The Book Review of Gulliver's Travels

In my spare time, I read a novel named Gulliver's Travels. Gulliver's Travels with the hero in the Angle of Gulliver described adventures: four kingdom adventure small states, adult kingdom, fly island and Hui Yin kingdom. I think that these story are very interesting.

The first story is Gulliver encounter shipwreck, came to small states.In this states the residents is only six inches. So Gulliver is huge. But in this states favorable king-subject greed, national war continuous. The second story is Gulliver curiosity on, mistakenly rushed adult kingdom. Dwellers here as minarets, height is excellent. While Gulliver like a small person. But in this country the national prestige illustrious weapons. The third story is Gulliver wel pirates, visit fly island. Here apanage shrouded control, cities and countryside decadence and barren. The fouth story is Gulliver mutiny, traverse comet by Hui Yin kingdom. This ruler high-minded, humanoids animal evil, inferior.

Throughout the book we can see the human′s absurd minuteness, vulgar and nails.In my opinion, my favourite part is when Gulliver come to Hui Yin kingdom took place story. Because I think in this country's language “to lie” and “the deceit” such inscription, the people do not understand their meaning. They do not

understand anything are “suspect”, anything tuis “does not trust”. In theirs state, all are real, transparent. Actually,I like this country,because of the country, where is the ideal region which we pursue and yearned for, does not need to worry others speech in here you the genuine and fake. But in the realistic society, some people swindles others' hard-earned money with the honeyed words; Some people kidnap and sell the child to seek the sudden and huge profits; Some people even abandon their for the money birth parents. No wonder, our teacher, the elder since childhood educates us to want to enhance vigilance, carefully is deceived.

Finally, I was also hoping the one day of our society also to be able to look like brightly because of country such, in children's eye no longer has the anxiety, the education and the reality is unified. But in other aspect, we can learn about the spirit of Gulliver. In his adventure, he overcame all kinds of dangerous and difficults. They set an example for us. In our daily life we can learn from Gulliver to conquer the all Adifficults.

1.Gulliver's Travels, Jonathan Swift's brilliant, satirical adventure, is a must-read. It is an appealing novel containing both, whimsy and wit. Swift seamlessly blends fact with fiction in this tale of an English ship surgeon. It pokes fun at the travelogues of this time period.Lemuels Gulliver goes on four remarkable voyages across the globe and gets himself in several different situations. Symbolism, humor, and intelligence fill all three-hundred and eleven pages. The reader gets a good laugh all through the book at the expense of the main character. Gulliver has no sense of humor and adapts to every single environment that he is in. The book is well written masterpiece full of details. It is impossible to lose interest while reading each eventful chapter. The reader can never really predict what is next for the adventurous, gullible Gulliver. Gulliver's travels is a novel that anyone who has an imagination would find entertaining and appealing. On the other hand, some members of the book club will find this book to ridiculous. This novel is not the typical satire, drama, comedy or adventure. Most books that we book worms read are serious or sometimes dark but this novel is neither. It is a fun read that doesn't take itself too seriously.2.Long vacation, I read the British writer Jonathan ? swift's "Gulliver's Travels." Spicy Irony and Humor novel, bizarre imagination and exaggeration, to describe very fond of nautical adventure Gulliver, everywhere around the world, has experienced large and small, thrilling and interesting adventure. Travels in Brobdingnag, the bizarre story of Lilliput deeply attracted me, but to me the deepest impression in 1710 Gulliver rafting in North America, a chance encounter on a desert island Hui from country to country, met with kindness, honesty and virtue King Hui of the story from country to country. Hui from country to country in the language did not "lie" and "deceit" in such words, people do not understand their meaning. They did not know what is "suspect", what is the "no confidence." In their country, the all are real and transparent. I am very envious of Gulliver hopes to have the luck to Hui from country to country, where it is we seek and yearn for the ideal situation, where you do not need to worry about other people to speak true. But in reality, it was with sweet words to cheat other people's hard-earned money; was trafficking in children from making excessive profits; it was even money in order to abandon their birth parents ... ... No wonder, our teachers, elders from childhood on education we have to remain vigilant, carefully taken deceived. I also look forward to the day when our society can be like the Hui from country to country, as the children's eyes no longer have doubts about, education and the reality is unified. I would like for this effort, I hope you will join, from what I start, start from the side so that the society a li

