ReplyDeleteAlice and the Looking Glass.
The book begins as Alice is sitting with her pet kitten, Kitty, who is playing with a ball of string. Alice tells Kitty a story about “Looking-Glass House,” a magical world on the other side of the mirror where everything is backwards. Suddenly, Alice finds herself on the mantel piece. She walks through the mirror and she is in Looking-Glass House.
There are chessmen standing in pairs on the fireplace and Alice comes to the aid of the White Queen’s daughter, Lily, but the chessmen seem to be unable to see her. She finds a poem called “Jabberwocky” which is complete nonsense and this frustrates her, and he decides to explore the rest of the house.
She finds a magnificent garden and follows the path into the garden. Strangely, every time she follows the path through the garden, she ends up back at the door to the house. In her frustration, she wonders aloud about how to make her way through the garden and to her surprise, a Tiger-lily responds.
When Alice meets the Red Queen she engages in a conversation. The Red Queen keeps correcting Alice’s etiquette.
Alice then notices a chess game being played and tells the Red Queen she would like to play. The Red Queen tells her she can be a White Pawn and if she makes it to the end of the game, Alice will become a queen.
Alice suddenly finds herself on a train. She is with a Goat, a Beetle, and a man dressed in white paper.
The Gnat explains the various types of insects that live in Looking-Glass World. As soon as Alice has learned about all of the insects, she realizes that she cannot remember the names of anything, including her own name.
As Alice and the Fawn find their way out of the forest, their memories returns, and the Fawn becomes afraid of Alice and runs away. Alice presses on and eventually meets a pair of portly men who happen to be identical twins. Their names are Tweedledee and Tweedledum. Alice asks them repeatedly for directions, but they ignore her and instead recite a poem.
They happen to notice that the Red King is asleep nearby, and they explain to Alice that she only exists as part of the Red King’s dream. She is a figment of his imagination. This upsets Alice at first, but she eventually dismisses the things they say as complete nonsense.
Eventually Alice finds her way to the White Queen who explains the time runs backwards in Looking-Glass World. As they are talking, the White Queen bandages her finger, but soon she again pricks her finger on a broach. The White Queen explains to Alice that she has spent her days trying to practice the impossible.
Alice is deeply confused when the Sheep asks her if there is anything she would like to buy. Alice looks around and although the shop is indeed full of things, Alice cannot focus on any one thing at a time. The sheep asks Alice if she knows how to row a boat and Alice suddenly finds that she and the Sheep are in a boat rowing down a stream. The boat abruptly crashes into something.
As Alice tumbles across the ground she sees that she is back in the shop. Alice decides to buy and egg, but as soon as she does this, the Sheep puts the egg up on a shelf. Alice suddenly sees that she is back in the forest and the egg has been transformed into Humpty Dumpty.
The Red Queen and the White Queen approach her begin to relentlessly question her until they fall asleep. Their snoring sounds like music to Alice. She is lulled into the music and does not notice when the two queens disappear. Alice then sees a castle with an enormous door that is marked “Queen Alice.”
She passes through the door to find a banquet has been prepared for her. As she sits down to eat, the party descends into total chaos. She becomes overwhelmed, pulls out the tablecloth, and grabs hold of the Red Queen.
This book is truly a adventure and a novel in its' own way! ✨

ReplyDelete2) Book - Alice's Adventures In Wonderland
Lewis Carroll's book is episodic and reveals more in the situations that it contrives than in any serious attempt at plot or character analysis. Like a series of nonsense poems or stories created more for their puzzling nature or illogical delightfulness, the events of Alice's adventure are her encounters with incredible but immensely likable characters. Lewis Carroll was a master of toying with the eccentricities of language.
One feels that Lewis Carroll is never more at home than when he is playing, punning, or otherwise messing around with the English tongue. Although the book has been interpreted in numerous ways, from an allegory of semiotic theory to a drug - fueled hallucination, perhaps it is this playfulness that has ensured its success over the last century.
The book is brilliant for children, but with enough hilarity and joy for life in it to please adults too, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is a lovely book with which to take a brief respite from our overly rational and sometimes dreary world.
I personally love this book, it is amazing, and it was fun reading it when I was a child.
