Book Review: Gulliver’s Travels by Jonathan Swift

“Regard to good morals than to great abilities; for, since the government is necessary to
mankind, they believe, that the common size of human understanding is fitted to some
station or other; and that Providence never intended to make the management of public
affairs a mystery to be comprehended only by a few people of sublime.” - Gulliver

Introduction:

Book Name: Gulliver’s Travels

Author Name: Jonathan Swift

Genre: Satire, children’s literature

Language: English

z
I read this engaging novel again during my graduation days and one thing is for sure that
every writer must read it and so should every reader. This beautiful piece of fiction is an

lk
adventure novel and Gulliver’s travel journey. In this book, Gulliver’s adventures are divided
into four parts.
Ta
About the Author:

Jonathan Swift [30 November 1667 - 19 October 1745] was an Anglo – Irish satirist,
h_

essayist, political pamphleteer. Swift is remembered for works such as Gulliver’s travels, The
Battle of the Books, A Tale of a Tub.
He is regarded by the Encyclopaedia Britannica as the foremost prose satirist in the
English language, and less well known for his poetry. He originally published all of his work
is

under pseudonyms. He is also known for being a master of two styles of satire, the Horatian
and Juvenalian styles.
Kr

About the Book:

Gulliver’s Travels was written in 1726 by English writer Jonathan Swift. Originally titled
Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World. In four parts. By Lemuel Gulliver, First a
Surgeon, and then a captain of several ships, the book tells the story of a surgeon who has
a taste for adventure.

In each of its four books the hero, Lemuel Gulliver, embarks on a voyage; but a shipwreck
or some other hazard usually casts him up on a strange land. The first part is a voyage to
Lilliput where Gulliver finds himself in the land of miniature people who are less than 6
inches tall where you could see him as a giant among the race of little people.
Man - Mountain, as Gulliver is called, ingratiates himself with the arrogant, self-important
Lilliputians when he wades into the sea and captures an invasion fleet from neighboring.
Learning of a plot to charge him with treason, he escapes from the island.
The second part is a voyage to Brobdingnag where the inhabitants are giants. He is cared
for kindly by a nine-year-old girl, Glumdalclitch, but his tiny size exposes him to dangers and
indignities, such as getting his head caught in a squalling baby’s mouth. Also, the giants’
small physical imperfection is highly visible and disturbing to him. Picked up by an eagle and
dropped into the sea, he manages to return home.

The third part is a voyage to Laputa which is a floating island, whose absent-minded
inhabitants are so preoccupied with higher speculations that they are in constant danger of
accidental collisions.

He visits the Academy of Lagado, where he finds its lunatic savants engaged in such
impractical studies as reducing human excrement to the original food. In Luggnagg meets
the Struldbruggs, a race of immortals, whose eternal senility is brutally described.
The last part is a voyage to the Land of the Houyhnhnms – grave, rational, and virtuous
horses. There is also another race on the island, uneasily tolerated and used for menial
services by the Houyhnhnms. These are the vicious and physically disgusting Yahoos.

z
Although Gulliver pretends at first not to recognize them, he is forced at last to admit the
Yahoos are human beings. He finds perfect happiness with the Houyhnhnms, but as he is

lk
only a more advanced Yahoos, he is rejected by them in the general assembly and is
returned to England, where he finds himself no longer able to tolerate the society of his
Ta
fellow human beings. So, Gulliver’s Travels ends on a thought-provoking note at the place
where Gulliver enters the country of Houyhnhnms comparing humans to the status of an
animal.
h_

This book makes you a lover of satire beautifully penned in an interesting travel story.
With lots of imagery, imagination, and reality at play, this novel will inspire you to keep on
turning pages. The narration is great, but the language is not quite that simple or easy to
grasp. Overall, the story does not have many in-depth meanings.

Movie Review : The Great Indian Kitchen

Director: Jeo Baby

Cast: Nimisha Sajayan, Suraj Venjaramoodu

Films that question patriarchy are often criticized because they’re mostly made by men, and
it is argued that rarely do they do justice to the subject. Jeo Baby’s The Great Indian Kitchen
is an exception, and one that questions the deep-rootedness of patriarchy in our society as
realistically as possible without any gimmicks. Without picking sides, the film quietly, in the
most harrowing fashion, gives us a glimpse into the life of a married woman in India and her
role in the kitchen. With each shot, the film makes one squirm in his seat while asking
questions such as how we treat women in our homes.

