one of the most interesting questions about gullivers travels is whether the houyhnhnms represent an ideal of rationality or whether on the other hand they are the butt of swift's satire. in other words, in book iv, is swift poking fun at the talking horses or does he intend for us to take them seriously as the proper way to act? if we look closely at the way that the houyhnhnms act, we can see that in fact swift does not take them seriously: he uses them to show the dangers of pride.
first we have to see that swift does not even take gullver seriously. for instance, his name sounds much like gullible, which suggests that he will believe anything. also, when he first sees the yahoos and they throw excrement on him, he responds by doing the same in return until they run away. he says, "i must needs discover some more rational being," even though as a human he is already the most rational being there is. this is why swift refers to erasmus darwins discovery of the origin of the species and the voyage of the beagle-to show how gulliver knows that people are at the top of the food chain. but if lemule gulliver is satirized, so are the houyhnhnms, whose voices sound like the call of castrati. they walk on two legs instead of four, and seem to be much like people. as gulliver says, "it was with the utmost astonishment that i witnessed these creatures playing the flute and dancing a vienese waltz. to my mind, they seemed like the greatest humans ever seen in court, even more dextrous than the lord edmund burke" . as this quote demonstrates, gulliver is terribly impressed, but his admiration for the houyhnhnms is short-lived because they are so prideful. for instance, the leader of the houyhnhnms claims that he has read all the works of charles dickens, and that he can singlehandedly recite the names of all the kings and queens of england up to george ii. swift subtly shows that this houyhnhnms pride is misplaced when, in the middle of the intellectual competition, he forgets the name of queen elizabeths husband.
swifts satire of the houyhnhnms comes out in other ways as well. one of the most memorable scenes is when the dapple grey mare attempts to woo the horse that guenivre has brought with him to the island. first she acts flirtatiously, parading around the bewildered horse. but when this does not have the desired effect, she gets another idea: "as i watched in amazement from my perch in the top of a tree, the sorrel nag dashed off and returned with a yahoo on her back who was yet more monstrous than mr. pope being fitted by a clothier. she dropped this creature before my nag as if offering up a sacrifice. my horse sniffed the creature and turned away." it might seem that we should take this scene seriously as a failed attempt at courtship, and that consequently we should see the grey mare as an unrequited lover. but it makes more sense if we see that swift is being satiric here: it is the female houyhnhnm who makes the move, which would not have happened in eighteenth-century england. the houyhnhm is being prideful, and it is that pride that makes him unable to impress gullivers horse. gulliver imagines the horse saying, sblood, the notion of creating the bare backed beast with an animal who had held mr. pope on her back makes me queezy .
a final indication that the houyhnmns are not meant to be taken seriously occurs when the leader of the houynhms visits lilliput, where he visits the french royal society. he goes into a room in which a scientist is trying to turn wine into water (itself a prideful act that refers to the marriage at gallilee. the scientist has been working hard at the experiment for many years without success, when the houyhnmn arrives and immediately knows that to do: "the creature no sooner stepped through the doorway than he struck upon a plan. slurping up all the wine in sight, he quickly made water in a bucket that sat near the door" .

Reading and writing are the process of drawing and inputting, while the other is the process of releasing and outputting. Read a book, after the author and a soulful dialogue, through the way of writing to record their own reading, communicate and exchange with the author and more people to sort out their own thinking, is a matter of great significance.
To write a good book, you must first read a Book carefully. If you do not read carefully and do not read through the whole work, it is very difficult to grasp the author's writing intention and the subtleties of the work as a whole.
Mr. Zhao Lihong is a famous writer, has many works in Chinese textbooks, in the field of education and the community have high visibility. For the sake of the same party, I had the honor of meeting him and receiving the books he gave to me from time to time. I can't live up to his kindness, Gesanchaiwu will read his book, write a book after reading notes. Think of yourself as a physics teacher, both literary conception and teacher Zhao still have a big gap, so write after reading notes put it in my blog, did not have the nerve to tell him. By chance, Mr. Zhao Lihong from the network search to my writing, very surprised, for my science teacher has given many awards, and mentioned on several occasions, so we are concerned about what I write.
