Could you please checke my summaries? Thank you.
1)At the beginning of the passage, taken from Chapter 11 of Swift’s Gulliver’s travels, the Houyhnhnms are described as strong, beautiful, wise and fast horses full of virtues and intelligence.
2) Gulliver never refers to them as animals or horses but as his “master”, his friends and amiable persons. Gulliver admits the only valuable things are those he has learned from his master.
3) He confesses he is prouder to listen to them than to speak in front of the greatest and wisest assembly. He goes on to say that at the beginning he wasn’t in awe of them as all the other animals were.
