//Gulliver's Travels// By: Jonathon Swift Chapter I. Lemuel Gulliver, the narrator of the story, starts by stating that he grew up in Nottinghamshire and that he was the third oldest of five sons. He continues by talking about his education and how he acquired much experience as a surgeon by traveling on many different voyages. While on a voyage to the East Indies, the //Antelope,// the ship on which Gulliver was a surgeon, hit a violent storm which forced their ship into a rock. Many on the ship did not survive or got lost at sea, but Gulliver followed the tide and swam until he reached land. When he reaches dry land he feels famished and weary from his long swim; Gulliver falls asleep for around nine hours and when he awakens, he finds himself securely tied down to the ground. As he looks around he finds a mass amount of people, only six inches tall and very intelligent, who are very well armed. Eventually Gulliver is untied and is only restricted to a chain. He is able to wonder within the boundaries of the chain and is treated with respect and hospitality, though the Lilliputians are not sure whether or not to fear them.

Chapter II. In this chapter Gulliver is testing his boundaries. He has just gotten the freedom to roam around with only a chain to restrain him. It talks about him having servants to clean up after him, and keep an eye on him. He has been searched and all his weapons have been removed. The Lilliputians start to trust him, giving him food and hiring tailors for to make him clothing. They eventually start to give him more comforts like a bed, but deny him complete freedom because they are afraid of the economic issues that may result from keeping him healthy and alive.

Chapter III. The Emperor and Gulliver have slowly been building a relationship and this causes Gulliver to ask for his freedom daily, figuring he can be trusted by now. He has been jumping through the Emperor's hoops and in return he is having the opportunity to see plays and the Rope-Dancers, who were a huge form of entertainment within their community. The Lilliputians found Gulliver's hat, and at the Emperor's request, Gulliver posed as a statue for the army to march around. After this Gulliver was granted his freedom, but out of respect for the Lilliputians, decided to remain in their land.
