Responding to Jonathan Swift's Biography

Born in the mid 1600's, Jonathan Swift became a very famous Irish writer a satirist.  His best known work is "Gulliver's Travels".  Swift grew up in a broken home with no father.  He was raised by his mother for a short time, then his uncle took over the responsibility a little later.  He eventually turned to God because of his struggles which helped him tremendously.  He even became an ordained priest.  I believe that the reason that he wrote "Gulliver's Travels" is because of his early life hardship.  He had to work at an early age and bounced around from parental guardian to parental guardian.  This made him take on more responsibility than normal at a young age.  I believe this is some of the reason why he wrote a book about adventure and overcoming obstacles.
