Gullive's Travels

This has to be my favorite reading so far out of all we have read. The idea of far away lands where there are people 6 inches tall and others where men are 12 times taller than a normal man. From reading it i find a sense of size and tolerance, it seems the smaller people are all wrapped in war, and use his height and strength as a weapon. But it he hadn't said enough than the would have used him to take over all of the short people on both sides. Then later he travels and comes across the taller people. They are so at peace, they listened to all he had to tell about his home land then called them "... the most pernicious race of little odious vermin that nature ever suffered to craw upon the surface to the earth." then he tried to tell him the composition of gun powder and he was told he might want to keep that to himself. It was destructive and to them uncivilized. It made me think that the shorter you get the more destructive your nature. Like little mice just fighting for survival.
