Today's class we learned Gulliver's Travels. I remember reading it when I was little, but I couln'e remember the context clearly somehow(maybe it was because I was very young when I  read the story) so it was like listening to the whole story again.

of course I didn't know Galliver's Travels was a satirical story about human flaws; In fact I didn't even remember Gulliver hates his yahoo family and turn his love to the two hourse he bought. (that's kinda funny~)  another new word to learn: misanthropy (which means general dislike of human beings).

A modest proposal is another satiric prose of Swift's; I remember reading it while I was a freshman. The idea of eating children as delicacy is horrible when I first read it. But as soon as you becomes use to the idea , the prose was actually a very goos work worth reading.  it uses lot of metaphors in the story and make it more fun to read.
