Question

I. Can you compare a notebook and a knife with something which Lilliputians found in Gulliver's pocket?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Gulliver begins his first journey in 1699 and, after a storm at sea, he finds himself in a country called Lilliput, where the people are only fifteen centimetres tall. He finally escapes and goes home, but soon leaves on another journey - to Brobdingnag, then to Laputa and Luggnagg, and last, to the even stranger country of the Houyhnhnms . . . As a young man, Gulliver is proud of being human, and proud of his own country, England. When he travels through these strange lands, talking to giants, and magicians, and horses, at first he laughs at their extraordinary ideas.

Answer 2

The Lilliputians find a lot of objects in Gulliver's pockets including a journal, a snuff box, a wallet with money, a pocket watch, a knife and gun.

Explanation:

• Gulliver's Travels is a satire in prose written by Jonathan Swift in 1726. This work is considered a classic in English literature and is read and discussed even in modern times.
• Since the Lilliputians are tiny people about 15 cm tall, everything human sized appears enormous to them. Gulliver looks like a huge monster to them as do his belongings.
• The things that the Lilliputians find in Gulliver's pockets are normal, everyday things for humans but for them, they become objects of fascination.
