Gulliver’s Travels
Title：
閱讀心得 Book Review：
Unlike the contents I read before, this Gulliver’s Travels, I read in my summer
vacation, is more interesting and thrilling!
We all know that Gulliver accidentally arrived in Lilliput – a country where small
people lived. He was called Man Mountain and was very popular in Lilliput. It wasn’
t the end of the story. Gulliver kept traveling after he left Lilliput, with his passion of
adventure.
He had a short-stay in Belfuscu. He traveled the land of giants, Brobdingnag. Then
he went to Laputa, a flying island. People in Laputa were all strange and distracted.
Later, Gulliver visited the academy in Balnibarbi; there, professors were having some
creative but ridiculous studies. Glubbdubdrib was a magic island; he met some
people from the past. There were Immortals, who had awful temper, in Luggnagg.
And finally, Gulliver arrived in a land where Houyhnhmns lived. He even didn’t want
to leave after the days he lived with the horses.
Gulliver seemed never to lose his passion on traveling. I admire his spirits very much
because if I was him, I would rather stay with my family members all day long. In
those places Gulliver went to, kings and residents showed him every courtesy. He was
very lucky, I think. Furthermore, Gulliver must be a clever guy. If not, he wouldn’t
be able to learn those variable languages and not forgetting them!
What kind of study I would have if I were one of the professors in Balnibarbi? Maybe
I would try to invent an USB drive which was for human’s brain only. I’m now in
over my head of the knowledge taught by high school teachers. Thus, if I put an USB
drive in my brain, I could store every word in it, and I would remember them forever!
To me, the most unforgettable part of the story was the magic in Glubdbdrib.
Gulliver called and met many people, like Alexander the Great, Hannibal, to name a
few. I would like to see the cartoonist of Crayon Shin-Chan(蠟筆小新) if I had the
magic! I could ask him create more funny comics so that kids in the world would feel
cheerful all the time.
Above all, the interesting part must be the Yahoos! Yahoos, who were the almost
humans living in the land with Houyhnmns, were hairy and wild and were the
servants there. We are the leaders of horses for sure in this world. However, in
contrast, if we were in that land, we had to work for horses and were oppressed
without freedom! From the story, Yahoos were explained as rude and silly.
Considering the amusing definitions, Jerry Yang used for its name when he first
founded the well-known Internet search engine - Yahoo.
Gulliver’ Travels seems a good and funny fairy tale for children. In fact, the reason
why the writer wrote this story was to satirize the terrible England government at
that time. It is really a remarkable story that is worth to be discussed in our daily life.
