Alice Vs. Alice

After the conversation with the pigeon who denounced Alice being "a serpent" or "egg-thief", Alice went straight to the house of the Duchess. The characters of Fish-Footman and Frog-Footman were also omitted here. Surprisingly, in both books, there was the same sentence about Alice having seen "a cat without a grin, but never a grin without a cat." After visiting the Duchess and meeting the Cheshire Cat, Alice goes on to the March Hare's tea party. In this part, the well-known riddle "Why is a raven like a writing-desk?" changed into "Why is a bird like a desk?". Personally, I can see no point in changing the sentence and I think it was not necessary. Readers of the graded version could get confused about the never ending tea party. In the original, the Hatter is mentioning the time as "Him" and tells a story about why it's always six

In the movie, they mix up characters and events from Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. Alice is determined to be the Alice that should slay the Jabberwocky, but the Red Queen tries to kill her. Alice is able to infiltrate the Red Queen’s palace with the help of the White Queen, and steal the sword that will kill the Jabberwocky. They fight and Alice wins. When she goes back home, she is apprenticed to a shipping merchant because no self-respecting woman ever gets married. These differences effect the plot line and it seems as if these were two completely different plots.

From the moment she sees the White Rabbit taking his watch from his waistcoat pocket, Alice tries to understand the logic of Wonderland. None of the rules that she has been taught seem to apply in Wonderland. The characters in Wonderland have no sense of manners and respond to her questions with answers that make no sense. For example, the Mad Hatter asks the questions, “Why is a raven like a writing desk?” (Alice 51). Alice assumes he is asking a riddle and she begins to try to answer it, thinking the Hatter would not ask a riddle without knowing the answer. When Alice is unable to figure out the riddle, the Hatter explains that there is no answer. He does not explain why he asked the riddle, he simply says, “I haven’t the slightest idea” (Alice 53). In which Alice replies, “I think you might do something better with the time, than waste it in asking riddles that have no answers” (Alice 53). The Hatter then responds with a lecture on Time, which he depicts as a person. Time being depicted as a person makes no logical sense to Alice. In the end, Alice rebels during the trial scene when the King said “Rule Forty-two. All persons more than a mile high to leave the court” (Alice 88). Alice objects to the absurd nature of the trial saying, “Who cares for you? You’re nothing but a pack of cards!” (Alice 91). This final scene is the end of her dream, and she wakes up with her head in her sister’s lap.

Alice can be very childish, but throughout the story, she encounters many animals with human qualities that make her change her perspective of the world she lives in. The main obstacle in Alice's life is growing up. As she grows up, she looks at situations in a very distinctive way, such as the moment when alice meets the March Hare, The Mad Hatter, and the Dormouse. By the time the story is over, Alice is already a grown up because of all the experiences she confronted such as, the mad tea party, the encounter with the caterpillar smoking a hookah pipe, also Alice's encounter with the Red Queen during the croquet game and the trial.

Alzheimer's disease is a familiar sight to me. I had a sad experience during my work as a nurse in my country Colombia and Spain with Alzheimer disease patients. Day by day I came to know each patient’s story because every day they were living the moment without remember the last minute. This is also what happened to Lisa Genova’s novel Still Alice. The protagonists is a 50 year old woman, a very well organized, efficient, highly-educated, and smart Harvard professor, wife of a successful man, and the mother of three grown children, who has diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s disease. People have learned about the progression of Alice’s disease through her reactions, so feeling what she feels- a

Mid-conversation, Wonka has a flashback to discovering the oompa loompas in, “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.” This excerpt demonstrates Wonka’s heart and use of efficiency; it shows beginning of the Wonka’s relationship with the oompa loompas. During an intimate scene, Edward flashes back to the moment of his inventor’s death in, “Edward Scissorhands.” This memory offers the audience a look into Edward’s emotional background. Amidst walking in the forest with Alice on his hat, the Mad Hatter relives the memory of the last jabberwocky attack that drove him mad in, “Alice in Wonderland.” This takes the edge off of the Mad Hatter’s character as it provides the audience with insight into his past and allows them to offer a certain understanding. The consistent use of flashbacks in Burton’s films contribute to his style and flourish to his

Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland creates a warped reality, causing each character’s identity to become confused. An exception to this confusion of identity is the Cheshire Cat, who shows an uncanny awareness of his own madness, giving him considerable control over his presence and allowing him to occasionally leave only a grin behind. Alice, contrarily, is strewn all over as she loses herself in Wonderland. In Wonderland, all are “mad,” but to Alice this is preposterous, even as she fails to explain who she is – both to herself and to others. Carroll’s juxtaposition of the Cheshire Cat and Alice in their first meeting scene exaggerates Alice’s insecure identity and its development throughout her adventures in Wonderland.

