Carroll O'Connor

poem “A Boat Beneath a Sunny Sky,” Lewis Carroll talked about the boat ride that he went on with his friend, Alice, and her sisters (Popova). On this boat ride, he told the children about the story of Wonderland, which later inspired his book called Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (Popova). This poem reflected the loss of Carroll 's loved one. As Alice grew up, she is not naïve and optimistic like she used to be when was a little girl. As a result, Carroll was disheartened by her transition…

siblings fighting, drive them all around and it was something new. It’s the start to the end of my schooling. It was going to be something different than living in the small city of De Pere for 18 years. Now for the next six years, I was going to Carroll University and living in Waukesha. To me that was so crazy to think about. Six more years of school was not at all what I wanted to do, but I knew that I wanted to become a physical therapist and that is how long I needed to go for. I was ready…

Who Moved My Cheese? written by Spencer Johnson displays how important it is to be able to manage unexpected change. The book has mice, Scurry and Sniff and two little people, Haw and Hem.

In the essay, the movie being analyze is Zootopia, with the depiction of discussing race, ethnicity, gender, and social class. By talking about examples with the movie one can comparing it to events today one. In the movie “Zootopia”, a brave bunny name Judy Hopps is trying to become the first rabbit cop. When she first joins the unit she is given a lesser job than everyone else who is looking for missing animals. Judy then meets a shifty fox named Nick Wilde, who tricks her in a hustle. Judy,…

In My Neighbor Totoro, Mei and Satsuki Kusakabe explore the wild woods and let their imaginations run wild. Seeing magical creatures like a kind majestic beast, to a cat bus that has headlights as eyes seems too surreal. The movie takes you to a whole new world where you can find adventure through the eyes of two imaginative girls. Director, Hayao Miyazaki made this anime movie one of the best children’s movie I’ve ever seen. This movie had so many different morals behind it. The first moral I…

of the book, is bewildered by it saying, “"It seems very pretty," she said when she had finished it, "but it's rather hard to understand!" (You see she didn't like to confess, even to herself, that she couldn't make it out at all.)” (Carroll 64). So why would Carroll, even in a children’s novel, write a poem with a practically indecipherable lexicon? While at first the poem’s language seems silly, the babbling style of the poem brings its theme more clearly into focus. The poem itself is about…

discover the core of strength within you that survives all hurt.” Although, for many, it is difficult to find this strength making growing up seem frightening.

In the novel, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Lewis Carroll is attempting to show Alice maturing from a child to a young adult. Before Alice’s tumble down the Rabbit hole and trip to Wonderland, she had gone through a phase in which she believed that everything could be explained and all questions had a reasonable answer. In the real world this was the case, but not in Wonderland. This leads to the inevitable outcome of her confusion between the real world and the “imaginary” world of…

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…
