Question

Why did the captain send the men to the land?

Answer 1

Hint: This narrative is based on the well-known ‘Gulliver's Travels.' Gulliver embarks on four separate journeys in all. This excerpt is about his second journey, during which he encounters the massive, humanoid Brobdingnagians.

Complete answer:
Gulliver and his friends arrive in the country of Brobdingnag on their maritime trip. A handful of them go on an island to search for water. They were unable to locate any water, though. The friends were suddenly pursued by a massive monster. When Gulliver first encounters the locals, he assumes they're all monsters. In addition, he gets discovered by around seven more creatures.

On their voyage by sea, Harry and his companions arrive in Brobdingnag. A small group of them sets out to an island in quest of water. However, they were unable to discover any water. A huge creature immediately followed the guys. Gulliver believes the villagers are all monsters when he first meets them. He is also discovered by a total of seven other animals.

Gulliver believes they are monsters, so he is terrified and screams loudly. Unexpectedly, the people he deemed monsters were surprisingly friendly to him. He is picked up and dropped on the ground by one of the giants.

Gulliver is grabbed by the farmer's one-year-old son, who tries to devour him. Gulliver screams so loudly that the infant drops him, but he is caught by the farmer's wife. She tucks Gulliver into bed and covers him with a handkerchief, demonstrating their kindness.

Thus, in quest of water, the commander sent his men to the land.

Note: Gulliver's Travels' main topic is the inherent amusement of human history and habit, as well as the relative nature of morality and society depending on historical precedent. Gulliver's Travels, like so many of Jonathan Swift's writings, is primarily a parody of British aristocracy and Imperialism.
