        <description><![CDATA[This makes the assumption that that Yahoos do represent present humanity.  I don't think that is true.  Though certain members of humanity may share Yahoo like tendencies, as a whole, humans are not really like the Yahoos.
Here are the similarities and differences, as I see them:
They do look similar to humans, but not "present" humans (maybe aside from my uncle Joe): 
"Their shape was very singular, and deformed...Their heads and breasts...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Gulliver receives a reception that is probably appropriate to his situation.  At first, the Lilliputians are understandably afraid of the "giant."  While he is sleeping they tie him down with what look to Gulliver to be pieces of thread.  When he attempts to sit up he is pelted with arrows and compelled to lay back down.  When the want to move him they still won't untie him...instead, they build a sort of sled to drag him along.
He is fed...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[When Gulliver meets the King of Brobdingnag in Book 2 of "Gulliver's Travels", the king at first thinks that Gulliver is a small animal (splacknuck) or is a clockwork toy.  When the king realizes that Gulliver is neither of those, he is astonished and fascinated.  The king then has scholars study Gulliver to determine what Gulliver was.  After the scholars studied Gulliver and still has to simply label him a "freak of nature", the king...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA["Gulliver's Travels" was written in 1726 by Jonathan Swift as a satire on the politics and society of his time.
The book starts with Lemuel Gulliver, the hero, being shipwrecked while on a voyage to the East Indies.
He washes up on the shores of Lilliput, a country inhabited by tiny people.  They take Gulliver captive by tying him down while he is still unconscious.
They then take him and give him to their emperor who keeps him as sort of a...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[When starting an essay decide on what your thesis might be. For example, what is the main theme or point to Gulliver's Travels ? When you can answer this, then you will know what to write.
If you follow the action during Gulliver's Travels you can make an account of what happens and how he reacts to it. For example, how does his interactions on those islands affect his point of view ?
When he returns to England, he doesn't fit in. Why is that...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Gulliver is a surgeon. He is very educated and speaks to the reader, saying that he will tell his story while at sea. He tells the reader about his youth and marriage to Mrs. Burton. During his first trip he is stranded on Lilliput. He wakes up and is surrounded by little people called Lilliputians.

        <description><![CDATA[In Part I, Chapter 5 of "Gulliver's Travels," Lemuel Gulliver is in the land of the Liliputians.  Although things are generally good for him, the Queen dislikes him greatly.
At one point in Chapter 5, her rooms catch on fire and the palace starts to burn.  Gulliver puts the fire out by answering the "call of nature" -- in other words, he urinates on the fire and puts it out.
This makes the Queen hate him even more and it makes her unwilling...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Swift mocks a number of social and political traditions throughout the text. In Lilliput he decries the idea of voting based on anything BUT issues. (Dancing on a rope is not so different from dancing around issues of relevance in an attempt to look good to the greatest number of people.) Elections in the British world of 1699 were not much different than what we see in the US today, which makes reading Gulliver's Travels in 2009 as current as...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[In Daniel Defoe's novel Gulliver's Travels, Gulliver becomes involved in the long-standing dispute between the tiny citizens of Lilliput and the nearby island nation of Blefuscu. The conflict between the two nations of little people began long before when one of the Lilliputian emperors determined that eggs could only be broken on the small end. Some Lilliputians rebelled against this doctrine, and Blefuscu entered the conflict since the...]]></description>
