On his subsequent voyage, Gulliver was stranded on an island where the inhabitants were giants compared to him. In the Land of Giants, he became part of a travelling show and was later bought by the Queen of Giants. He had a few dangerous encounters with giant animals but was well looked after by Glumdalclitch, the daughter of the first giant farmer who found him. Eventually, he managed to leave the island. If you had to make a choice of either being smaller or bigger than everyone else you knew, which would you choose to be and why? In groups of four, discuss and make your own choices. Then, write down your individual reasons under the heading “Bigger than” or “Smaller than”. Do this activity on a sheet of A4 paper. Next, as a group, look in The Star for a person (in the form of a picture or name) who, you think, should be bigger or smaller than everyone else. Cut it out and paste it on the same paper. Provide a reason for your collective choice.

A voyage of discovery
EVER since he was a young boy, Lemuel Gulliver always believed that he would sail across the seas. His dream came true when he joined Captain Prichard and his crew on a voyage. However, his ship crashed into rocks and he was washed up on the shores of an island called Lilliput. Its inhabitants were only about six inches tall. At first, Gulliver was made a prisoner but after he helped the kingdom fight against its Blefuscudian enemies, he was freed. Later, however, it was the Blefuscudians who helped him to build a boat and set sail again. Read the graphic novel Gulliver’s Travels by Jonathan Swift to find out what happened in the end.
