    Wonderland Books Books tell different stories and those stories become apart of our own life story. We as human beings read books more than once in our lifetime, whether we like it or not. Some books we like better than others and some books we remember more than others. If the world became a place where TVs completely replaced books and books were burned, similar to the dystopian setting in Fahrenheit 451, our own life stories and personalities would change. If there was a mass book burning and I was able to save just one book, I would save Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland because of the child-like wonder displayed with the plot, setting and imagery used.…

In order to make a backdrop, she would’ve had to research and find images she would like to use for her backdrop. It seems like she’d combined many ideas together to create her wonderful backdrop that incorporates a deck of card and different kinds of animals.

She would have had to draw every single detail by hand, such as all the animals such as the rabbit, frog, birds.…

    Quoted by Thomas Hardy “A story must be exceptional enough to justify its telling; it must have something more unusual to relate than he ordinary experience of every average man and woman,” this quote relates to the non-fiction story Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand. The quote by Hardy means that a person does not want to hear a story that can be repeated by any average person, many people are interested in hearing a story that is un-relatable and unique to that person. The story Unbroken relates to the quote by Hardy since no one has experienced what Louie Zamperini and his fellow prisoners of war (POW) experienced during war. Thomas Hardy’s quote agrees with the book Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand, since average people do not experience what…