Miss Zhao is love I write these, a very important reason is that I read his works, generally read what he wants, and the text will I understand that out, carried out a series of good communication and dialogue with him. We often say, "without investigation, there is no right to speak", this sentence is used in reading is also interlinked, and did not seriously read a book, it is impossible to write more appropriate reading notes.
Reading notes there are three main forms: reading notes and book reviews, respectively.
A book review is often a judgment of the value of a book. To say this book merits or defects, which is a sort of author of values, but also readers will interact with their own value judgment and the author's point of view, to find the meeting point of the process. Relatively speaking, book readers need to have their own certain reading horizons, read some of the same type of books, the author and his writing intention have a certain understanding, can stand on a higher level to look at this book.
The book has three basic functions: one is to introduce the content of this book to other potential readers, arouse their interest in reading; two is the type of this book defines, let everyone understand that this is a kind of work; three is the introduction. Introduce some of the deepest feelings in your book and guide others to pay attention to the relevant content while reading.
In terms of the types of book reviews, it can be generalized into the following three types: one is the introduction of nature books. This kind of book reviews are usually relatively short, and make a brief introduction to the basic situation of the book so that people can understand the basic information and core content of the book. Two, the book reviews of the evaluation category. For example, a novel, the first to introduce the story of the work, and then its characteristics, highlights, the main style, such as a summary, which will also involve some of the defects in the works of evaluation. The three is academic book reviews. On the basis of the above two kinds of book reviews, the author makes a further study from the theoretical point of view, and judges the value of the works from the perspectives of academic thought and academic status. This requires the author of the book review to have a solid academic foundation.
In comparison, the writing is free. If the target audience is people's intention of writing is to recommend a book to others, attracting everyone up and read the words on the target audience is itself, is in the process of reading a book in some aspects, especially feelings, then there is a sense of hair. It was not necessary to judge the value of the whole book, as long as there is a feeling in some ways, you can feel, write their own experiences to.
If the basic function is the review content introduction, definition and types of works of reading, reading is the basic function of recording experience, elaborated understanding, seeking meaning. The process of reading, there is always some place to touch their own, while reading their own feelings and experiences recorded, the first step is to write the book. We often have experiences like this: a good idea in the reading process, because it is not recorded in time, and will not be returned after a few days. It is important to keep track of new feelings in a timely manner. After reading the whole work and go back to record these feelings, will find some can be combined together to illustrate a point from different angles, help yourself to further understand the work; if we can find a few points, will further highlight the significance of the work.
It is not necessary. A book, if there is a section of special interest to you, you can come out from this section, expound their own opinions and ideas; you can also take the book with his own interest and occupation related content is extracted, the content about their feelings, but not with to other areas. Of course, you can also comment on the whole book and express your views and opinions. It is more emphasis on theory and practice, so that works with their life closely,
Notes are also a common type of reading notes. In reading, to a certain words more interested in, and will record it, and accompanied by one or two words of their own feelings and experience, these contents accumulated, is the notes.
Compared with book reviews, book notes, more suitable for people just started to write reading notes for lianbi. Many people like to read books, but they just don't know how to write their reading notes. In the process of reading, encountered some better statements, it will be recorded directly. There must be a reason why you feel good about it, and these reasons do not have to be well written. Two or three words mean "yes". In this way, while recording, while writing their own intravenous drip, not tired at all, after reading the book, the written text will come out. I have seen a teacher in my reading "reading notes" is one of the best teachers practice books on the Internet, copious and fluent recording more than 10 feet, nearly the length of words. Although their own feelings are not many, in order to extract the words from the book as the main, but for this teacher, after reading the harvest will be much larger than others.
