GULLIVER"S TRAVELS

English
1 answer:
sertanlavr [38]3 years ago
7 0

In Liliput, Gulliver makes a parody of many aspects of the world that he finds non-sensical or comical. However, he also creates a world that is believable to the reader, as this will allow the tale to be successful. Five of the elements that Swift employs for this effect are:

  • Although the people of Liliput are small, they are similar to humans in all other respects, which allows us to better understand their problems and motivations.
  • Liliput is an empire, with a ruling emperor. This is similar to many other nations that have had emperors as rulers.
  • Liliputians follow a religion with a scripture and a prophet. They also have internal divisions within believers. This reminds the reader of Christianity.
  • The political conflict between the "high-heels" and the "low-heels" are similar to those between the Whigs and the Tories in England.
  • The rivalry between Liliput and Blefuscu is similar to that between England and France.

I need a diary entry for Old man Warner from the Lottery
Drupady [299]

Answer:

Old Man Warner, the oldest man in town, has participated in seventy-seven lotteries and is a staunch advocate for keeping things exactly the way they are. He dismisses the towns and young people who have stopped having lotteries as “crazy fools,” and he is threatened by the idea of change. He believes, illogically, that the people who want to stop holding lotteries will soon want to live in caves, as though only the lottery keeps society stable. He also holds fast to what seems to be an old wives’ tale—“Lottery in June, corn be heavy soon”—and fears that if the lottery stops, the villagers will be forced to eat “chickweed and acorns.” Again, this idea suggests that stopping the lottery will lead to a return to a much earlier era, when people hunted and gathered for their food. These illogical, irrational fears reveal that Old Man Warner harbors a strong belief in superstition. He easily accepts the way things are because this is how they’ve always been, and he believes any change to the status quo will lead to disaster. This way of thinking shows how dangerous it is to follow tradition blindly, never questioning beliefs that are passed down from one generation to the next.

How would it help the reader if the author named the sources of this information? The reader could say that he has read the book
postnew [5]

Answer:

C). The reader could learn how to avoid getting the flu.

Explanation:

In the given excerpt from 'Heart about the Flu', if the author cite or provide information about the sources that he has referred to, it would 'assist the readers to learn about the preventive measure to avoid the flu.' Since the author makes a number of deductions like 'people need to be...every year', 'vaccines must be produced..actual flu virus',etc., <u>the citation of the sources would not only help the reader to refer to it for seeking information regarding the measures to prevent flu but also establish the credibility of his claims</u>. Thus, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.
