Gullivers Travel
In the stroy Gullivers Travel, Johnathan Swift uses Gulliver, the yahoos and the Houyhnhnms to show the way people are in the world. I think the author may have been a little crazy himself. To me he uses Gulliver as the middle man. Gulliver is not exactly like neither ther yahoos nor the Houyhnhnms and dosen't look like neither of them. He does have something in common with both of them. The yahoos are hairy animals with no tail like apes, and are uncivilized. They were talked about like humans. They are ruled off emotions. The Houyhnhnms were a group of horses, animal like cfreatures. They were civilized and more like Gulliver than the yahoos. They rule and are educated and honest.The way Gulliver acted once he had been gone and the way he felt about humankind, the longer he was away really reminds me of people today. Some people move away or experience a different way of living and start to think badly about the the people they use to be around. The story was very interesting to me, because I can see Gullliver as a person in society today.