Much of these three stories revolve around the famine for power and authority by either the characters themselves, or those surrounding them. In Alice in Wonderland, Alice looks for power to find logic in the nonsense world of Wonderland. At many points in the book, she wonders what her true identity really is: “Who in the world am I?” (18). Alice’s loss of identity even brings her to obey the White Rabbit’s orders when he thinks Alice is his maid: “Why Mary Ann, what are you doing out here? Run home this moment and fetch me a pair of gloves and a fan! Quick, now!” (31). Here, the little girl is so unsure of her identity that she believes she really could be the White Rabbit’s maid. Alice begins using food as a method to gain power, however,

The book I chose to read is called The Truth About Alice. Such an amazing novel, it is also the winner of the Children's Choice Book Awards. Everyone knows Alice slept with two men at Elaine's party. Quarterback, Brandon Fitzsimmons died in a car crash, Alice was the reason he died. Rumors are all around the school that Alice Franklin is a bad girl. It is written all over the stall in the girl’s bathroom. Alice had some intercourse for exchange of test answers. Sadly, Alice had an abortion last semester after she slept with the two men, names were Tommy Cray and Brandon Fitzsimmons. After Brandon dies the rumors start going out of control all over Healy High. This novel tells how everyone knows the secret about Alice, and they all reveal their

The Mad Hatter There are many confusing ways Lewis Carroll uses wordplay, ambiguity, and other quirks of language that creates an illusion of madness and logic in A Mad Tea Party in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. The way the characters are portrayed creates a complicated image of nonsense throughout the story. The obscurity of the character's lead to an unaccepting rationality and creates confusion for the reader. Wordplay, ambiguity and other quirks through the character's are tied together and are representative symbols of how Carroll gets his point across in creating confusion for the reader.

For me, I would say Still Alice is a boring movie. Yet, it is a meaningful and a worth watching movie. Julianne Moore’s wonderful performance in Still Alice has won her the Oscar for best actress, so as the Golden Globe, BAFTA Film Award and etc.

In the short story “Alice,” the author Paulette White creates a character who has a particularly close relationship with Alice. This character, also the narrator, plays the role of a participant in the action throughout the story. Because of the narrator’s participation, the reader’s curiosity is satisfied.

In closing, there are many differences from Burton and Carroll’s story. One can say Burton’s adaptation is a fails because the film portrays Alice as weak and need the support of her male figures in the story. Burton tried to re-vision his own Alice, but lost track of what Alice really is. Alice is the main character in the stories, not the Hatter. Just like other works of Burton he fails to portray what the characters are about, but instead turning the characters into a modern day person. Alice was never a damsel turned heroic, but in fact a child on an adventure. The film would have be much better sticking too Carroll’s Through the Looking-Glass instead of turning Alice into an adult. Tim Burton’s film adaptation that should have stayed true

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland shows us how a child's innocence can create an imaginative world that would be considered abnormal and insane through the eyes of an adult. Alice dreams of creatures and animals that have the ability to talk, and she constantly shifts in shape and size, perverting the proportions of Wonderland around her. She also has conversations with other characters that the are full of nonsense and odd remarks. Perhaps Alice's irrational personality is best displayed during the scene "A Mad Tea-Party" when Alice encounters a Hatter, March Hare and Dormouse sitting down for teatime. She walks up to the crew nonchalantly and sits down to join them. Immediately, the Hatter begins to make remarks about Alice's appearance and her manners. He is rude and snappy, having a criticism for everything that Alice

Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll endures as one of the most iconic children 's books of all time. It remains one of the most ambiguous texts to decipher as Alice 's adventures in Wonderland have created endless critical debate as to whether we can deduce any true literary meaning, or moral implication from her journey down the rabbit hole. Alice 's station as a seven year old Victorian child creates an interesting construct within the novel as she attempts to navigate this magical parallel plain, yet retain her Victorian sensibilities and learn from experience as she encounters new creatures and life lessons. Therefore, this essay will focus on the debate as to whether Alice is the imaginatively playful child envisaged by the Romantics, or a Victorian child whose imagination has been stunted by her education and upbringing.
