In the second excerpt, gulliver observes the emperor of the lilliputians (who represents king george i) and those of his court who seek his favor. flimnap, the treasurer, represents the famous whig statesman, sir robert walpole, who was head of the government from 1715 to 1717 and from 1721 to 1742. both individuals are satirized. yet swift also satirized types of people in his account of rope dancing. what type of person do you think is satirized? the type of person who would dictate to others the type of person who would do anything to gain political power the type of person who would do anything for money

Swift is satirizing the type of person who would do anything to gain political power.

Satire is a genre of literature that consists in humour and irony that is used to criticize someone or a group of people. This excerpt shows that Flimnap, the Treasurer, is seeking the Emperor's favor and that is what the passage is satirizing: people who are willing to do anything to pursuit their biggest ambition, such as gaining more political power. At the same time, the Emperor of Lilliput is conscious of his political power. He even chooses his ministers for their abilities to wear a tightrope and not for their skills to become leaders. That is the way in which Swift satirizes the Emperor.

i do not know what the passage is but i can give some examples

1. repetitive phrases may be used to create a emphasizing tone

2. pauses in sentences are used to create a dramatic effect but can also be suspenseful

3. using lots of exclamation marks and loud speech such as words in all caps can be creating a excited or possibly angry tone.

4. using lots of questioning phrases my mean that they are in suspicion of something.

5. using lots of questionable statements or questions can imply of a sneeky or sly tone.
