Question

paragraph in about eighty words describing your experience of the sea voyage

Answer 1

Jonathan Swift was born of English parents in Dublin in 1667.
Unfortunately his father died before his birth and they had to depend
on the financial aid they received from relatives. After his schooling
and college, he worked as private secretary to Sir William Templeton
for several years. Illness caused him to return to Ireland, but due to
lack of work he came to his former post again. By 1699, Swift
composed some of his most famous satires like A Tale of the Tub and
The Battle of the Books, which were published only in 1704. His
Gulliver's Travels (written between 1721-1725) was published in
1726, and was a satire on the current politics between the Whigs and
the Tories. Though he wrote several works throughout the thirties, ill
health began to trouble him, and he took a turn for the worse until his
death on 19th October 1745. Swift's age was an age in which there
was an abundance of political controversies and ideological clashes,
particularly within the Church. Swift and his contemporaries, like
Pope, Steele and Addison, satirised prominent institutions as well as
political figures in their writings.
Summary of Gulliver's Travels
Lemuel Gulliver was an educated seafaring man who wrote his
memoirs of four voyages to remote countries of the world with the
intention of contributing to human knowledge. These are described in
the four books which make up Gulliver's Travels. In Book I, which
describes his first voyage to Lilliput, Gulliver is shipwrecked on an
unknown island near Sumatra and wakes to find himself the captive of
a race of people six inches tall. They are afraid when he moves his
head and when he shouts, and attack him with arrows and spears, but
stop when he is quiet. Gulliver makes a sign that he is hungry and
thirsty, and hundreds of men feed him with buckets of meat and water.
