land is actually that the people there are actually one-twelfth the size of a regular human. He was washed ashore there after a shipwreck and eventually became a favourite in court after assurance that he meant no harm. He then helped the Lilliputians to overcome their neighbours, the Blefuscudians. He then escapes to Blefuscu, where he finds an abandoned boat and sails home.
His next voyage was to Brobdingnag, where people are exact opposites of people in Lilliput, which is twelve times the size of humans. he arrived there as his ship was steered of course during a storm. He was brought to a native farmers house and was exhibited for show in exchange for money. The queen of the land loved Gulliver and bought Gulliver, taking him back to her. She even commissioned for a small house to be built just for him. Gulliver then talked to the king about England but the king was unhappy about England's use of guns and cannons. He later returned to England when the house is dropped into the sea and was picked up by some sailors.
He then went to Laputa and a few other countries. His ship was attacked by pirates and he was marooned to a nearby desolate rocky island, near India. He was then rescued by the flying island of Laputa, a kingdom devoted to arts of music and mathematics. Aerial bombardment was the only time concieved by a method of warfare when gulliver saw how the people threw rocks at rebellious cities.
After which he went to the country of the Houyhnhnms, where horses are far superior than men. He was well liked and lived in a horses household. However he was later feared as a threat to the country and was expelled. he was picked up by a Portuguese ship which took him back to England. He became a recluse after that.
I think what the books is trying to address is race and religion. the Lilliputians could represent a weaker, a more non-influential race whilst the people of Brobdingnag could represent a larger race. People of Laputa can also be of a race. People of the Houyhnhnms can be a race not many expect to be in great power but already has great influences over the community. But in conclusion, I would like to say that racial harmony is important. Thats all for this post, bye!
