When selecting a person for a job, what do Lilliputians consider more important than ability?

The Lilliputians are the first people that Gulliver visits when he begins his travels. The Lilliputians have a system of government in which they do not appoint the most intelligent, or capable, person to a particular job. Instead, they appoint the person who can better perform rope dancing. This rope dancing is dangerous, as the ropes are a foot high (very high for the tiny Lilliputians). This satire exemplifies the way the government of England is not always ruled by clever people either, but only by those who do the most to impress the people in positions of power.

DIRECTIONS Write an original poem consisting of at least 2 stanzas or 10 lines or more. You must include: 1 Theme from this list
MrRissso [65]

My chosen theme was love, and how love can allow one to survive.

Simile→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→→↓

The sounds of his laugh, like music to my ears,

Imagery→→→→→→→→→→→↓

Allows my soul to transcend beyond the heartbreak of my past.

His heart against my ear, telling me "it'll be okay,"

Personification→→→→→→→→→→→→↑

Drives me beyond the fog of sorrow within my own.

He laughs as he listens, and, of course, I do the same,

But my chuckles sometimes come from a place deep within,

Though his cheesy jokes tend to make me smile,

My hysterics and cackles arise from the thought

That no matter how my old cruel world used to hold me down,

How I limped and tripped, dodging the pain given to me without remorse,

I was lucky enough to stumble straight into his loving arms.

<em>This probably sucks but I'd appreciate a brainliest lol : )</em>

Do u think we should live in space ?
larisa [96]
No, I don’t think we should live in space because it is already hard enough to get all the equipment needed for traveling into space. No other planet besides Earth has what we need to survive as humans. There is no water or food on any other planets therefore we would probably starve to death or die of dehydration. Unless you live in a space shuttle for the rest of your life there is really no way of surviving in space.
