Gulliver’s Fifth Voyage

I had been immobile for practically in any case foresighted and I was yearning to beget a nonher great voyage when I resolved that I would go collectible west to investigate the civilisation that dwelled in that location. It was mid-summer and my beam was to set out from Dover. I boarded the station and was greeted by an old man, with a passel and crooked nose, accompanied by a scar from go past wing ear to left eye. This, I assumed was my captain. I had been tout ensemble worn out by my long journey and inquired where my quarters would be, and the captain moro take upred to face me himself.As we went below decks, on that point was little light, further I could still view where I was going. The captain went to a gate that opened into a rather a gigantic cabin, with a bunk on the promote most(prenominal) wall, and a mahogany desk be nerve the door. With that, the captain left saying, I hope e rattlingthing is to your satisfaction, sir, and that you confine a pleasant rebrinyder. This was the last I precept of the man. When I awoke the next morning, as I was approximately to take a qualifying along the coastline, I could see a sheet of bags scattered for miles with the words Walkers, Tayto printed on them and round cans with Coca Cola wrote on it.I had never seen anything ilk this before it essential bring in been a way for the lot who lived here to make it to a greater extent ornamental looking. Although I could see heap in the outer space pointing and shaking their head, theses heap essential have thought different. All I could see around me was a peck of round towering buildings, with thick, b want tidy sum belting out of them and great deal spit out vigorously. It must have been their way morose appreciating these works of art. I was aroused from my wish by a robust, commanding voice, which was barking at me, Who the hell ar you?And where the hell are you from? I turned and saw that I was surrounded by a conc lave of men, dressed in green garments, all(prenominal) holding a form of musket in their arms. I told the man who had barked at me that I was travelling the world and making journals on my findings. I told him that I would desire to research his res publica further. He agreed to memorialise me around parts of the country, as oftentimes as he could. He introduced himself to be upchuck Kenwood. As we moved further into the city, I matte up more than and more alienated as every unitary stopped and stared at me.I felt depressed, as there was not a single approximatelybody there like me. But then we came to this dark, dull street, quite unlike the rest of the city. As we walked on all I could see were people covered in filth, with their hands out, begging for feed or money. I was astonished as people were actually giving them it. It was so desirous as these people were getting food for nothing, such an ingenious idea. I asked splatter why these people were living like thi s, and was told that the judicature has not the money to do anything for these people but instead they necessitate the it for the war effort.This seemed an excellent way to fall out the money. We walked on for another mile or so, when I was startled by spue yelling and pointing at what seemed to me like a tent with huge poles pushing out from the top of it. I asked what this monstrosity was and was given up the reply that it was the Millennium Dome. I could see there was another one off those homeless people being dragged away. You wouldnt gestate it, but it plainly cost i800million to build. It was a way for the people to celebrate the revolutionary ground Millennium. Firstly I was shocked in addition that it only cost i800million.He explained to me that its main function was only to bring in the New Year and that after that it is nigh useless. Wow, i800million on a building that is only intentional for one nights entertainment, it must have been some night. Then it str uck me. He said Millennium and when I asked about this he replied, You love, the year 2000. I was greatly queasy by this, as I still believed it to be the 18th Century. When I had overcome the slight illness I began to feel, Pat offered to take me to a spotlight called a Cafi where we would get a crispen of tea.Pat explained to me that this was no ordinary, but an profits Cafi. I was interested by these new contraptions called Computers I think. According to Pat they where designed to make books a thing of the past. I asked him to show me how to operate one, he reach me a book saying Heres the manual, drive it, and youll know what to do The book was quite heavy, yet colourful, but it was confusing to me as it mentioned things like keyboards and modems and I had no what these things where. What intelligence, innovation some thing to do away with books, yet you need to read a book to know how to work the thing.These people were even more disturbing than those from the democ racy of Lilliput. As we left the Cafi we erect it punishing to cross as there were so many mechanical machines known as cars moving up and down at intense speeds. I thought it unique that these machines dont knock down people but Pat corrected me by stating that people do get knocked down by these all the measure, but only xxiv have died this year. This seemed a small impairment to pay for such marvellous intent but out off know where we perceive a loud thumping and people screaming.There was somebody deception on the ground face-up, all spread over and twisted. A car moved of very fast and it had loud music sexual climax out of it with young people bound up and down with bottles in their hands. This looked like good fun and wished I could relate in. At this point I told Pat farewell and thanked him for all he had done. As I walked further in to the city, I was confronted by another group of men, this time dressed in black. I too noticed that they carried similar musk ets to Pat and his gang. champion of them asked Why were you talking to that traitor? I hen had to explain that I was an explorer investigating their country. This seemed to interest them and their leader verbalise You had better listen to our side of the chronicle as well. I agreed to this, as I did not want to have the appearance _or_ semblance biased, but to be fair I no longer felt affright by this group of men and felt I could relax while I listened to their story. But, as I began to sit, they dragged me up and told me it was not safe here and that we would have to go to their safe house, called Dubnil. He introduced himself as Peter.He told me how a distant power had invaded his country and that their government discriminated against the natives in favour of colonists. The natives decided to start a rebellion in order to fight for the rights, and their freedom. This made the foreign government introduce a plan called ethnic cleansing to eliminate the natives. This dis gusted me as I had always associated cleansing as something that was pure and glorious, yet this brutal government used it to describe the most hatred thing that I had ever heard of. This foreign government shocked me more than the viciousness of the leader in Lilliput.They describe murder as cleansing which disturbed me so much that I was rapturous I never lived here and that no(prenominal) of my countrys great leaders never acted in any manner that could be compared to the oppressors of this God-forsaken country. From the distance I could see this mobile shank I asked Pete what this was. He told me that it was a heavy weapon of mass destruction called a nuclear bomb. I asked what this all meant and he replied, death, mutation, the end, storms, blackouts, cancer, tidal waves, flooding, drowning.I was greatly impressed by this weapon, as the weapons of my time could only kill one at a time. Pete offered to give me a view of the city and helped me scramble up a mountain of rubbl e. He hand me a pair of strange eyeglasses that enabled me to see further. I could see the full city, demolished to rubble, and I could see quintette tanks patrolling the city. Adam said, We love our country so much, we started blowing up this city to fight for our freedom. This was the most intelligent and sophisticated scheme I ever came across.I had become so caught up in my thoughts that I disconnected my concentration and slipped and rolled down the side of the mountain of rubble, crashing to the ground, which knocked me out cold. When I awoke I was on a bed in a long white corridor, which had quite a compelling smell of some chemicals or something. I sat up in the bed and before me was a woman in white alike with a white hat. She apologised to me because there was a shortage of staff due to lack of government funding. I asked her what affect does this have on them and she replied, disease, sick, suffering, heartache, failure, frustration, misery, depressing.Still, it se emed to make more reek if it was spent on things that made you beaming like the Millennium Dome. I found myself drifting off into a deep sleep as the nurse injected something into my arm, it felt relaxing and before you know it I was at the Dover coast with no suspicion of how I got there. I found my expedition to be the most evoke Ive ever been on as there were some great inventions such as nuclear bombs and magnificent structures such as the Millennium Dome. I am in spades going to come back currently as there is so much more to learn about this wonderful place again.
