Cheshire Cat

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…

In one of Lewis Carroll’s books “Alice in Wonderland” a character in his book says,“Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?''That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,' said the Cat. This quote means each time you make a choice you are going down a path and it’s your choice on which path you want to take. You decide how much you want to grow from now. This quote relates to the novel “outsiders” because the people in outsiders made their own choices, they decided…

"Second star to the right and straight on 'til morning." Peter Pan is a fantastical children's book published in 1904 by Sir James Matthew Barrie, more commonly known as J. M. Barrie. The Count of Monte Cristo, written by Alexandre Dumas in 1844, is a historical young adult fiction. These two books could not be more different. Peter Pan focuses on the imagination of young ones, one of which will never grow up. The Count of Monte Cristo follows the betrayal of a man and his revenge. However,…

“Who in the world am I? Ah, that’s the great puzzle!” Alice asks herself this shortly after entering Wonderland, although this line would not be at all out of place in any adolescent’s head (Carroll 15). Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland is a novel that deals heavily with many aspects of identity, including finding and growing an identity as a child. Alice goes through many trials in the novel, and readers watch her change and adapt to get through all of these. Disney’s 1951 adaptation Alice…

Hatter a questioning look. An odd one he was. “Now we’ll just get down to Wonderland and defeat- Cheshire is that you? What are you doing up here?” A smile appeared out of thin air, followed by the quirky cat’s body. “Well you see, Hatty, you left the portal open. I followed up Big Head and her Jabberwocky because I figured you’d need help, thank me later for my services.” The Hatter glanced between Cheshire and Alice. Alice’s face changed from confusion, to disbelief quite quickly. “YOU LEFT…

“Curiouser and curiouser!” is the exclamation Alice cries out as she witnesses the absurdities of Wonderland, a magical and frightening, dream world (Carroll 8). It is a statement all readers can certainly agree with as Alice makes her way through a plethora of different, but equally disturbing settings. Her journey begins simply enough at the bank of a river with her sister, when out of the blue, a white, clothed, talking* rabbit hops past her. Alice hastily follows it right into an…

As in the first chapter of the book of James, battles are found in both Homer’s The Odyssey and Tim Burton’s film, Alice in Wonderland. The similarities between the characters’ experiences in…
