Ikuko Aoyama Gulliver's travel
Hello. My name is Ikuko Aoyama. I would like to post about Gulliver's Travel. I was not interested in Gulliver's travel at all until I read this book. After I read it, I thought I should have read it when I was younger. Especially, I like the travel to Houyhnhnms. It is shocking! I could not get the situation first. What's Yahoo? I read the chapter some times and pictured to myself. Yahoos look like human-beings but are Savage, stupid and lazy. On the other hand, the ruler, horses are intelligent. When I understood it, I thought Swift knew what was really important for our life and satirized the society. The most impressing thing in the story is that there is no word for untrue in Houyhnhnm's language. I found that I often do not say true things unconsciously. Thank you.
