Gullivars Travels

                               Where would you go if you lived on a "Floating island"


If I lived on a floating island and go anywhere, I would go every where. I would explore the world on my floating island. A couple months near the artic to see the polar bears and then go up to the Caribbean and enjoy the sun.  Afterward maybe go to U.S or maybe a European nation just because I felt like.

Gulliver's Travels

How would have you reacted to being attacked by the monkey ..................


If I had been in Gullivar's sitiution and gotten attacked by a monkey about the size of an elephant, I would have reacted the way Gullivar thinks he should have. I would have drew my sword as soon as I saw it. As soon as it showed a instance it my grab me I would stabbed it not kill but to give it a warning to stay away.

Gulliver's travels

How would you react to being shown around like a toy for show......


Like Gullivar i would have gone along with it. Unless they were threating my life I would only do shows on my terms. Just so I could have some control in place where I'm almost a prisoner (the people are giants). If at there end of my tour they promised the freedom to leave at the end of my tour I would do it without conplant and not caring about my fatigue.

Gulliver's Travels

If you were Gullliver's situation when he was running from his ''reapers'' what would have you done.....


If I was in that situation I would have reacted similar. As he did, I would have run away from them but I would have been looking for some kind of hiding spot or any sign of human civilization. Once I realized there was no getting away, I would have prayed that if they were to kill me it would be quick and painless. I would have also tried to signal to them that I was peaceful and would do them no harm by saying I was simply lost.

Gulliver's Travels

 How would have you reacted to Gullivar's presents he got from Lilliput.......

I would have astonished at Gulivar's findings. Him pulling the miniture cows and sheep out his pocket would have floored me. I would been asking questions like what happened, why are they so small, and where did you get these things. When he showed me the gold, that would have been it for me. I would walked home in disbelief packed my things and went on my on journey to Lilliput.

Gulliver's travels

                             Guliver's Travels

What must have it been like to be a citizen of Lilliput when Guliver washed on shore? 


If i was a citizen of Lilliput and all of sudden this living thing washes up on our shore, I would have at first been skeptical. I would be curious to see what exactly this thing was but wouldn't have approached it not knowing what it was capable of. Then once I figured out the thing was a human and not trying to killor harm us at least for now I would have gone along with the rest of the people and treated him like a guest or visitor.

TLOM

                   Describe the author's style......


James Cooper style is different from books from other authors that I've read. Copper uses an extravagant amount imagery and detail when righting about the setting and atmosphere. He also uses imagery when describe a characters actions in the book. Like Mirjam Pressler did in my previous book Cooper uses small editors notes to give further information on a word or statement.

TLOM

        What some things the author uses to help you visualize the story? Provide examples.


James Feinmore Cooper uses lots of figurative language mostly imagery to describe what's happening in the story and its atmosphere. Examples of this occur at the beginning of chapter 6 "At the farther extremity of a narrow, deep cavern in the rock", "The strong glare of the fire fell upon his sturdy", and " weatherbeaten countenance and forest attire".

The Last of the Mohicans

                                                          New Book!! The Last of the Mohicans


Tell the setting of the story, How would the mood change if the story was different....

 The story is located in the New World (as Europeans called it) or as some called in America. Currently the characters are roam through the forest which adds to the story's danger and suspense since the possibilty since the story is taking place during the French-Indian War.

What did you know from prior knowledge about your book's topic......

I knew from prior studies on the French-Indian War that the War known by some as the Seven Years' War was I conflict between the British and French involving Native tribes over territory in the New World
