English

Answer and Explanation:

Lilliput is one of the strange lands in Jonathan Swift's "Gulliver's Travels". Lemuel Gulliver, the main character in the novel, ends up in Lilliput, a land populated by people who are less than 6 inches tall. But that is not where the strangeness ends. The Lilliputians are vain, shallow people. They spend a great deal of their time with petty debates and nonsensical customs. For instance, those who are best at rope dancing are chosen for court positions. Their politicians are divided between those who wear low-heeled shoes (representing the English Whigs) and those who wear high-heeled shoes (representing the English Tories). It is important to note that the Lilliputians are at war with the Blefuscuans due to a dispute on which side of the egg should be broken first.

Since Lilliput is a caricature of England and its military policy (Blefuscu is a caricature of France), we can see how Swift is fiercely criticizing the British. He is implying that their wars are decided based on unimportant matters - which means lives are lost and destroyed for no good reason. He also indicates that the English government is run without seriousness of thought, by people who are not truly concerned with the well-being of the country. Appearances and money are more important to British politicians than actually helping their people.

What is the difference between third-person limited and third-person omniscient narration?
Anna11 [10]

As you may know, third person will use third person pronouns such as he, she, it, and they.  When a story has a narration in the third person, the narrator will be talking about other people.  First person narration is when the narrator speaks about himself or herself, and second person narration is when the narrator is speaking directly to the readers or someone in the story, which is indicated by the use of the pronoun “you.”  That said, there are two types of third person—third person limited and third person omniscient.  Third person limited is when the narrator knows the thoughts of just a single character which is usually the main character.  Third person omniscient is when the narrator knows the thoughts of all the characters and pretty much everything about everything--all situations.