ttle more sincere and less hypocritical3.gulliver's travel格列佛游记英文读后感(one of the most interesting questions about gullivers travels is whether the houyhnhnms represent an ideal of rationality or whether on the other hand they are the butt of swift's satire. in other words, in book iv, is swift poking fun at the talking horses or does he intend for us to take them seriously as the proper way to act? if we look closely at the way that the houyhnhnms act, we can see that in fact swift does not take them seriously: he uses them to show the dangers of pride. first we have to see that swift does not even take gullver seriously. for instance, his name sounds much like gullible, which suggests that he will believe anything. also, when he first sees the yahoos and they throw excrement on him, he responds by doing the same in return until they run away. he says, "i must needs discover some more rational being," even though as a human he is already the most rational being there is. this is why swift refers to erasmus darwins discovery of the origin of the species and the voyage of the beagle-to show how gulliver knows that people are at the top of the food chain. but if lemule gulliver is satirized, so are the houyhnhnms, whose voices sound like the call of castrati. they walk on two legs instead of four, and seem to be much like people. as gulliver says, "it was with the utmost astonishment that i witnessed these creatures playing the flute and dancing a vienese waltz. to my mind, they seemed like the greatest humans ever seen in court, even more dextrous than the lord edmund burke" . as this quote demonstrates, gulliver is terribly impressed, but his admiration for the houyhnhnms is short-lived because they are so prideful. for instance, the leader of the houyhnhnms claims that he has read all the works of charles dickens, and that he can singlehandedly recite the names of all the kings and queens of england up to george ii. swift subtly shows that this houyhnhnms pride is misplaced when, in the middle of the intellectual competition, he forgets the name of queen elizabeths husband. swifts satire of the houyhnhnms comes out in other ways as well. one of the most memorable scenes is when the dapple grey mare attempts to woo the horse that guenivre has brought with him to the island. first she acts flirtatiously, parading around the bewildered horse. but when this does not have the desired effect, she gets another idea: "as i watched in amazement from my perch in the top of a tree, the sorrel nag dashed off and returned with a yahoo on her back who was yet more monstrous than mr. pope being fitted by a clothier. she dropped this creature before my nag as if offering up a sacrifice. my horse sniffed the creature and turned away." it might seem that we should take this scene seriously as a failed attempt at courtship, and that consequently we should see the grey mare as an unrequited lover. but it makes more

sense if we see that swift is being satiric here: it is the female houyhnhnm who makes the move, which would not have happened in eighteenth-century england. the houyhnhm is being prideful, and it is that pride that makes him unable to impress gullivers horse. gulliver imagines the horse saying, sblood, the notion of creating the bare backed beast with an animal who had held mr. pope on her back makes me queezy . a final indication that the houyhnmns are not meant to be taken seriously occurs when the leader of the houynhms visits lilliput, where he visits the french royal society. he goes into a room in which a scientist is trying to turn wine into water (itself a prideful act that refers to the marriage at gallilee). the scientist has been working hard at the experiment for many years without success, when the houyhnmn arrives and immediately knows that to do: "the creature no sooner stepped through the doorway than he struck upon a plan. slurping up all the wine in sight, he quickly made water in a bucket that sat near the door" . he has accomplished the scientists goal, but the scientist is not happy, for his livelihood has now been destroyed. swifts clear implication is that even though the houyhnhmns are smart, they do not know how to use that knowledge for the benefit of society, only for their own prideful agrandizement. throughout gullivers travels, the houyhnhms are shown to be an ideal gone wrong. though their intent might have been good, they don't know how to do what they want to do because they are filled with pride. they mislead gulliver and they even mislead themselves. the satire on them is particularly well explained by the new born houyhnhm who, having just been born, exclaims, "with this sort of entrance, what must i expect from the rest of my life!" .
