Research question

My intended topic is going to be over an underlying meaning about life’s journeys, and how Carroll uses Alice to portray someone growing up in the world as he seen it. Carroll was really trying to portray how he felt life’s adventures were in the Era he lived in. 

The Alchemist

A major thing I have been noticing is this book seems to try to connect everything to a universal truth about why humans are even here in the first place. I feel like this book is trying to tie biblical means and old myths together to try and show insight on why we here, and why we have come up with what we have. I guess they are trying to show that when people follow their Personal Legend, they discover the true truths of the world, and become one with the Soul of the World. Its a new day thinking, and it reminds me a lot of Avatar.

Tea Party

I personally disliked the way Burton portrayed the Mad Tea Party. The characters seemed to be more "drugged-out" then just plain crazy as the book does. The characters in Burton's were jittery and laughing in crazy tones, which to me didn't portray them right. When I was reading Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, I didn't get the feeling like everyone was tripping on drugs and being crazy in that sense, I more felt as though they were crazy because of the world that they had grown up in.

Journal Entry from the Catepillar

I told the young girl something important through a story I had her tell. I hoped for her to gain insight on her struggles through listening to herself tell the story. I then offered her my mushroom and told her one side can make her grow taller, and one side could make her grow shorter. That was all I told her, and for good reason. She has to figure out things herself.

Lewis Carroll

                Lewis Carroll was an extremely gifted and talented man, with a very mysterious and eerie presents about him. As a young man, Lewis excelled in mathematics, like his father, and won numerous prizes. Mathematics was his strongest subject in school, but he enjoyed literature works by William Shakespeare and John Ruskin. He appreciated literature to the point of writing his own poetry and short stories for his siblings enjoyment.
               Carroll then followed in his fathers footsteps and went to a religious college to become an Anglican clergyman. He then went to Oxford and preceded to follow in his fathers footsteps, and graduated with the same honors and position of Mathematical Lecturer. Math was apart of Lewis Carroll's life, and from his actions through life, it mattered to him to be like his father. 

Favorite Book

My favorite book to this day is "From the Corner of His Eye" by Dean Koontz. I stumbled upon this book my senior year of high school and it hooked me because of the eeriness about it, and because it was the first book that actually scared me while reading it. "From the Corner of His Eye" is one of the craziest, scariest books i have ever read, and i enjoyed reading it because of this.
