Gulliver traveled across the sea from England.He arrived three wonder countries.Dwarf'country and giant'country and horse'country.He always studied their language and learned something from touching them and had accidents.
I enjoyed this book.And I learned a lot of things from it.I think this book is a enjoyble adventure and satire on human world.I think that this author wanted to tell human egomaniac.I want to read Gulliver's travel more. ( )

Gulliver experienced three wonder travels.
First, he went to Lilliput where very small people live in.
Second, he went to Brobdingnag where very tall people live in. Third, he went to country of the Houythhnms where horses and yahoos lives in.
I think Houythhnms is the most wonder. Because horses can speak. Yahoos is ugly animal. It's not believable !
Gulliver got over many difficults that travel happened by his brain and luck.
I knew one part of this story, so I was glad to know all of it. ( )

We know this tale well. GUlliver is lost on the sea and he get some wonder countries. In one of those, there are very small people, and in the other country, there are very big people. Gulliver travels those countries.
I like it that Gulliver adapt each environment of those strange countries. Eventually it makes him eccentric, but he is so wise. ( )

This story is about Gulliver's travels as title.
He traveled to three countries, but they were all strange.
First, it was the country of small peaple,this was that we already well-known story.Next, he went to big peaple's country.Finally,he traveled the country of animals.
These three country had each good points and faults. They taught me important things through the travels.
Please read and enjoy the book! ( )
