Briefly write about one of the satirical stories in Gulliver s Travels

The first place of Gulliver's adventures is Lilliputia. There, he could drag the entire sea ** team with one hand, and he had to swallow a large number of chickens, ducks, cows and sheep plus many barrels of wine for a meal. In order to transport his behemoth to the capital, the people of Lilliputian used 500 craftsmen, countless ropes, 900 "big men" who carried heavy lifting and carrying tasks, 15,000 "tall" imperial horses, and so on.

In such a miniature country, all ambitions and favors, political strife and wars inevitably seem insignificant.

The partisan battle is divided into camps by high and low shoes, and the "high-heeled party" and the "low-heel party" are incompatible; Neighboring countries not only want to defeat and enslave each other, but also argue over trivial "principle" issues such as which end to knock on to eat eggs.

** The second volume is even more critical of the United Kingdom. Gulliver gave a long introduction to the history, system and current situation of the United Kingdom, as well as all kinds of things to "save face" for the country. However, from the perspective of a great country, Britain is a small country like Lilliput, and its history is full of "greed, partisanship, hypocrisy, untrustworthiness, cruelty, anger, madness, resentment, jealousy, insidiousness, and ambition."

This ** not only criticizes the current state of society, but also consciously imitates language and text. Gulliver transcribed an official proclamation in Lilliputia, which praised the king as "the king of kings" who was "loved by the whole world," "down-to-earth, with the sun on his head," and so on. However, the ubiquitous Gulliver's eyes remind us that the monarch is only a dozen centimeters tall.

The gap between "words" and "reality" makes people laugh.

Selected by the level of rope skipping ability**, ironically, but the social officialdom is dark and chaotic.

In the third volume, the pseudoscience of the time in England is satirized through the boring and absurd scientific research carried out by the people of the Lagdo Academy; The depiction of Lepita Island is a criticism of British exploitation and oppression of Ireland.

** Not only criticizes the status quo of society, but also directly satirizes human nature itself on a deeper level. In Book IV, this is the case with regard to money. Gulliver came to the kingdom of Wisdom (Equestria), where there was no money and no army and police, and explained to the owner of his horse:

Our Yehu there thinks that whether you use or save, the more money you have, the better, and there is no time when you have enough. Because they are by nature, either extravagant or insatiable. The rich enjoy the fruits of the labor of the poor, and the ratio of the poor to the rich is one thousand to one in numbers.

As a result, most of our people are forced to live a miserable ......The author notes the purely monetary relations between people in capitalist society. And thus questions about human nature.

Gulliver was a keen sailor in England. He studied medicine as a young man, and later worked as a surgeon on a ship, and traveled the world many times, visited many places, and had many adventures. The most commendable thing is his four trips to Lilliputia, Adulthood, Feidao, and Huima.

Here's what he had to say.

On May 4, 1699, Gulliver was hired by the captain of the "Antelope" to sail in the Pacific Ocean, but due to a storm, the "Antelope" ran aground and sank. He and five sailors jumped into a lifeboat to escape, but the boat capsized halfway through. Gulliver was swept to Lilliput.

When he came ashore, he lay down on the grass and slept soundly due to excessive fatigue. When he woke up, he felt that his whole body could not move, his limbs and body were tightly bound, and even his hair was tied to the ground one by one. He could only lie on his back, and the sun was so hot that he couldn't open his eyes.

At that moment, he heard a faint noise around him. At the same time, he felt a creature crawling on his left leg. The thing crept up his body, to his chest, and to his chin.

Gulliver glanced down slightly, and saw a small man less than six inches, holding a bow and arrow in both hands, carrying a quiver on his back, leading the way proudly, followed by more than forty villains, all dressed in military uniforms. Gulliver shouted.

The Lilliputian king forbade people to associate with their neighbors, satirizing the rules of navigation.

o__o "…！What the! Gulliver's Travels is an outstanding satire**, in which the author uses fictional plots and fantasy techniques to expose and criticize the corruption and crime of the British ruling class at the time. Give it a thumbs up! Thank you.
