Question

Write a short account of how Gulliver landed in Lilliput in 150 words​

Answer 1

• At first, the Lilliputians assume that, because of his size, Gulliver will be violent and aggressive, so they treat him as an enemy.  They tie him down, shoot him with arrows, and eventually transport him, lying prostrate, to their city.  Once there, they chain him up and search (with his help) the contents of his pockets, confiscating most of his personal effects.  It does not take long, however, for them to begin to like Gulliver—although there are still some who strongly dislike him—and they begin to discern the ways in which they might put him to use in their longstanding feud with Blefuscu.  Although Gulliver initially aids Lilliput in this war, he eventually tells the emperor that he refuses to be the means by which a free and independent nation is enslaved.   Between this refusal and his attempt to help put out a palace fire with his urine, he is charged with high crimes against the state, and he escapes to Blefuscu.