The film opens with the shot of Nimisha in a dance class. We see that she’s happy, and
that it’s something that brings her joy, which is evident from the smile on her face. These
opening shots are cut with shots of food being prepared at Nimisha’s house as the family is

z
getting ready to host the groom’s family. A couple of scenes later, she’s married and we see
her in her husband’s home. As she gets used to the traditions of the family, her life unfolds in

lk
the kitchen. What is eventually made to look like a household chore (which it isn’t) slowly
turns into a nightmare, a grind that she can’t escape from. As she tries to grapple with the
Ta
situation while trying to be the ideal wife and daughter-in-law, she starts to suffocate with
nobody to her rescue.

Every time the movie shifts the camera on a female character, we see her in the kitchen
h_

or attending to the men in the house. While the women toil and break their backs in the
kitchen, the men are lazing around, scrolling through videos on whatsapp and leaving behind
food waste on the dining table for the women to clean. The film’s most beautiful but haunting
shots take place in the kitchen. As the camera zooms in on the food being prepared, all one
is

could think of is how lip-smackingly delicious it could taste. But as the camera pans on the
women who are making those dishes, working in the most horrible conditions, it’s a stark
reminder of the reality and how patriarchy has enslaved women.
Kr

A lot of scenes take place in the kitchen. This is just to drive home the point that we have
normalised women being in the kitchen, like it’s no big deal. Scenes are cut back and forth
from kitchen to the bedroom. In one beautiful scene, Nimisha tells her husband that she’d
really appreciate some foreplay when they get intimate. There’s a hard-hitting subplot about
menstruation and we see how the family treats Nimisha during this phase. While the men in
the house prepare themselves for a trip to Sabarimala and talk about purity; nobody is
bothered about the women who slog to keep everything clean. In another powerful scene,
the father-in-law tells Nimisha to drop her idea of applying for a job because he feels the job
women do in the house is far more superior to what bureaucrats and ministers do.

Nimisha Sajayan is unbelievably convincing as the wife who struggles to adjust to the life
dictated by men in her family. Her character and performance are so relatable and you’d
wonder if anyone else could’ve played her part more aptly. As much as the film talks about
patriarchy, it’s also about those oppressed women who never question these men governed
traditions.
The Great Indian Kitchen has to be the most powerful film on patriarchy in recent years and
it makes for a very important watch.

Product Review : iPhone 5

The iPhone 5 is the fanciest smart phone in the market currently. The iPhone is assembled
with great care and caution so as to successfully meet the evolving customer needs. In order
to demonstrate Apple’s commitment to meeting the needs of its consumers, this paper
provides a product review of the IPhone 5.
First of all, the IPhone 5 has a beautiful design. Many customers are concerned about
how their phone looks. Unlike other phones that do not address this need, IPhone has an
aesthetic feel. The IPhone 5 is also lighter compared to many other phone models
(McFedries 15). This means that the phone is easy to carry both in the pocket and by hand.
The weight of the phone matters because in many cases, heavier phones face the risk of
dropping to the floor in case one is multitasking while handling the phone. In addition, it is
sometimes uncomfortable to carry a heavy phone in the pocket because it often wears off
due to the heavy weight. In addition to the light weight that characterizes the iPhone 5, it is
important to understand that the phone has a higher speed in terms of internet connection
and detection compared to other phones and the IPhone 4 model. This means that
consumers can be able to enjoy the fast internet as they surf the internet. Considering the

z
growing need for accessing the internet in daily activities such as social media, iPhone 5 is
an ideal phone to possess.

lk
In addition to faster internet and Wi-Fi the iPhone 5 has a great GPS and location service
Ta
(Cohen 31).This means that there is no need for purchasing a GPS if one possesses an
iPhone 5. This shows that the iPhone5 is cost effective because one can save money for
gadgets such as a GPS because the iPhone5 provides the same service. In addition to the
GPS, the iPhone 5 can store large quantities of data, especially music. With an iPhone 5 one
h_

does not have to purchase an iPod for the purposes of listening to music. One can either
save music directly on the iPhone5 or use a memory card to save music. In addition to
music, the iPhone 5 has an excellent camera. The neatness of the pictures taken using the
iPhone 5 is greater than other phones such as Android models and the iPhone 4. It is also
is

important to note that the iPhone 5 provides a wide range of photo editing software
compared to other phones in the market. Therefore, in addition to saving money that would
be used to buy a GPS, one can also save money that could be used to buy a camera. The
Kr

iPhone 5 also comes with excellent ringtones that can be assigned to each caller in the
phone contacts. This is a characteristic that is not available in many phone models and
those phones that have the service do not have nice ringtones.
In addition to the software component of the iPhone 5, it is important to note that this phone's
battery is long-lasting (Kelby & White 29). This means that the iPhone 5 can be able to stay
charged for a longer time compared to many other phone models. For example, Android
phones are known to drain their charge in a short period.
Therefore, if one is looking for a phone that has a long battery life, the iPhone 5 is the ideal
phone to purchase.
