Swifts Gulliver's Travels have used the word
extraneous more then once. Swift was viewed as an
insane person who was a failure in life. But this
is far from the truth. Swift wrote Gulliver's
Travels, a book that has been assigned to students
for years, and it is written from experience.
Swifts experience with the Tories and their
conflicts with the Whigs caused him to write books
that mock religious beliefs, government, or people
with views differi...

responsibility is to visualize an enactment that
remains true to the original work? s perception.
