    As this may not be surprising to all, the wonderful world of Disney has long been accused of hiding subliminal messages in its animated films loved by everyone especially children. From hundredths of animated films produced by Walt Disney Productions with today’s internet era one might not know what is truth or fake about Disney movies. From hearing multiples rumors about the dirty, hidden messages in Disney movies I decided to do what Jane Gallop calls “Close Reading” (looking at what is actually on the page, reading the text itself, rather than some idea “ Behind the text ) on one of my favorite childhood movies Alice in Wonderland also known as Alice Adventures in Wonderland. Through the lenses of Gallop I would be close reading the film,…

    However, when he is with his wife he feels connected, happy and fulfilled with her presence. Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland highlights “the rabbit hole went straight on like a tunnel for some way…dipped suddenly down…before she found herself falling down what seemed to be a very steep well”. Carroll’s simile and tactile imagery compares the rabbit hole to a tunnel like structure, as both of them have a difference of depth. The imagery is used to create a visual representation for the reader, which illustrates Alice is fearful about her actions, and she is concerned for new experiences. Consequently, both composers display the idea of an eventful discovery…

    The book that I chose to read for this class was Still Alice by Lisa Genova. The reason that I chose to read this book out of all three of our choices was because a movie is actually currently in production called Still Alice which is based directly off this book.

Book Review: To start off, this book is about an older woman named Alice Howland who is professor at the prestigious Harvard University. All starts going south for Alice once she goes on that jog and ends up losing her way.…

    Not only is Alice struggling between adolescence and adulthood, but there is also the possibility that Alice is facing loneliness because she is unsure of who she is or wants to be. “Alice seems like a wandering child imprisoned in loneliness representing a separate, puzzled, and desperate self. Unsure of who she is at times, Alice indulges in constant conversations with herself in order to rationalize repeating physical imbalances of her body” (Mikhchi). Throughout Wonderland Alice tries to rationalize what choices to make and often talks out loud to herself since she is often all alone in Wonderland. Alice is caught between real life scenarios she may be facing and ones she has fantasized.…

    Often language and mathematics are what are seen as the most valuable subjects to learn in school, but these subjects lack the enjoyment aspect of an individual and dehumanize the component of learning. Graphic novels are often a way to show reading in a pleasant manner, unlike the tedious and singular-noted textbooks assigned to read, and can further encourage the pursuit of education outside of school through reading books perceived as fun to the reader. By introducing Alice in Murderland, students can find individual tastes in literature, analyze writing style used by the author, discuss allusions used throughout the novel, find understanding that all uses of reading are not needed to be for the purpose of facts, and learn how artwork can…

    When I first read the title of the movie, I did not think that it was going to be about Alzheimer disease. “Still Alice” appears to be a positive movie title.

While I watched the movie, I learned that the character is facing the hardship of a rare disease (familial Alzheimer’s disease). The biggest question if whether the character is still Alice because of the changes that she is going through with her disease.…

    * Whilst Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is agreed by all to be a prime example of literary nonsense, there exist a one hundred and fifty year-old debate as to whether there is a deeper meaning to it, rather than just being written for a child’s entertainment. There is a deeper meaning to Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland than what meets the eye. Although, there is a bountiful amount of symbolism to explore, we shall sharpen our focus on the following triad: Alice’s growth, her immaturity, and her understanding. To begin with, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is rich in symbols for growth.

    In both stories of Alice in Wonderland (1865) (2010) by Lewis Carroll and Tim Burton, Alice relies on imaginary characters as archetypes guides and helpmates to help better herself throughout her adventure in Wonderland. From beginning to end, Alice Kingsley fought her own battles, whether they were against herself, or against an external force. If it weren’t for the imaginative characters created by Carroll, found throughout Alice’s adventure, or the adventure itself, she would have been unable to move forward in her real life outside of Wonderland. Although Burton was able to base majority of his film off of Carroll’s novel, he was still able to use his own interpretation, giving his version of the story more depth and meaning.…
