Time Passing

The way Swift deals with time is interesting, because it is a fiction novel that he is structuring like a nautical journal. At the beginning of the new Part, he passes several months in a matter of a page, leading to his next adventure- and on his travels, one day can be a chapter or more. I think his style of representing time passing is easy to the reader, because we don't have to wade through pointless chapters of information unimportant to the plot. He essentially skips over the boring stuff in summaries and gets to the excursions into lands of fantasy. This is partially to show that life at home is dry and lethargic, and also just to help give us the flesh of the story and leaving out unnecessary parts.
