Geography

I find it interesting how Swift uses geography to help describe the situation that Gulliver is in. So far, Swift has eagerly described the whereabouts of each place that Gulliver has been. He talked about the terrain, the climate, and where Gulliver thinks it is located on Earth. Swift must be using this to portray imagery so that the reader can understand more easily what Gulliver thinks of each city. He could also be describing it because he wants the reader to know that he likes the hospitality he has received in these places. So if the reader just so happened to stumble upon Laputa, Lilliput and/or Brobdingnag during their own travels that they would know that it is Laputa, Lilliput and/or Brobdingnag due to the hospitality.
