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

English

faust18 [17]3 years ago
5 0

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.

Which thesis is the strongest choice for an essay explaining the writer's vision of a utopia?
const2013 [10]

Answer:

The answer is your first option: <u>If a true utopia can ever be achieved, everyone must share the same vision and be willing to act for the common </u>

<u>good.</u>

Explanation:

The second and third option aren't the strongest choice for an essay explaining the writer's vision of a utopia, as the third option explains how he prepared his text and well the answer is:<em> by presenting many characteristics, </em>this doesn't give us any writer's vision at all, only a structure of his text. The second option, although it is indeed presenting the writer's vision, it isn't the strongest, for it only presents three limited and specified reasons; whereas, the first option, presents two visions, but they're not limited as sharing the same vision implies many things, acting for the common good too, for instance; giving shelter to the less fortunates in cold weather, feeding people on Thanksgiving, donating clothes, etc, etc... So this is the reson why this is the strongest choice.
