Briefly discuss why Jonathan Swift is a master satirist based on his greatest novel Gulliver’s Travels.
A. This book deals with one particular voyage in which Gulliver meets with some adventures on remote islands. The first part tells about his experience in Lilliput where the inhabitants are six inches tall， twelve times smaller than the normal people and all the things they have or say or do are miniatures of what is in the real world. （2分）B.In the second part， Gulliver is left alone in Brobdingnag where people are not only ten times taller and larger than ordinary people， but superior in wisdom. （1分）C.The third part deals with his visit to the Flying Island， where the philosophers and projectors devote their time and energy to the study of absurd problems. （2分）D.The last part is an interesting account of his discoveries in the Houyhnhnm land， where horses are endowed with reason and all good and qualities， and are the governing class. There he is shocked and disgusted to meet the Yahoos who resemble human beings not only in appearance but also in almost every other way. （3 分）E.The book is one of the effective and devastating criticisms and satires of all aspects in the English and European life—socially， politically， religiously， philosophically， scientifically， and morally. Its social significance is great and its exploration into human nature profound. （2分）
