Gulliver´s Fifth Travel (3ºC)




So after going to Lilliput, Brobdingnag, Laputa and Houyhnhnms, Gulliver reportedly visited a fifth country...


Kratox, the city with huge buildings and tiny people.
"The city was very curious because the buildings were made of a disgusting material whose name is unknown, the city was made up with buildings with a huge height, the were enormous and the curious thing is that Kratox people were very small, even smaller than a mosquito, imagine the time that took them to build such big buildings, that means that the people that lived there were very hardworking". (Jorge E.)

A place called... Earth.
"The fifth place  Gulliver visited was the Earth. It was a very dirty and nasty place and their inhabitants did not care about it. The first time he attempted to speak to a native but she just ignored him. (...)After a week, Gulliver was homeless, thirsty and starving.(...) Tired of seeking for a non-existing help, he decided to leave. He began to search for his boat but he realized it had been stolen. As a last try he asked for help in a very pooor and bad-looking house. (...) An ancient man appeared, Gulliver asked what was going on in that island.
-`(...) My boat led me to this place where I found no kindness at all. Everyone is way too selfish. I have been here for 12 years and there is no way anyone will speak to you back and if you want to leave, you´d better start building your boat now by yourself.´
(...) Gulliver finally left the island very angrily damning everybody who lived there." (Óscar R.)

Trouk island, the country where sharks speak English and judge the book by the cover.
"(...) Next day when Gulliver woke up he saw some sharks in the shore and he was amazed because sharks can´t live without water, but the most frightening thing was that the two sharks could speak English. He went near them and started to speak with them. When the sharks saw Gulliver they went inside the ocean, they were afraid of Gulliver because he was very big, ugly and seemed to be dangerous, but the truth is that he was very peaceful and liked to make new friends.(...)
The moral of my story is that you don´t have to judge people without knowing them, then you may see if you like them or not. In my story I am criticizing the people that judge others because of their physical appearance". (Daniel G.)

Misach, the country where women rule.
"Gulliver travelled to a new country called Misach. (...) In that country women were the ones that governed and the ones that decided the job for everyone. He was not very comfortable with that law but he didn´t know why he thought like that. The reason was that in the country where he belonged to, the society thought women couldn´t govern a country in a good way.(...) Gulliver started talking with the men of that place with the objective of making a revolution between women and men. When the government started to to suspect about a possible revolution, all the women tried to capture Gulliver. (...) He decided to make a press conference to share his ideas with with the whole country and to make a big change in society. He started saying we all have the same rights to try to govern the country, (...) to fall in love with someone of the same sex, to get a good job (...). Finally all began to think like him and at the end of that century that society began to have the same rights for all". (Carolina B.)
