The movie Alice in Wonderland, released in 2010, brought freshness to the storyline and came out with even deeper meaning, visually keeping the classic story of Alice in Wonderland by the director Tim Burton. This film is a wondrous piece of escapism. Tim Burton re-imagines the esteemed and treasured story in the genuine good judgment of recreation. This is by giving Alice an added and established background, in addition to a romantic subplot involving Alice and the Mad Hatter. In this…

Book Review In the beginning of The Lovely Bones, Susie Salmon (The Main Character) decided to take a shortcut through a corn field next to her neighborhood to get to her house faster because it was snowing out.

Racial and gender discrimination--when one race or sex has more power than the other has made a significant amount of impact on our society, ethics, and law. Alice Walker’s novel, The Color Purple, and Zora Hurston’s novel, Their Eyes Were Watching God, both contribute to raising awareness and influencing the movement for black feminists. The Color Purple is about an African American woman named Celie, who survives the vigorous abuse from her father and husband, hoping that one day she will…

The mother tells us she is a "big-boned woman with rough, man-working hands" (876). We can see a large rough woman, who wears overalls during the day and a flannel nightgown when she goes to bed. Because she compares herself to a man many times, we can picture what she looks like. She and her daughters are black, but she describes Dee as being lighter than her other daughter, Maggie. She seems to be dreaming about how beautiful Dee probably is after all these years. She continues her daydreaming…

and Gregory Battcock is an oil on canvas piece by the artist Alice Neel. In this piece you see two seated men, one in suit and tie and the other only in underwear. Both men seem to be staring off into the distance with disinterest. This piece is actually a portrait of the openly gay couple. Alice specialized in portraits and bringing attention to features others usually didnt say much about although you could not help think of. All Alice did was put it in a painting. This piece’s success…

The theory behind this quote is that works of literature do not necessarily have to completely exhibit only realistic and truthful subject matter in order to be meaningful. The truth behind these words are supported in the novel The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold, and the novella Coraline by Neil Gaiman, both of which use details and formal features that reinforce the ideas vocalized…

When desperately Alice was trying to manage how to return to her original size, she found a Caterpillar sat on the top of a big mushroom smoking a hookah pipe. After a little conversation with the Caterpillar, she easily felt irritated with his comments “Who are you?” ”Keep your temper”. She definitely lost her temper, “she had never been so much contradicted in all her life before”, and replied in an offensive way. Alice was curiously looking at a little house, when a Fish-Footman knocked the…

The Life of a Woman in “Meneseteung” Alice Munro is one of the best short story writers to ever live. She is notably talented with her sharp precision and extreme detailing in her writings. She can”achieve an astonishing condensation of meaning within the restricted framework of the short-story form” (Moss and Sugars 334). Munro mainly focuses on resembling ordinary people in the utmost unordinary settings and in descriptive detail, enabling them to reveal their psychological innards and what…

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…
