Ihad, as i before observed, one private pocket, which escaped their search, wherein there was a pair of spectacles (which i sometimes use for the weakness of my eyes) a pocket perspective, and some other little conveniences; which, being of no consequence to the emperor, i did not think myself bound in honor to discover, and i apprehended they might be lost or spoiled if i ventured them out of my possession. asap ! what evidence from the passage above suggests that gulliver may have hidden motives for writing the travel narrative? gulliver cannot see without his spectacles. a person who has private pockets cannot be trusted. pocket perspectives are never required when interacting with another culture group. gulliver is keeping information from the lilliputians.
