Wonderland : The Play Mymfksfjskby : Lewis Carroll

When summer starts, I always remember my first trip to Canada’s WonderLand. The best part about Wonderland is Levithan(Tallest Ride) which gave me the deepest first impressions. Before enter the seats, I saw a long lines of people waiting; showing how desperate they wanted to attend. At the last seconds before Levithan started, I felt adventurous and panic. Soon, the rides went up slowly to the tallest point, making me feel gravity-defying and panic. Then suddenly it dropped like the speed of thunder, it created exhilarating joy. As it went down, I heard the sounds of wind zipping in my ear ; I glanced at the carousel and shooting gallery. After the rides was finished, I smell the scent from the food booth;slushy, cotton candies and popcorn

In act one they start the act on an open stage no props and curtain less. The stage manager enters the story and introduces the play. He tells us the setting the town of Grover’s Corners, “New Hampshire, just before dawn on May 7, 1901”. He describes landmarks, churches, schools, and other important places. This tells us that their home town is small but a big part of their lives.

On Wednesday October 28, 2015, I went to see Our Town by Thorton Wilder at Northern Stage in White River Junction, Vermont. The whole idea, the big picture of this play, is describing the cycle of life and death. It is to portray an average life of a person in the time period it was written in. It shows the importance of the little things in life, and how most of the time we are passing through life without thinking about it much. This play has many themes, all pertaining to things about life and it can be related to even though the play was set 100 years ago.

This play is written by Thornton Wilder and the setting of this play is Grover’s corners (New Hampshire). It is a story about the Webb and Gibbs families as their two children fall in love, marry and finally the early death of the married young girl. This play composed of three acts. The first act is about the town’s daily life. The stage manager introduces the people living in the Grover’s corners and the morning starts in the year 1901. The daily life went normally as Joe Crowell delivers the newspaper to Gibbs and Howie Newsome delivers the milk and the Webb and the Gibbs family send their children to

What is (are) the setting(s) of the play? What effect do these have on the plot?

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.

shall firstly do a summery of the play and give a basic image of what

The play begins with two characters in a room; unlike in other plays that we are familiar with, it begins in silence. There are no words spoken at the start till Gus re-enters the basement room. Ben is reading a newspaper. Gus tries to engage Ben in a conversation regarding the contents of the newspaper. All questions come from Gus and answers by Ben. Ben evades questions. There is no real communication in the play.

Does Wonderland really exist? Alex is about to find out when he encounters a white rabbit wearing a waistcoat. His curiosity compels him to follow where the rabbit leads, and it leads him into the adventure of a lifetime. Down into the rabbit hole he goes, finding that most doors will open if you have the right key.

The classic stories “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” and “Through the looking Glass” by Lewis Carroll consist of dreamlike adventures in a crazy world of nonsense. However this nonsense can be deciphered into a complex new system of thinking. This way of thinking can be transferred and directly applied to the mind. How the mind works, its many varying functions, and lastly the unconscious mind can all be tied to Alice. The unconscious mind can be compared to Alice, as can a dreamlike state of mind.
