This ** tells the story of the protagonist's experience of being exiled to Lilliputia, Adulthood, and Flying Island and Equestria because of a shipwreck.

It can only be that the protagonist is called Gulliver. He participated in a lot of adventure stories and experienced various customs and customs, which was very interesting.

"Gulliver's Travels" was written in England in the first half of the 19th century,** mainly through the narration of the adventures of the British surgeon Gulliver in the "Lilliputian Country", "Adult Country", "Flying Island Country" and "Wisdom Country".

In order to attack the greed, hypocrisy of the people in the "civilized society" and the political corruption and darkness of the time, expose the colonial policy of the British rulers, and praise the spirit of resistance of the working people, it has distinctive democratic ideological characteristics, and is a very ironic **.

Gulliver's Travels was first published in England in 1726 and was a hit with readers, selling out within a week. Over the centuries, it has been translated into dozens of languages and spread around the world.

It is also one of the most influential works of foreign literature in China, and is listed as a compulsory reading list in the new Chinese curriculum standards. Films based on its content were brought to the big screen in 1977, 1996, and 2010.

Jonathan Swift was born in 1667, and before he was born, his father had died, leaving only his mother alive. But his mother couldn't afford him, so Jonathan Swift was raised by his uncle from an early age.

Gulliver is a man of wit and courage, who is not afraid of power, has diplomatic skills, and has a sense of justice.

Analysis of test questions: The "Chinese Curriculum Standards" clearly stipulates: "Appreciating literary works, you can have your own emotional experience, initially understand the connotation of the works, and obtain beneficial enlightenment for nature, society and life."

The ideological and emotional tendencies of the works can be used to make their own evaluations in relation to the cultural background; Be able to express your own experience of touching situations and images in the works; Savor the expressive language of the work. Therefore, the reading of classics has become one of the distinctive features of the Chinese language test questions in the high school entrance examination. In order to deal with the famous books questions in the high school entrance examination, we must do the following three things:

"Gulliver's Travels" is a strange book, it is not a mere children's book, but a literary masterpiece full of satire and criticism, the famous British writer George Orwell read no less than six times in his life, he said: "If I were to make a list of six books to keep even if the other books were destroyed, I would definitely include Gulliver's Travels." In this book, Swift's narrative skills and satirical talents are vividly reflected.

The protagonist of the work, Remel Gulliver, is an English surgeon who later rose to the rank of captain; He is well-educated, proud of his country, and seems to be knowledgeable both professionally and politically, but he is essentially a mediocre man, and Swift exploits this limitation of the protagonist to the fullest satirical effect. The work pretends that the protagonist Dr. Gulliver recounts his encounters and experiences with several voyages in advance and drifting to several fairytale countries such as Lilliputia, Adulthood, Flying Island and Zhima, which comprehensively satirizes and ridicules the social reality of Britain Among them, although the social ideals of the "Great Adult Country" and the "Intellectual Horse Country" society preserve the original characteristics of the patriarchal society, they contain the social principles and values of the Enlightenment The author exaggerates and deforms the object of satire to the point of cruelty and even absurdity, which has something in common with modern "black humor". The book consists of four volumes, and in each of them Gulliver is confronted with special circumstances that are unimaginable to ordinary people.

"Gulliver's Travels" is a unique masterpiece. Like many European ** in the 18th century, it inherited the structural method of the tramp**, and adopted the popular mode of describing travel and experience**, especially the sailing adventure**, and narrated a series of adventures of the protagonist Gulliver drifting on the sea. It was undoubtedly influenced to a considerable extent by Defoe's Robinson Crusoe and a number of other travelogue adventures**.

However, "Gulliver's Travels" and theirs, although similar in form, are very different in nature. It is a further development of the Barrel Tale and the War of Books, and has a number of unique qualities that distinguish it from the realism that began to emerge in the eighteenth century. It is a book worth reading for readers of all ages.
