So, I didn't want to start my first blog with a spoiler, which is why in THIS spoiling blog, I'll tell about part one and part two.
In part one, Gulliver is washed up on a strange island that he never before would have encountered had the ship he'd been sailing on not sunk. Gulliver is exhausted when he finally reaches land, and he falls asleep on the shore. When he wakes up, he notices that he has been tied down by 6 inch people called Lilliputians. After many different occurrences (including his saving the queen of Lilliputians by urinating on her flaming palace), Gulliver finds a normal sized boat that he takes to the middle of the ocean, where he is found by a barge.
In part two, Gulliver sets out on voyage again, and this time finds himself on an island inhabited by giants. That's as far as I read, so I can't give any more away.

I'm reading Gulliver's Travels...
So. Here I am, blogging after all, despite many technical problems, all of which were solved by Mindy, and if she's reading this blog she'll be saying something like, this kid is using too many commas. So what if I am? Isn't the beauty of blogging not being grammatically correct at all??? Thanks a lot, Mindy!!!
I think I'm getting off topic. So. I'm umm reading Gulliver's travels, and despite the fact that it is an interesting, fantastical adventure (the kind of book I like to read) it happens to have been written in the 18th century, which is why the author always says "hath" and stuff.
But despite the fact this is a really old book, it still gets my attention and doesn't make me bored. (Blink, the book I 1/4 read before this book made me really bored.)
But other than the fact that it's written in the 18th century, I'm not gonna give anything away so my final blog is unique. And plus, I asked Mindy how much we should blog and she said to do a couple of little blogs while reading, and to do a big one at the end. So... that's that.
P.S. If you want to know what the picture on my profile is, you'll have to either ask me by blog or in person.
