Answer:

The Lilliputians.

Explanation:

Jonathan Swift's satirical story of "Gulliver's Travels" shows the imaginary kingdoms of various multiple personalities. Through the many characters and their diverse ways, Swift satirizes the society and political situations of his time.

And the first voyage that Gulliver undertook led him to the kingdom of Lilliput where the people are small, compared to his physical appearance. This small and short stature of the Lilliputians is Swift's way of indirectly satirizing the people of England who, he thinks, are small minded and insignificant corrupt politicians. The English society. according to him, is a petty group who thinks only of their appearances and care less about being humane and caring for others.

Answer:

Explanation:

A Walk to Remember.

Being a cancer patient myself, I understand how both might experience what they did. She was angry with him because he reminded her that she may not see graduation let alone marriage.

He lacked a lot of understanding in the beginning until she tamed him. He couldn't possibly understand, even at 18, what her problem was. Was it God? Was it what was left unfinished? Was it how he cleverly manipulated her deepest wishes -- like being in two places at once. Slowly she began to see that he was adapting to a philosophy of "Not me but thee." Like marriage. She looked the part of an emaciated cancer patient especially in the hospital.

The scene that is particularly heartbreaking for me was the scene between Landon and his father. I am a parent and I know how it feels to be dressed down by your kid especially when that kid is right. The father must have felt Landon's helplessness. So he did something about it. It is not unrealistic; it is just what fathers do.

It is a not to miss movie or book. Any well stocked library has a copy of one or the other or both.
