jonathan swift preparation work

Some questions that i think that are important:
1. Why did swift use irony to explain how he feels
2. what does the size of gulliver mean to us?
3. Why does swift make the people so mean to gulliver?
4. Why is gulliver so nice and calm to them?
Some of the things that i wanted to discuss with my classmates was the way swift showed gulliver as being a prisoner to the lilliput people. I think that it means something important the way they made people look at him as he was something like a danger for their community.
I think that many students found this story very hard because of the different types of language he uses and because of the ancient english, or anyway i found it hard and i think that have a vocabulary near you while you read can help, or maybe someone that knows the meaning of ancient english words.
