Chapter 1, Part 6 Summary

Gulliver goes off to talk about the customs and practices of Lilliput more in detail. The Lilliputian's eyesight are adapted to the size, the animals, trees, and plants, etc. The Lilliputians are very well educated but the writing system seems off to Gulliver. The dead is buried with their heads down, as the Lilliputians believe that the dead will eventually rise on the earth again. Also, the children are not raised by individual parents, but by the kingdom. They are sent from home to live in schools and only see their parents twice a year.
