Wonderful plot: 1. Chapter 1 of Volume 1 of "Gulliver's Travels"
I tried to get up, but couldn't move. I was lying on my back, and then I realized that my arms, My legs are tied tightly to the ground; my hair, which is long and thick, is also tied to the ground. I felt like there were several strings tied across my body from my armpits to my thighs. I could only look up. The sun was getting hotter and it stung my eyes. I heard the noise around me, but as I lay like that, I could see nothing but the sky. After a while, I felt something alive squirming on my left leg. It crossed my chest and slowly came forward, almost coming to my chin. I looked down as hard as I could with my eyes, but it turned out to be a living man not six inches long, holding a bow and arrow in his hands and carrying a quiver on his back. At the same time, I think there were at least forty identical people (I guess) following him. I was very surprised and yelled, which made them turn around and run away.
Later someone told me that several of them were injured because they jumped from my waist to the ground. But they came back soon. One person dared to go where he could see my whole face. He raised his hands and looked up in surprise, and shouted in a sharp and clear voice: "Haiqinna?6?1 belt Gur", and the rest People also shouted this sentence several times, but at that time I didn’t understand what they meant. Readers may believe that it was very uncomfortable for me to lie like that until I finally struggled to free myself from my bonds. I was lucky enough to break the rope in no time and pull out the wooden pegs on the ground that bound my left arm. I raised my left arm in front of me and discovered the way they tied me. At this time, I pulled hard, and although it was very painful, I loosened the rope that tied my hair on the left side a little, so that I could turn my head two inches. But before I could catch them, they ran away; they shouted sharply and shrilly in unison, and after the shouting, I heard one person shout: "Torgo? 6? 1 Fengnake!" In the blink of an eye, I felt hundreds of arrows hit my left hand, stinging me like needles; then they shot into the sky for a while, just like us Europeans dropping bombs, I think there were quite a few An arrow landed on me (although I didn't feel it), and some even landed on my face, so I quickly covered my face with my left hand. After this shower of arrows passed, I groaned in agony, and after a while I struggled to get away. They fired another round of arrows longer than the ones they had just fired, and some of them tried to stab me in the waist with their spears. Luckily I was wearing a cowhide vest so they couldn't get in.
Appreciation:
The novel’s unique conception sets the tone of the book from the very beginning. Gulliver was blown to a desert island by a storm. When he woke up, he found that he had been tied up by more than a hundred villains. This passage vividly describes the words and deeds of the little people who entered Gulliver's field of vision for the first time, especially their behavior of constantly shooting arrows to sting Gulliver, which foreshadowed the development of the subsequent plot.
The writing style at the beginning is simple and concise. The writer once declared: "I would rather use the simplest and plainest writing style to narrate ordinary facts, because I wrote this book mainly to report to you, not for your entertainment." Although Gulliver traveled around the countries with different scenes and encounters, Different, but the layout and style of the whole novel are consistent. The causes and consequences of each time Gulliver goes to sea are explained in detail. The complex plots are described in order of time and space. The text is concise and vivid, and the story is strong, so it is elegant and popular. ***reward.
2. Description of Lilliput’s capital Miltondo and the royal palace - the author discussed imperial affairs with a minister - the author expressed his willingness to serve the emperor and fight against the enemy.
When I was freed, one of my first requests was to be allowed to visit the capital city of Miltondo. The emperor readily agreed, but he paid special attention not to harm local residents and houses. People also learned about my plan to visit the capital from the notice. Since the city was surrounded by a wall two and a half feet high and at least eleven inches wide, it was possible to drive a carriage around it safely. Every ten feet on either side of the wall were strong towers.
It's not so much "Gulliver's Travels" as "My Travels with Gulliver", because I was almost fascinated when reading this book, as if I was having an adventure with him. But I admire his wit and bravery from the bottom of my heart. He always gives me the feeling of being "surrounded by adversity". This is the main reason why he set foot on his own country again after going through many hardships, so I am determined to learn this from him. Otherwise, if I encounter this kind of thing in the future, I might have died long ago
Reading harvest: This summer vacation, I read a book called "Gulliver's Travels" . The author of this book is Britain's best satirical expert and politician in the early eighteenth century - Jiang Quasheng Swift.
That night, I finished reading the last page of this book, and it seemed that I still had more to say.
At this time, I had a severe headache, as if I wanted to explode. I forcefully opened my sleepy eyes, and what caught my eye was an ancient building that seemed very familiar but had never been seen before. I looked around and found that I was lying in a crystal coffin soaked in an inexplicable liquid, unable to move. Tian: Something deep in my brain vaguely told me that this is Loulan.
There are many people carrying the crystal coffin and walking somewhere. I listened intently, and the ancient folk music of Loulan was soaked in sadness. My subconscious tells me that this is a funeral, and the person who will be buried is me! I tried to turn my head and saw many people also wearing plain clothes. The old mother who staggers around and cries loudly is my "grandma", and the old man with pale temples and stooped waist is my "father". Yes, on the night of my birthday. Foreigners invaded our city again, and the flying arrow sword hit me at the dinner table. So, a birthday banquet with the light of swords and shadows turned into a funeral.
The Peacock God knew how reluctant I was to leave my dearest relatives. My tears were mixed with the liquid in the crystal coffin. I opened my mouth but could not make a sound. I am dead and can only be buried at the end of the desert.
Ah, no! I was startled and woke up from my sleep. It turns out this is just a dream! It scared me. I think it's a coincidence that Swift went on four trips, all of which made many major discoveries, from which he directly satirized and swept across British society and other aspects. My travels to Gu Loulan not only experienced a life and death experience, but also made me realize the horror of war.
Each chapter of the book "Gulliver's Travels" reveals different thoughts, which is thought-provoking and makes people understand many of the problems that existed in society at that time. I like this book both in terms of content and writing style. The dream I had was just an excuse.
As the sun sets, a group of holy white doves appear and disappear against the pink halo of clouds. I faced the sky, recalling "Gulliver's Travels", and even more so, Ancient Loulan!
