In “Alice in Wonderland” of 1951, Alice is transported to a place called Wonderland. In that time, she eats food, and meets animals. She also tries to wake herself up at the end of the movie. In my opinion, Wonderland is just a dream. Again, she tries to wake herself up. Second, all the animals in the movie could’ve not existed in real life or fantasy. Third, she somehow gets into Wonderland so quickly, without knowing how she got there in the first place. At the end of the film, she was trying…

"Face" is one of the best story by alice munro. What makes it different from others is In “Face” Alice Munro makes one of her best detours into the past to contemplate on the present. She focuses on the intricate effects that a childhood event can have on adult life. This story is very touchy though. 1) The story begins with a father’s dramatic rejection of his newly born son because of a birthmark covering the right side of the baby’s face. The boy grows up facing the extreme polarity of his…

Classic novels are ones that are passed down from generation to generation. They continue to be understood by readers during the current time period, even though the author had written the novel with a different time period in mind. Roald Dahl’s children’s novels are books that have been read for many generations and will continue to be passed down as time goes on. James and the Giant Peach is the first of Roald Dahl’s children novels that he completed. Even though it was first published in 1961…

After the book was published, its sales went through the roof and many foreign editions had to be made. Inspired by how well Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland performed, “Carroll began work on a sequel, Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There, published in 1872,” (Stanley 18). Unsurprisingly, the sequel was just as successful as it’s prequel. Many 19th century critics found Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland to have a “sheer imaginative force, coupled with a blend of humor,…

“Jabberwocky” by Lewis Carroll is a fairy tale poem describing a boy’s quest to rid his land of the evil Jabberwock.

Carroll uses portmanteaus, words made up of other words, and shows the use of several onomatopoeias, which occur when the sound of a word becomes it meaning (Kirszner & Mandell, 2012). Carroll invented blended words and called them portmanteaus. The…
