Here Today, Gone Tomorrow

        I find it weird that after each adventure, Gulliver will return home to England for a short amount of time. After he gets restless at home, he then will embark for another adventure. After his encounter with the Lilliputians, Gulliver returned home for only two months until he set sail for the Cape of Good Hope in Madagascar when again, he was battled with another monsoon storm. After returning from the land of little people, he was home for only ten days until he sets out again, this time for the West Indies. I just find this repetition that Swift has made very odd. Gulliver has an adventure, goes home, adventure, goes home, and then another adventure.
