because he was tired after swimming.
2. Gulliver couldn’t move when he woke up
because he got tied up “I attempted to rise, but
was not able to stir:for as I happened to lie on
my back, I found my arms and legs were
strongly fastened on each side to the ground;
and my hair, which was long and thick, tied
down in the same manner”.
3. The author is showing us that the people of
Lilliput are very small by describing Gulliver’s
body and that there is something really small
trying to climb up his body, not every human
of normal size will be able to climb up on
someone’s body “I felt something alive
moving on my left leg, which advancing
gently forward over my breast, came almost up
to my chin; when bending mine eyes
downwards as much as I could, I perceived it t
o be a human creature not six inches high”.
4. In my opinion a possible meaning of Hekinab
degul might be a confusion or a question about
where did the Gulliver come from.
5. I think he chose to write in a first person
because it will give us more description, the
author wants us to feel what Gulliver feels.
