Alice 's Wonderland : Carbon Copy

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.

I have decided to choose the book Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carrol. As a graded version, I've had the book from Oxford University Press, stage 2 which is 700 words. The CD version was also available in the graded book and was retold by Jennifer Bassett. The first difference between the two versions was the number of chapters, the original had 12 chapters whereas the graded one only 6.

Issues concerning her size, identity, and her social exchanges with both Wonderland and its creatures spur and characterize Alice’s development towards becoming a young woman.

The feeling of not knowing who the person really is and how they feel can be hard. This emotion was described in the story “Mirror Image” by Lena Coakley. This short story had a girl named Alice who had to go through a brain transplant. This changed her whole life. Because of this brain transplant, she sometimes felt that she was not really herself but felt that she was Gail, who was the body of the person she was in. This is also an allusion to another Alice in the fantasy world but that book was written by Lewis Carroll and the name of that novel is Alice Adventures in Wonderland. The book mentioned right above had the same type of allusion in which the main character is pretty much lost as to who she is and how

In 1862, floating upon the river Isis, Charles Dodgson narrated for Alice Liddell and a few others in company his original tale of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Gliding along underneath the blue sky, Dodgson wove his words into one of the most classic children stories of all time. Thesis: Although Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland may have only begun as a children’s story, many adults have sought to discover the “true meaning” of the novel. Curiosity has led to years of searching and interpretation of the origins of Carroll’s novels, and the symbols inside, developing into theories ranging from practical to nearly impossible, eventually evolving into their own stories in the film industry.

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.

The Disney film version of Alice in wonderland when compared to the The novel Alice in wonderland by Carroll Lewis, expresses a variety of changes which can alter ideological values. Disney is well known for taking classic stories and fabricating them for a wider audience. This form of fabrication can be beneficial, especially in regards to creating various messages that are intended to be perceived by audiences. Other instances the changes are small and less note worthy. The images left out by Disney alter the ideologies that are expressed. Much of the Disney film version is quite consistent with the book, with the addition of certain aspects added from Alice through the looking glass. One crucial alteration added to the Disney film version is the implication that Alice created wonderland; “why in my world cats and rabbits would reside in fancy houses (Disney).” As seen in the first scene when Alice is singing to herself. This crucial addition to the Disney film version of Alice in wonderland changes overall themes of the film. It introduces the stresses Alice is dealing with, and her strategy to cope with these strategies. Alice uses wonderland as a form of escapism to avoid social constructs, which ultimately allows for growth.

1951’s Alice in Wonderland was similar to the novel by Lewis Carroll, in that Alice is a little girl, and all of Wonderland, its creatures, and everything that happens to her, is just a dream that she eventually wakes up from. The 2010 version differs as Alice is a 19-year-old young woman coming to Wonderland for the second time, and none of it is a dream. Tim Burton’s film also adds conflict in the form of the Red Queen’s tyranny over the kingdom, and Alice’s destiny to fight and slay a monster, the Jabberwocky. The film keeps many of the characters introduced in both the 1951 film and the novel, such as the Mad Hatter, the Caterpillar, and the Red Queen, but expands upon them, such as making the Hatter and Alice close friends, and giving the Red Queen the backstory of having a younger sister. While the 2010 version maintains numerous aspects of the earlier film, like the titular character, fantastical Wonderland, and the same impossible features like a drink that can make one shrink, filmmakers also added new conflicts to the story to turn it from a fantasy film to an action

While Alice rampaged through Wonderland a different story was being told. One that never should have been forgotten.

Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll was published in 1865. Lewis Carroll did a phenomenal job writing this novel. Many people said he was on drugs because of all of the crazy things that went on throughout this novel. I believe he was very creative. He covered a lot of things throughout this important literary work such as: setting, character development, symbolism, purpose of this novel, point of view, tone, theme, genre, and figurative language.

Despite this it is important to remember that societal norms change throughout the decades and what may seem inappropriate now may have once been a common occurrence. Indeed the childrens story is filled with threats of violence, drugs, alcohol, stranger danger, and cases where Alice eats and drinks unknown foods or drinks. Despite all the inappropriate aspects of Alice in Wonderland, it is more than filled with appropriate aspects such as imagination, educational value, teaching children the importance of trust and relationships and being themselves. Alice made many friends along the way and learnt important life lessons during her adventure. It is important for children to read and learn what Alice in Wonderland has to teach. Children are sheltered from reality and kept in their own little world filled with nothing but comfort and happiness, and then somewhere between childhood and adulthood, they’re thrown into reality. A reality they have been told is unsafe and full of cruelty and then the children are expected to be comfortable and know their way around. The best literature for a child is that which engages a child's mind while at the same time in a way that they would understand. Children are not born capable of understanding the pain, fear and loss that is a part of the real world, and its essential for them to be taught how to prepare for life. Less time needs to be spent on teaching children to fear the dark, monsters and other such things, and instead more time needs to be spent on teaching children to fear realistic things such as bankruptcy, mean individuals and the lack of acceptance in society. In addition to teaching them what to fear and expect, children must also be taught that it is all going to be okay. It is better to fill a child's mind with a

Marriage has not always been about love. All throughout history, women were uprooted from their normal lives and forced into loveless relationships as ways to provide their family money or power. This is the starting for Disney’s Alice in Wonderland. Alice is a young woman who is proposed by Hamish, the son of Lord Ascot, per her mother’s request. After running away from the proposal, Alice falls down a rabbit hole into Underland where she meets some peculiar characters. Told that she must kill the Jabberwocky as it has been foretold, Alice runs from her destiny only to realize that she must do something to protect her friends and the place she dreamed of so long ago. After killing the Jabberwocky, Alice returns to her to reject Hamish and start working for his father and travels the world. Alice is using her dream to solve her marriage problem so her subconscious is using characters that represents people or her inner conscious in the real world.

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.

Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is about a young girl, Alice, who gets bored doing her multiplication tables one day and follows a white rabbit into a hole. Through this hole, she ends up falling into
