The Adjectives For Alice's Adventures In Wonderland

Improved Essays
This book was about Alice (at first not realizing she had fallen asleep) following a white rabbit in a waistcoat with a pocketwatch fretting about time. Following the rabbit she came across a rather large rabbit hole under a nearby hedge. She had fallen into the hole, and followed the rabbit. After seeing plenty of marvelous things on the way down she had appeared in wonderland. Soon afterwards with plenty of encounters of strange objects; creatures; and delicases, Alice met a catipillar, who hadn't seemed to help Alice at the time, though helped her onto the right track. Alice had continued on, hoping to get home for Wonderland was a great adventure to her. Alice kept going, soon finding that if she had a court with the Queen she'd be certain …show more content…

It may not have a special meaning to others, but it seems to have a deeper connection with me than any of the other passages. I had choosen this passage because it had sparked a type of memory in myself. Not a memory of an action but more a recurrence thing. The riddle the Hatter had given, "Why is a raven like a writing desk?", It had no answer, for there is no way a raven is like a writing desk. Though I had been reminded of two occurences with this phrase. One of which had reminded me that not everything in life would become explanatory or have a single purposeful answer. Somethings were merely meant to be undiscovered or unknown. It also reminds me that sometimes life is a confusing thing, something that isn't always black and white or up and down. Life has colours and purpose, reasons but not explanations. Showing that while life may be confusing it's interesting and fun. Just like the riddle the Hatter had given the confused but intruged Alice.
Some life lessons that had been reinforced for myself while reading this book was probably the life lesson of curiosity kills the cat. Not literally, of course. Alice could have very possibly gotten hurt with her curiosity. Following something like the White Rabbit without someone else could have very possibly gone terribly wrong. What if the Rabbit was truly someone out to hurt Alice or to lure her into a trap. It just reminded me to be cautious with curious things, or simply enough not

    Creating a secondary world that includes recovery, consolation and escapism is a very important component of modern fantasy. Many critics do not believe that Carroll succeeds in creating recovery and therefore consolation in his work Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Although this is a children’s book, Carroll is able to succeed in creating a literary work that can also pertain to adults. Through the maturation of Alice in her dream, and her return from the dream, we are given a sense of “return and renewal of health” that Tolkien says contributes to the aspect of recovery. Although, Carroll’s ending is short and may leave the reader hanging, it does include a sense of recovery and consolation.…

    The poem depicts an explicit view on the purpose of literature today, as we generation Z and future generations are straying away from the meanings of literature to a more scientific understanding. The scientific community and the Language arts community are at a conflict together as one community seeks only the answers while the other takes the individual, and guides them on a journey that will bring them to the depths of critical thinking. This is implied in the poem when the author suggests dropping a mouse into the poem searching and feeling the walls for the light switch. The mouse represents us, a timid creature with tunnel vision, focused exclusively for an escape rather than observe our environment. The searching and feeling…

    I have chosen to identify and relate five moral lessons, or lessons in general used in the story and relate them to life in the twenty-first century; a little side note, there are countless things in this story that are real “emotion pullers” from the simple caring for people, to much larger examples. However, I am going to stray away from the obvious examples, such as “Hey, let’s not have another mass genocide.” because that's too blatant and we know already not to repeat those things. First, the most apparent lesson is the value of friendship, trust, and support.…

    Throughout the history of Edgar Allan Poe’s history of writing stories, there are multiple examples of symbolism. The examples of symbolism can vary from a lost friend to a hint at how the story may conclude. In stories, such as The Masque of Red Death, Black Cat and The Raven, there are many examples of symbolism. The many uses of symbolism are usually taken from parts of Poe’s own life. In The Masque of Red Death the symbolism is evident in the name of the story.…

    Kenya Davie Mrs. Bowers English 4B April 9, 2017 The Comparison of Coraline & Alice’s Adventure in Wonderland From “Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons are real but because they tell us dragons can be defeated” (G.K. Chesterton, Coraline) to “If you don’t know where you are going, any road will take you there” (Lewis Carroll, Alice’s Adventure in Wonderland). These two stories are very similar to each other, but still very different. Both are amazing stories are about a young girl who is led into a strange world where they have to challenge all odds in order to make it home.

    The theme of growing up is a big part within Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. One of the ways this is shown is through the loss of self identity and physically growing and shrinking. This is shown whithin chapter two “The Pool of Tears”. Alice is faced with the obstical of being too large from drinking a bottle of liquid, this presents a problem for her as she desperately tries to get into the garden ‘lying down on her side, to look through into the garden with one eye’ (17) This gives the reader more of a understanding about how large she has become, the imagery of Alice lying down but not being able to do anything else other than peep through the door is very vivid, even though it is such a short description.…
