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.
