Further thinking
1 Do you think Gulliver could get away from the tiny men Why or why not
Version 1: Yes, I think Gulliver could get away from the tiny men
because he was much larger and stronger.
Version 2: No, I don’t think Gulliver could get away from the tiny
men because the tiny men were afraid of his giant size and
unfarmiliar appearance, so they might put him in chains for
the sake of their safety. This made it difficult for Gulliver to
escape.
Further thinking
2 Suppose the same thing happened to you. What would you do
Version 1: I would try my best to break free, climb to the mountain in the distance and hide in the forest to avoid being seen.
Version 2: I would make myself as small as the tiny men and become
one of them. It will allow me to explore and travel easily.
Further thinking
3 How would you feel in this situation: surprised, scared or curious Give your reasons.
I would have very mixed feelings—a combination of surprise, fear and curiosity. When I first see the Lilliputians, I will be surprised by their tiny size and their well-organized society. However, I will also feel scared because I can sense potential danger. At the same time, I am curious about their culture and way of life.
