=Welcome to your //Gulliver// and //Candide// wiki.=

=How you will use this wiki=

Right now, you're simply to use this space as a "group whiteboard" to gather ideas and quotations from //Gulliver's Travels// and //Candide//, and to brainstorm the similarities and differences, the strengths and weaknesses, and your overall interpretations of these two great Enlightenment satires.

=Stage 1: Pull as many quotations and ideas from your assigned //Candide// pages, and connect them to //Gulliver's Travels//.=

Create a link to your own page (first name, last initial, Candide page numbers) on the pages below. Then copy and paste these questions, and answer them: 1. What are the three biggest targets of Voltaire's satire in these pages? Discuss, and give evidence by quoting exact passages. 2. Does Swift, in //Gulliver's Travels,// attack any of the targets you identified in question 1? Find passages from Swift's book as evidence. Then write a paragraph for each one, and discuss the similarities and/or differences. 3. Write from each of the starred roles in our literature circles, and discuss your section from each point of view.
