Gulliver's Travels: Large Print

Gulliver's Travels: Large Print

By Jonathan Swift

Luke Cummins

Have you sailed around the world? How about stepped somewhere no one else has. Ok, you've most likely touched a place no one else has, just by walking in the woods. But have you experienced being among strange animals and people not known to our existence? Probably not, unless you've seen aliens on Mars. The book “Gulliver's Travels” by an Englishman of the name Jonathan Swift was first published in 1726. Swift died in 1745, never realizing his work would be so influential and widely spread throughout the world. Overall I thought this was an amazing and fascinating tale. I would rate this book a four out of five stars. The only reason it is not five out of five stars is because the wording is at times confusing. The genre of these fascinating tales are fantasy. In my summary you won't have to worry about me giving away the ending as there is no actual ending but a series of four travels. The first account occurs when Gulliver gets shipwrecked alone and washes upon the shores of Lilliput. An army of Lilliputans who are around six inches tall, quickly tie him to the ground. I would keep explaining the hostilities thrown upon Gulliver's but I don't want to overwhelm the reader with details. Gulliver's gets taken to the emperor who quickly bonds with Gulliver. The name of the emperor is unknown. Gulliver spends almost a year on Liliput and he has many friends but he has also made serious enemies. After the rumor of blinding Gulliver and starving him was passed on to the Emperor, he almost immediately told Gulliver. Gulliver made a ship and sailed away. Gulliver's second adventure brings him to a land ruled by giants. Gulliver is initially found by farmers but later sold to the king. Gulliver is in danger almost everywhere he goes. One day while in his box an eagle picks Gulliver's box up and drops it with him in it into the ocean while being attacked by other Eagles. He is later found by a normal sized ship. The captain takes care of him but thinks Gulliver is crooked because some princes put men in a home in the water that slowly sinks. Gulliver's third travel takes place on a flying island with the most peculiar of people, who are so busy thinking they have servants who touch their mouths, eyes, and nose so they listen when spoken to, talk, and look where they're going. Because of this, Gulliver soon leaves the island and is brought upon a professor who talks about what government is like on their country. The fourth journey is a surprise that you'll only know if you read the book. This book also has a movie for those of you who are too lazy to read this book. I would suggest this book to boys and girls in seventh grade and up, no one lower unless this is explained to you and you understand what's happening. I also suggest this book to people who like government, or stories set in the past, also if you like to read about travelers. Again I rate this book a four out of five stars because of the fascinating tales told. I only took of a star because the wording can be confusing.

Taylor Swift: The Story of Me

Taylor Swift: The Story of Me

By Molly Hodgin, Riley Brooks

I rated this book a 3 star rating because I feel like it still didn't really tell her story like a biography would. I still have to give this book some credit because if I din't know who Taylor was I would probably really like this book. I would still recommend it though.

The Shakespeare Stealer

The Shakespeare Stealer

By Gary Blackwood, Stephen Alcorn

Widge has the rare ability of being able to write shorthand, and when is bought by a mysterious master, Widge is given a dangerous task: steal a play from Shakespeare himself, or else. But when he starts to make friends with the crew, Widge realizes that he can't not do it and now he must craft a plan to save himself. I would recommend this for ages 10+ I read this book for homework but it was better than I expected! I would definetely recommend this. Widge's personality is well crafted and the setting is well placed. The pace is excellent and this is probably the best homework book I ever read.

Awesome book. It is awesome and cool. It is about Michaela DePrince was known as girl Number 27 at the orphanage, where she was abandoned at a young age and tormented as a “devil child” for a skin condition that makes her skin appear spotted. But it was at the orphanage that Michaela would find a picture of a beautiful ballerina en pointe that would help change the course of her life. At the age of four, Michaela was adopted by an American family, who encouraged her love of dancing and enrolled her in classes.

She has appeared in the ballet documentary First Position, as well as on Dancing with the Stars, Good Morning America, and Nightline. In this engaging, moving, and unforgettable memoir, Michaela shares her dramatic journey from an orphan in West Africa to becoming one of ballet’s most exciting rising stars.
