Summary of gulliver's travel part 2

Answer 1

The start of the Adventure’s voyage goes well but a storm somewhere north of Madagascar damages the ship and sets them off course into unknown waters. When they finally spot an island, they disembark and separate to lookfor water.Gulliveris then left behind when a huge “monster” scares his companions into rowing back to the ship without him. Gulliver runs deeper into the island and realizes he is surrounded by giant grass and corn.Gulliver’s perspective on this second voyage will be extremely different. Where Lilliput shocked him with its tininess, he is now amazed by this new land’s immensity. Note that Swift’s prose keeps pace with Gulliver’s own perspective: he does not yet know the name of the creature and so he just refers to it as a “monster.”
In the cornfield,Gulliveris terrified when he runs into a group of the “monsters” carrying giant scythes. As he tries to escape them, he compares himself to aLilliputianin a human world. He thinks, “undoubtedly philosophers are in the right, when they tell us that nothing is great or little otherwise than by comparison.”Swift’s prose continues to match up with Gulliver’s perspective. Gulliver’s reflection emphasizes an absence of absolute truth: everything is dependent on comparison, that is, perspective.
