Ngulliver's travels by jonathan swift, what evidence is there that swift does not want readers to take the dispute between big-endians and the little-endians seriously? the fact that the lilliputians are so small tells us how insignificant they will be. the fact that he picked something as silly as breaking eggs shows that swift does not expect the reader to take the dispute seriously. that two religions would be formed because of a monarch's family issues cannot be taken seriously. the difference in size between gulliver and the lilliputians makes light of the idea that such differences can be overcome.

The answer is the fact that he picked breaking eggs

It is supposed to symbolize how European disputes are dumb and pointless too

the correct answer is the fact that he picked something as silly as breaking eggs shows that Swift does not expect the reader to take the dispute seriously.

Explanation: Jonathan Swift wrote Gulliver's Travels "to vex the world rather than divert it".  To vex means to annoy and to divert means to amuse. In that part he is exposing a kind of satire of society.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
