In this winter vacation, I read a book called Gulliver's Travels. This book is a famous satirical novel written by the famous British satirist Swift (later learned).
When I bought this book, I already knew the general content of this book, because I had read the essence of this book before. There are many absurd contents in this book, which are obviously fictional, but they are portrayed so truly by the author. It seems that the author really worked hard when writing this book.
Written in the first person, this book describes the wonderful experience of a doctor named Gulliver. The doctor likes to explore the sea, however, it seems that his misfortune followed him all the way, capsized, met pirates, or the crew defected. However, it was because of these misfortunes that he came to four magical islands. In these four islands, either the people on the island are very small or the people on the island are very large, and there is no one on the island except horses. In short, these islands are unimaginable to ordinary people.
What impressed me the most? Lilliput? . There are surprisingly few people on this island. The height is only as high as a finger. On this island, Gulliver is regarded as? Giant? . Lilliput is not a whole, it is divided into many pieces. Just like our world, people are divided. Therefore, wars often occur there. Gulliver helped him? King? Repeated battles and defeats were greatly praised by the king.
One day, however, the princess's bedroom caught fire, and the fire was very big? Fierce? Gulliver put out the fire with a bubble of urine in desperation. This made the princess very angry. Who is the king read in Gulliver? Minister of meritorious service? So he pardoned his? Crime? . But the princess pestered him and insisted on his execution. So she came up with a vicious idea. Now Gulliver's eyes will be blinded, and the food will be reduced bit by bit until he finally starves to death. Gulliver learned the news. So I fled by boat overnight.
If Gulliver were me, I wouldn't run away. I would beat the damn princess Wang by hundreds of meters and throw her into the sea! Kill those ungrateful people! Even theirs? No amount of firepower can subdue me. Let them all pay the price and leave aboveboard!
In fact, this kind of jealousy, in our class, there are also Zhang Tianyi gangs fighting, which is a good example. I won the first place in my class, so I was beaten. This kind of jealousy should not exist. If I were you, I wouldn't plead for that stubborn dwarf!
Gulliver has been there? Fly to the island? The island was floated in the air by a big magnet. People on the island are always in fear. What are you afraid of? Afraid that the earth will be destroyed for various reasons. They are afraid that pop will hit the earth, that the ozone layer will be destroyed, that the solar energy will run out, and that the sun will expand and devour the earth? I think, even if it is the end of the world, you can't avoid it. Since there is no way to avoid it, it is better to live happily. Don't think about those things, thinking about them is a waste of your brain cells!
And the last island he went to was only horses. The horses here were more spiritual, had their own language, and were peaceful without war. Unlike the villains in front. This makes the author very envious. If only we could pretend to be in our world. Unfortunately, this is impossible.
The doctor Gulliver impressed me deeply. His wonderful experience inspired us a lot and made us understand a lot of things that we didn't know before. This book is worth reading.
Chapter two: Reflections on Gulliver's Travels.
When I first saw the title and catalogue, I thought Gulliver's Travels was just a pure adventure novel. However, when I unveiled something bit by bit, I suddenly found myself unconsciously attracted by the author into the wonderful world he weaved. After carefully pondering and understanding the author's life background, I was dismayed to find that there was another mystery hidden in the novel, and there was a satire on the corruption and evil of the British ruling class at that time between the lines. Surprisingly, the author skillfully added such a profound connotation to the novel, which easily plunged me into it.
Gulliver's first destination in his long adventure was Lilliput. Gulliver did a lot for this country, but in the end he was impeached.
Gulliver's second destination is a big country with the opposite name to Lilliput. There is no denying that Gulliver, a very human figure, is brave, witty and kind, but when he comes to an adult country, he has to become passive and flattering to Nuo Nuo. But his ingratiating behavior is really necessary, because he may be hurt by any external force at any time. So we seem to have no reason not to forgive him.
But what impressed me most in Gulliver's Travels was Whistler, where Whistler was the owner. Not in Whistler's language? Lying? And then what? Cheating? In this case, in their country, everything is true and transparent, there is no greed, no deception, no war, no frame-up. Gulliver was completely integrated into this society in the Kingdom of Yin Hui, so that he was in sharp contrast with Yehu, a humanoid monster who worked for them and a metaphor of human beings, because they always looked at his honesty with suspicion and made him feel lost. What makes me feel sad is that what shocked me most was not the grotesque thoughts of the author's inverted horse and his denial and dissatisfaction with the whole human society, but the noble character and friendly and beautiful atmosphere of the Uighur horse. The existence of this pure land shocked me most.
It can be seen from here that human society does have a lot of unhappiness. Although we are all human beings, we will still doubt, argue and hurt each other for our own interests. However, we can't deny human beings too much. After all, most people are kind and friendly, but influenced by some dark forces, they dare not trust others over time. Have those culprits ever thought that if one day they want to call someone to help them when they are cornered, maybe no one will dare to be this person again. Even the children in kindergarten understand the simple truth of the story of the wolf coming, but they don't, or they understand, just think that they won't be the unlucky naughty child. But have they ever thought that even if they are really lucky, they can exchange all their dignity and the trust of others for this ill-gotten wealth?
In today's society, petty theft has long been common, selling and reselling are not uncommon, drug trafficking and smuggling are common, and even murder and arson have occurred frequently. In this way, even the last kind and upright person will be swallowed up by this wave of greed and can no longer love others and be loved. This is the real tragedy.
As human beings, each of us has an obligation to stop this from happening. Starting today, let's be less hypocritical and more sincere; Less greedy, more generous; Less doubt, more trust; Less selfish and more selfless. In that case, please believe that we will have a better world than Huisi.
