Gulliver’s Travel Part 3

Gulliver has only been in England for 10 days before he decides to journey off again. He sets off for the West Indies. While on this journey Gulliver is abducted and sent off only with a small portion of food. After being at sea he notices something blocking the sun. It is a floating island which is Luputa. As usual he doesn’t understand the language that the people speak. They use mostly math and symbols to communicate. Gulliver didn’t like it here so then went to Legato. While here Gulliver finds a man who tells him about an academy where new theories and practices are being developed. After leaving Legato he ends up at Glubbdubdrib. Here they were known for calling upon spirits and Gulliver used his special ability to reveal the truth about people in his past. Gulliver then finds his way back to his original home.

Swift uses satire in part 3 showing how people thought just because they knew math and science that they were better than and smarter than most people. This of course proves to be wrong. These people tried to rely on science and math for the answers for everything. Another thing he pointed out was the Royal Society. It seemed like every scientist that had a say so in anything was apart of this organization.
