By being such a easy-going captive they decide to give him his freedom as long as he signs the Lilliputians agreement. The agreement pretty much states that he shouldn't kill Lilliputians or destroy their things. He must also be on their side in the the war against Blefuscu. He agrees to this but doesn't think he should be involved in a foreign war which started over what side to crack and egg. No joke! Thats what these two peoples are fighting over. But since he has agreed he must fight against them. So, he takes the Blefuscusians ships that were about to attack Lilliput and bring them to the Emperor of Lilliput. Which pretty much seems to end the war between them. Gulliver finds that the Blefuscusians aren't really that bed as the Lilliputians say, which isn't any surprise.
The war started over what side to crack an egg on? That's the worst reason to start a war! How did he prevent the fatal accidents with a hankerchief?
ReplyDeleteHow is it that two civilizations would start a war over something so small as cracking an egg? sometimes people just have those dumb moments.
ReplyDeleteAh discrimination, human nature seems to always be itching for a fight. It is ironic that what started the war was an egg but when you are that small, it probably is a big deal.
ReplyDeleteGenerally speaking, wars are started over really stupid things. As for the Blefuscusians not being so bad, enemies tend to think the worst of the other, even if its undeserved.
ReplyDeleteLol. Can you imagine geting caught up in something like this? I think i'd laugh my head off at the argument and they'd kick me off their little island for being a public disturbance! XD An egg?
ReplyDeleteHas anyone else seen the cartoon craze version of this movie. Ya know, that really old animated one with Gabby in it. I never really cared for Gabby, but I still liked the movie growing up.
