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

<u>Satire is a genre of literature that consists in humour and irony that is used to criticize someone or a group of people.</u> This excerpt shows that Flimnap, the Treasurer, is seeking the Emperor's favor and that is what the passage is satirizing: <u>people who are willing to do anything to pursuit their biggest ambition, such as gaining more political power</u>. 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.

sveta [45]

Answer:

She lived in Keeler and later in Loomis, the difference is that in these places the family had to pay rent and share a part of the land with other people. In Mango street they paid no rent and had more privacy, as there was no need to share any part of the house with other families.
