1. This book has been split up into four parts. In the first part what he does is introduce his past how he was a surgeon now a voyager sailing the seven seas. He decribes while hes sailing there is a storm and he swims to this island called Lilliput. He falls asleep, when he wakes up he finds himself tied up. He also finds out that the people there are no taller then six inches. They take Gulliver to their emperor he gives him the basics for survival and such. He helps out the islanders with defeating their neighbors the Blefuscudians. He upsets the emperor which he is sentenced to be blinded. He escapes on a boat and sails back to England. So this is what the book is about just telling his adventures. Thats what his other parts are about.
2. Abuse of power is the theme, reason for this is they are abusing the "Giant" Gulliver because of his size and his gullibleness. Next is the Brobdingnagians the farmer was willing to make Gulliver farm to his death.
3.I honestly didn't want to choose this boook, I had actually tried to change it because i thought this would be boring. The reason i kept reading was because I had to. This was a project and it's worth a lot. I choose it because I had seen some previews about it and thought it was cool.
4.Obviously this book isn't real, its just impossible. I didnt really connect to anyone because how could I they are so different, maybe i could connect how Gulliver was super short to the people. Like I am small metaphoricallly, im not seen as popular.
5. The author's tone is ironic, reason for this is that he escapes the Lilliput island, but then goes back sailing. You would think that he would think it over at least for five minutes or something. Then after another adventure he goes back again and again, its really ironic.
6. The theme because it shows in the story a lot that people abuse power, dont give an inch or they'll take a mile. Narrator is Gulliver he's telling his story. Conflict is that Gulliver is always getting stuck in something like with the the storm destroying his ship and him getting stuck in Lilliput.Antagonist is Gulliver this is all about him. Setting is 18th century England
CHARACTERIZATION
1. Example of direct characterization is how in the very beginning he his saying to not to judge him for his mistakes. Indirect characterization example is when the yahoos are talking bout him when he first arrives at the island. They are not saying it to his face, but they are describing him.
2. The authors syntax doesnt change because Gulliver doesnt really change his tone throughout the entire book.
3. The protagonist, Gulliver is static and flat, reason for that is because after all his adventures he doesnt really change besides the actual adventure.
4. The author did good describing the character, but i dont think I like met the character. For example with the Heroes of Olympus series by Rick Riordan i felt i know them. I like that author much better
ENDURING MEMORYThe thing i could probably never forget it from the book is when he cant even be with his family. He thinks that they are not humans. What is up with that. That is just sick and weird. Also that he is talking to the horses when he his home. That is freaky. I dont think I could ever forget that part in the book.
This looked familiar. Seems like a good book. Nice job with the characterization.
ReplyDeleteI like this story! It's a movie huh?
ReplyDeleteSounds like a really good book, good job on this btw :)
ReplyDeleteConsider revising, but overall sounds like a good book.
ReplyDeleteBy the looks of it, I would probably read this book. It sounds very interesting. I find it funny how you were all honest in saying how the only reason you kept on reading was because this was a project.
