Question

(1) Who is the writer of "Gulliver's Travels'?
(3) Why were the Lilliputians surprised when they saw Gulliver eating?
(4) Why was Gulliver imprisoned in the old church?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Jonathan Swift
2. The feeding process had to be done quickly, as the food was too small for Gulliver's mouth. Gulliver made signs for wanting food or drink and the Lilliputians would oblige. They were impressed by Gulliver's size, especially with the size of his mouth.
3. Gulliver was imprisoned by the Lilliputians when he first reached the island because they were frightened by his massive size. Moreover, even if he changed sides or walked around, they could be easily trampled under his feet, so for their own safety, they made him a captive.
