Alice 's Wonderland, By Lewis Carroll

In one of the articles I found while looking up Lewis Carroll it told about his life and the reason behind writing Alice in Wonderland. Lewis Carroll loved

At the mention of the name Alice, one tends to usually think of the children’s stories by Lewis Carroll. Namely, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass are two classic works of children’s literature that for over a century have been read by children and adults alike. These two stories tell the tale of a young girl named Alice who finds herself in peculiar surroundings, where she encounters many different and unusual characters. Although Alice is at the centre of both stories, each tale is uniquely different in its purpose, characters and style.

Being a wealthy catholic, Daniel Carroll studied abroad. From 1742 to 1748 he studied under the Jesuits at St. Omer’s in Flanders, Netherlands.. When he returned back to Maryland, he slowly

Robinson Crusoe, by Daniel Defoe, often is regarded as the first novel in history. Time and time again writers find themselves mirroring the themes of Robinson Crusoe in an attempt to create a work as highly acclaimed as the one that may have inspired them to write in the first place. In addition, critics have looked to the past to see if the ideas of Enlightenment thinkers have crept their way into Defoe’s influential work. Many authors and critics compare Robinson Crusoe with John Locke, particularly his Two Treatises of Government. In this essay I argue that Robinson Crusoe is not Lockean because Daniel Defoe’s take on the concept of property, as expressed through the actions of Robinson Crusoe and his relationship with Friday, is at odds with Locke’s take on the same concept.

As the sun had risen for yet another day of life, Hiroshima, Japan was attacked by the Americans with the usage of the first atomic bomb in human history. The results were devastating, ashes of all types of living and nonliving objects, a ruined city and thousands of injured victims. John Hersey, an American writer and journalist, took these alarming events and wrote a book, with the responsibility of remaining an unbiased narrator. Creating a grand controversy on whether or not, Hersey effectively pursued a flat style of writing throughout the creation of his Pulitzer Prize Winning book. Hersey, set up his novel in the perspective that the attack from the Americans to Japanese was an inhumane act. Throughout the development of this book, Hersey lost the title of a neutral narrator as he biased the hibakushas, atomic bomb survivors, demonstrating sympathy, favoritism and compassion through his writing.

Carroll was sent abroad for his education. Between 1742 and 1748 he and John studied under the Jesuits at the College of St. Omer in France, established for the education of English Catholics. Then, after a tour of Europe, he sailed home and soon married Eleanor Carroll, apparently a first cousin of another cousin, Charles Carroll of Carrollton.[3]

Lewis Carroll childhood was pleasant. He was always full of ideas and he had many fun hubbies. Lewis Carroll’s hubbies contributed to all his own future creative works. Lewis Carroll enjoyed writing poems, playwrights, and word games. When Carroll was young he made up games and he liked it when his brothers and sister got involved in playing the games. Carroll’s siblings loved and enjoyed playing the unique games that he came up with. Carroll came up with stories that intrigued everyone who heard them. He was a magician, a marionette theater manager, and an editor of the family’s journals and their quotes.

One of my favourite childhood books has been “The Cat in the Hat” by Dr. Seuss. When I was younger my brother and I use to play together. I remember my brother and I use to make a big mess, but also get in trouble at home. The two kids in the book Sam and Sally create a very big mess with the Cat, however the cat cleans it up for them. The mother arrives home and everything is put back into place. Sam and Sally’s mother asks them what they did all day. Then the book “ends with a question “what would do if your mother asked you”? I loved this question as a child because I loved the idea of keeping secrets from my mom, but I never did we always got caught. This book made me laugh as a child and continues to do so today. I have always loved cats

The film Alice Through the Looking Glass portrays shadow and clock imagery from denial to acceptance and the promise of a new life all throughout its scenes. Alice Kingsley begins to embark on yet another quest and is once again reunited with her beloved friends of Wonderland but cannot seem to steer clear

1. I could see the speaker of this poem to be a man telling his son a folklore about the "Jabberwock" around a campfire. I think this because of the intensity of the speaker and how he says, "Beware the Jabberwock, my son!"

Alice is running forward, or so she thinks; however, Alice is doing the exact opposite of that. Alice has a main objective in this novel; she must move eight squares in order to become a queen. In Lewis Carroll’s, Through the Looking-Glass, Carroll adds a certain pizazz that most people wonder where it comes from. How does he come up with certain characters? How does he think of something so different like the Jabberwocky poem? Many things contribute to Carroll’s writing: struggling with sleep deprivation, dealing with dual personalities, having an education, growing up with several siblings, and handling abnormal eating habits.

It is near impossible for the ego to mature without the influence of the unconscious and its interjection within an individual’s experiences. Alice is a young girl who escapes reality and her inevitable adulthood in the real world into her own subconscious wonderland where she encounters many creatures that help her mature. In Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland, Alice comes to learn how to interact with the characters within her unconscious represents how Alice matures to escape regression, signifying that Alice cannot mature without unconsciously using her defenses.

The Victorian Era was a time where not many ethical ideals and moral standards were sustained. Yet, it is also an Era in which modern society uses to make advancements in both humanity, and philosophy. Lewis Carroll, author of Alice in Wonderland, was a novelist who wrote pass his time. He wrote further in the future of the "common" Victorian Era. The ideology he presents in Alice in Wonderland is conducive to an individual attempting to bring attention to the deteriorating mental health and humane conditions in Victorian-Era England. Alice is representative of a normal child in everyday-Victorian England. This child, Alice, has not been exposed to the likes of diversity, but instead solidarity. The type of solidarity that is all too prevalent throughout the Victorian Era, primarily in the upbringing of children during this time. Children in Victorian Era England were taught to be followers of the norms already established by adults, and to ask no questions. These types of parameters placed restraints on children growing-up during this time; not only physical restraints, but also mental restraints, such as their imaginations'. Carroll was no stranger to this ideal or the likes of this concept; In fact, he constructed Alice in The Wonderland with this in mind, to defy the imaginative 'norm' of Victorian-Era England. He created a character that dreamt of falling down a rabbit hole into another universe. This dream or imagination becomes so vivid in his novel that the

'Alice in Wonderland' by Lewis Carroll seems a first a simple fairy tale, but in fact its meaning is a lot more profound. This novel criticizes the way children were brought up during the Victorian era. Carroll presents the readers with the complications these offspring must endure in order to develop their own personalities/egos, as they become adults. For Alice, Wonderland appears to be the perfect place to start this learning adventure. A way to understand her story is by compering it to the world as if being upside-down. Nothing in Wonderland seems to be they way it’s supposed to. The first lesson, Alice must learn in this peculiar journey through Wonderland is to achieve separation from the world around her and to stop identifying herself through others, in order to discover who she

The novel, Tess of the d 'Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy depicts the heroine, Tess and the tragedies that are seemingly continuously finding their way to her. Tess’s tragedy is caused by the societal environment that she is in that finds value in gender divisions and economic growth as well as religious beliefs. The internal strife that Tess faces along with those in Tess’s life are the cause of her downfall. Hardy shows that Tess is fated to fail throughout the novel by creating characters that impede on her success who represent the values of era. The most prominent reason why Tess has such a tragic ending is due to the people that have a great influence on her, these people being her parents, Alec d’Urberville, and the man she falls in
