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.
