Guliver's Travels

In the novel Guliver's Travels There are things that are meant for a purpose in life and those that are there for no actual reason. When Guliver comes to the island with 6 inch people he realizes that he has entered a world were people want to be the best. the Empror wants Guliver to help him take out his enemy's. During this time England and France were in a fight about power. England as the bigger countrty was able to over power the poor people of Scotland. Jonathan Swift is making fun of the idea that power means everything but really we are all equal and we have control over our own lives.
