ENG-2040 Chapter Notes - Chapter N/A: Lagado, University Of Belgrade, Caveman
Document Summary
Gulliver, we learn, is a very eccentric traveler, who we see exploring the great academy of lagado at the beginning of the excerpt. A man attempting to extract sunlight from cucumbers. The study of spiders and how they could potentially make clothes. A group of students abolishing spoken word, believing that talking wastes oxygen, and instead carry around a bunch of objects. A group of paint mixers who don"t use sight to distinguish colors but instead use smell and touch. After a period of time, gulliver gets back on his ship to leave lagado with his men who strike mutiny and kick him off of his own ship, replacing him with james welch. He is essentially left to die on a small inlet where he"s dropped off with basically nothing to his name, gaining energy to travel to a nearby island where he finds ground.
