review of book
《Gulliver's Travels》 tells us a story about four amazing country through Meyer Gulliver.Writer creates a imaginary world according to the phenomenon of England. He creates a series of strange but vivid people,just like“Hui people”.Through the description of the Gulliver’s experience in each country,writer try to tell our the situation of social at that time,and criticize the meaningless factionalism,silly hierarchy ,even the shortcoming of human nature.
The first county Gulliver experiences is Lilliput.At that country,he is the giant,he can win a war just through one hand,and he can eat a lot of food in one meal.In such a small country,everything seems small too,even the factionalism.The king of the Lilliput who is called”king of king”,seems just a insignificant person,the power of such a “king”semms ridiculous,makes reader laugh.
Lilliput also reflects the ture situation of England.The two political in Lilliput distinguish each other by heel of shoe.They don’t think about work for the country,but struggle for money and power.what’s more,each country can’t live in peace,every country try to rule each other,and even debate on “how to break egg”such “principle”problem.The officer in the Lilliput is jealous,they even want to kill Gulliver because he refuses to help them wipe out other country.The writer satires the hierarchy in England by this chapter.
In Brobdingnag,writer criticize the English history through the king’s words.He writes with the most intense words and emotion.I think a lot after reading this chapter,even today,there are such greed people in the world,there are still the same thing happening in our daily life.
The chapter which makes a profound impression for me is the story in Houyhnhnms.It’s a ideal social,the people in the country is honest,and don’t know the meaning of cheat.In this chapter ,writer try to inform us what is the world he really derams for.
Finally ,there is one word I think can well conclude this book :the real appearance of human nature.
