Question

Describe Gulliver's first encounter with laputians?

Answer 1

After escaping from the pirates Gulliver sails to the island of Laputa in his boat. He sees a huge land floating above his head and calls for help, once he pulled on the land above he is appalled at the sight of  twisted organs and clothes of the citizens. They seem incomplete and foolish, later, Gulliver discovers that their ideas are as twisted as their appearances. They cannot hear without flappers, they are always dwelling in supposedly scientific thoughts that they are hit on their ears by the flappers to get them to their immediate senses. Later Gulliver goes to Balnibarbi to visit the grand academy where absurd experiments are held. He is astonished to see begging scientists, "intellectuals: dressed in rags and awkward architecture of he city. Later the dead great philosophers disappoint Gulliver's expectations on the island of sorcerers (glubbdubdrib), His frustration is aggravated by meeting the exhausted immortals of Luggnagg.

Answer 2

Answer:

Gulliver lands in Lilliput more than once, each time following a shipwreck during the course of his voyage. He is unconscious when he reaches the shores of Lilliput. When he comes to, he finds that the Lilliputians have bound him by many threads so that he could not even move. The natives of the land were also very offensive towards him as they were quite defensive towards their kingdom.  

He is also poked at various points by the little men with arrows that have a lot of sting on them. To add to this, the Lilliputians had pierced two holes on his hat and fastened two hooks through them that were in turn fixed to a harness. Gulliver understood that his hat had been dragged along for quite a distance, but luckily, it was not damaged.
