Alice 's Adventures Of Unhallowed Depths

“She thinks of when she fought a flood…There are some things a bushwoman just cannot do… she cried then.” The woman crying shapes our understanding of her mental strength, after everything living in the bush has thrown at her, being reduced to tears and physically beaten she stays strong. Willing to endure even more the environment can throw at her. Burton also uses flashbacks to add depth to Alice’s character; the flashbacks are symbolic of the decline in her imagination, her willingness to try the ‘impossible’ and a symbol of her conformity. These flashbacks are also a sad reminder of the passing of her father; he was one to encourage the use of her imagination and believing in impossible things. Her current adventure in Underland is very different to the first because she has forgotten to believe in the impossible; once she crosses this barrier Absolum confesses she is again the ‘real Alice’.

Alice has gone though a lot, but things start to go well for her. She’s with Joel, her family loves her, and she’s friends with kids that don’t smoke or drink. She stops writing in a diary, but dies a few weeks later because of an overdose. Either she was drugged or she started doing drugs again.

Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is a story of a young girl’s journey down the rabbit hole into a fantasy world where there seems to be no logic. Throughout Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Alice experiences a variety of bizarre physical changes, causing her to realize she is not only trying to figure out Wonderland but also trying to determine her own identity. After Alice arrives in Wonderland the narrator states, “For this curious child was very fond of pretending to be two people” (Lewis Carroll, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland 12). This quotation is the first instance that shows Alice is unsure of her identity. The changes in size that take place when she eats or drinks are the physical signs of her loss of identity.

Alice had a wonderful husband with 3 beautiful children, 2 girls and one son. Alice family was the most important thing to her as a wife and mother.

Throughout their lifetimes, children discover themselves within their own realm; in their home, neighborhood, classroom, etc. as shown in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll and Native Guard by Natasha Trethewey. The young, fair-skinned, blonde Alice and the young, good-tanned, brunette Natasha, are both plagued with society’s definition of their identities, as they travel through a fantasy wonderland and the rural south of Mississippi. In a struggle between class and physical appearances and its outcome because of the differences in growing up in an era of peace, prosperity, and national pride (Victorian era) versus an era of muddled civil war, inequality, and the struggle to find national credence (Civil rights era).

Upon falling into the quantum wonderland while in her living room, Alice finds herself faced with a new reality of existence that seems to baffle her. She is first met with some strange-looking dweller of the new and vastly strange wonderland that she could not make out. She politely introduces herself as Alice, thereby invoking a response from her companion to the effect that it was an electron. Alice also noted that nearby was another similar looking figure to the electron, to which the new acquaintance explained was a different electron.

In Alice’s Adventures, Alice falls down a rabbit- hole for what seems like forever, while bits and pieces of her identity remain trapped at the entrance. After this fall,

Many themes are explored when reading Lewis Carrol’s, Alice in Wonderland. Themes of childhood innocence, child abuse, dream, and others. Reading the story, it was quite clear to see one particular theme portrayed through out the book: child to adult progression. Alice in Wonderland is full of experiences that lead Alice to becoming more of herself and that help her grow up. It’s a story of trial, confusion, understanding, and success. And more confusion. Though others might argue that the story was distinctly made for children just to get joy out of funny words, and odd circumstances, the tale has obvious dynamics that confirm the fact of it being a coming of age story.

The “Jabberwocky” is an excerpt from Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There written in 1871. It describes the battle between a fighter and a beast, where the fighter is victorious and the beast dies at his feet. My group for this exercise included Holly, Lydia, Kendra, Ryan, Aalayah and myself and I think that we worked very well together from rehearsals to the final performance.

She begins experimenting when she finds a little bottle perched on a table, upon drinking it she shrinks until she is ten inches high. Although this is an advantage because she is now capable of fitting through the door to the garden, Alice becomes less powerful than she previously was because, though she is still the only human in Wonderland, she is no longer of a regular size. When Alice is small she is vulnerable, she swims in a pool of her own giant tears, and meets a puppy that is larger than her and therefore a threat to her, “it might be hungry, in which case it would be very likely to eat her up in spite of all her coaxing” (38). Contrary to what one might think, Alice suffers from a lack of power when she is too large as well. Her size causes her pain when she is stuck in the White Rabbit’s home, and it causes those around her to be afraid of her many times as well. Unrelated to her size, Alice has a negative power on the friends she is trying to make when she accidentally mentions that her cat likes to chase and eat little animals, or when she has a long neck that she is not a serpent - though she does like to eat

Mrs. Bear started to turn red and the only thing on her mind was how she was going to respond; but she didn’t.

Morpheus walks towards his seat and observes an uncomfortable Neo, sitting on the edge of his chair with his arms and hands tense. He says to Neo, “I imagine that right now you're feeling a bit like Alice, tumbling down the rabbit hole, huh? This reference to Alice in Wonderland enables viewers to understand that Neo is in a position in which anything is possible within the Matrix. Neo replies, “you could say that.” “I can see it in your eyes,” Morpheus quickly responds. Morpheus continues talking with Neo as he stands, which reiterates Morpheus’s position as a leader. Morpheus speaks at a confident and fast pace, which involves a large range of vocabulary and sophisticated content. This shows that he is highly intellectual, as well.

   Lewis Carroll's Wonderland is a queer little universe where a not so ordinary girl is faced with the contradicting nature of the fantastic creatures who live there. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is a child's struggle to survive in the condescending world of adults. The conflict between child and adult gives direction to Alice's adventures and controls all the outstanding features of the work- Alice's character, her relationship with other characters, and the dialogue. " Alice in Wonderland is on one hand so nonsensical that children sometimes feel ashamed to have been interested in anything so silly (Masslich 107)."

The behavior is very peculiar. From Del Toro’s Pan Labyrinth, it is connected to Ofelia when she saw the fairy tales in the wood. I am applying Fairytales as rabbit. When the rabbit hop away and disappeared in hole, Alice was upset because she thought that it was supposed to direct her to the world that she has created just like Ofelia. In my personal experience as a kid, every time I see a rabbit or squirrel, I used to go after them. All the times, they went in the hole or in the wood. I was upset that I couldn’t go after them anymore just like Alice and Ofelia.

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.
