Gulliver's Travels
Pages: 83-94

He is now in a new land where the natives there a much larger than he is. The people are very nice to him even though they don't understand each other. He was attacked by rats that were very big compared to him and he killed them. Also, because they're so big, he could see all their imperfections which made them look kinda weird and deformed but when he was in Lilliput, the people there thought he was weird looking because they could see all his imperfections quite clearly.

The most interesting idea I've read is "Undoubtedly philosophers are in the right, when they tell us that nothing is great or little otherwise than by comparison." I found this interesting because its true. Whenever we see something we classify it as being small or big. However the object itself isn't small or big. But when we compare it to other surrounding objects, it will be either smaller or larger than those objects which make it appear small or large.

My reading was mediocre because I was reading good until I got to a particular part and I had to share it with my sister because it was so weird.
