Forum question (5 points - don't forget to respond to someone else's post for 5 more points):
What aspects of Gulliver's Travels still make it a meaningful work for children in spite of its heavy political and
historical content? You may focus on theme, symbol, characters, or whatever else you feel is appropriate.
What can we assume about the way 18th-century children were educated and raised based on the fact that
this admittedly sophisticated and somewhat difficult text was considered everyday reading for them? (You need
only discuss the Lilliputians section).
