his mother was a washer woman for wealthy people.In his fairy tales you will find lots of themes showing the differences between the poor and the rich.You will also find the occasional shoemaker.Even as a kid he always loved the arts,and he left home when he was 14 to make his fortune.He was anHans Christian Andersonartist,a singer and an actor but he was not a success as a star.He grew even poorer and almost died of hunger.He received some money and could afford to continue his education thanks to the person who supported the arts,the director of the royal theater.He went to the university in Copenhagen and began his writing.Here are some of Andersons works:The Emperors New Clothes An emperor hires two tailors who promise to make him a set of remarkable new clothes that will be invisible to anyone who is either incompetent or stupid.When the emperor goes to see his new clothes,he sees nothing at all for the tailors are swindlers and there arent any clothes.Afraid of being judged incompetent or stupid,the emperor pretends to be delighted with the new clothes and“wears”them in a grandparade through the town.Everyone else also pretends to see them,until a child yells out,“He hasnt got any clothes on!”People who point out the emptiness of the pretensions of powerful people and institutions are often compared to the child who says that the emperor has no clothes.The Ugly Duckling The mothers first thought,seeing the odd one in the water,is He is my own child,and he is not so very ugly after all if you look at him properly.The duckling begins in the farmyard with his family,always the last one to get anything,and always taunted and attacked for his looks,then escapes to the moor among wild ducks,witnesses the carnage among wild geese in the hunting season,escapes from becoming an old womans pet and is all but frozen into the ice.In the spring,theduckling discovers,from seeing his reflection,that he has grown up to be a beautiful swan the most beautiful of all birds.The Ugly Duckling has become a metaphor for anything neglected continually,or anything neglected at first,then becoming popular or good.For example:I cant believe Saras so accomplished now!She used to be such an ugly duckling.The Princess and the Pea A prince insists on marrying a real princess.When a woman comes to his door maintaining that she is a real princess,the princes mother tests her by burying a pea under a huge stack of mattresses and then ordering the woman to sleep on the mattresses.The woman cannot sleep and therefore passes the test:being a true princess,she is so delicate that the pea keeps her awake.Jonathan Swift was born in Dublin,Ireland,on November 30,1667.His childhood was in some ways unusual.As a year-old baby he was brought to England,while his mother remained in Ireland,and when he was brought back to Ireland a year or two later,his mother returned to England,leaving young Jonathan to be raised by his uncle Godwin Swift.Though his parents were poor,young Jonathan was giventhe best education that could be had in Ireland.At age 14 in 1682,young Jonathan entered Trinity College in Dublin.Graduating in 1685,when he was 18,Swift obtained his Bachelor of Arts degree.About the Author Gullivers TravelsLater he moved to England and started a career in the church.He also discovered his remarkable talent as a satirist and began to write on themes that would stay with him throughout his lifetime corruption,religion,and education.He became active in politics and was a supporter of the Irish resistance to English oppression while still being a devoted member of the Anglican church.He wrote his masterpiece,Gullivers Travels,in 1726.When he died in 1745 at the age of 78 he composed his own epitaph for his gravestone which reads:“He has gone where savage indignation can lacerate his heart no more.”Gulliver in the book goes to sea and time and again gets involved in finding himself in strange lands when his ship sinks or some other tragedy befalls him.The first country is that of the Lilliputians who are only about six inches high.The people he encounters are always very different than he is.Swift uses this as a way of exposing to ridicule and satire the stupidities of our society.About the Novel Global Reading2.True or False 1.Part Division of the Text3.Further UnderstandingFor Part 1 Table
