Gulliver Park And Misconceptions

The first thing that comes to my mind when I hear of Gulliver is the children's book that I read when I was about 7 about this character. The next thing is my visit to Gulliver Park in Valencia, Spain, where my family and I spent almost half a day running up and down Gulliver. I also remember that while I had lots of fun scrambling up his lags and sliding down his arms, there was something scary about the fact that there was a giant tied to the floor. On top of that, there was something that scared me a little about the facial expression and the way his body was contorted. Why are these things important? I think that I just felt that having a previous idea of what the story would tell made me start reading with some sort of prejudice towards it. I felt like we were going to dwell on a story made for little kids, which although I found interesting I really didn't understand very well. Now, however, I noticed that this perception I had about the story being made for kids was completely erroneous because there is so much in the book that only people who understand literature could catch, I don't even think I understand half of what is there, that it makes it a book for literates.
