Gulliver's Travels
Pages: 75-82

While he was walking around he found a ship floating in the ocean. After he asked the emperor if it was ok to take it, he went out and got it. He fixed it up and after getting permission, was able to leave Blefuscu with a cows, sheep, gold and a picture of the emperor. While sailing out in the sea, he saw another boat and it was one from his native land of England. He got on the ship and went home where he saw his wife and kids and family and made money off his tiny cows and sheeps. His name is Quinbus Flestrin.

I think Quinbus is a very smart guy. When asking to leave, he pointed out how it would benefit the kingdoms because they no longer needed to provide so much for him and stuff. He was also smart in taking some evidence so the people of England didn't think he was crazy. I would change the fact that he wasn't allowed to bring people back be issue I think it would have made it more interesting to have the tiny people of Blefuscu in England.

I think I read good today because I turned off my phone so I couldn't get distracted and I went to an isolated place where no one could disturb me. However, I had to keep lookin in the dictionary to find the meaning of a lot of words.
