Gulliver’s Travels is still relevant today because it presents a variety of social critiques and condemnations of branches of human activity that still exist today.

SUBJECT: ILLEGITIMATE CHILD TITLE: ILLEGITIMATE CHILD: Still a product of love If you’re an illegitimate child your life is shattered as your identity‚ your heart is broken as your home. You always seek for something yet you fail to find what’s your looking for.
