Hello. My name is Mayu Kawabata. I would like to post about the Gulliver`s Travels. I read the Gulliver`s Travels for the first time, and its story is different I imaged. I had though the Gulliver`s Travels is a fairy tale for children, but it was wrong. This story is not just a travel journal, and it contains many messages. In Brobdingnag, Gulliver spoke to the Brobdingnag`s king about England`s law and war, and the king was terribly shocked to hear the Gulliver`s story. The king said “Your (Gulliver`s) rulers, your men in Parliament and your clever men are not working for the people of your country, and a good farmer, with his fruit or vegetables, helps his people better than them.” I think this is Swift`s idea and he criticizes the England`s law and war and it is one of the messages in this story. I want to read this story again and again to understand the message in this story.
