Kurt Hoffman English Independent Novel Project NP1LOG1

I selected this novel because I read some of the book before and thought it was exciting. I never finished the book so I thought this project would be a good to finish it.
 * Gulliver's Travels**

The info I wanted to know was how long the book is, does it fit my interest, and does the book have a good size print. I don’t like reading books with really small print.

Before the story begins Lemuel Gulliver is married to a woman and has children. He lives in London, England, and is a doctor. Gulliver decides not to be a doctor and with his wife’s approval he went to sea.

This story is told in first person point of view. Gulliver tells his own story.

The setting is London, England and is suddenly changes when Lemuel Gulliver’s ship is wrecked. The setting is now in Lilliput. This setting is important because Lilliput is were the little people are from.

The problem is that Gulliver is a prisoner to the Lilliputians.

I think the first problem is when Gulliver is trapped on this island and does not know if he will ever be able to go home again and see his wife and children.

He is amazed by the size these little Lilliputians are. Gulliver also thinks the language they speak is weird. The author got me to read this story because of the cover I was curios about the front cover. The front cover has a picture of a man tied to the ground by these little men, so this looked strange and I wanted to figure out what that was about.
