First Impression

After reading forty four pages from the book “Alice in wonderland”, I realized that it was very quire and much different from our ordinary children book. It was a bit confusing, at first. In the beginning Alice follows a talking white rabbit and during the chase she falls down what seeme to be a never ending rabbit hole. Once she finally hits bottom of the hole, she seems to be in a completely new, purely imaginative world.

So far I only know about four characters, Alice, Alice’s sister, a rabbit, and Alice’s cat(Dinah) I have a very vague image of most of the characters. So far all that I know is that Alice seems to be very outgoing and can never stop talking. She seems to have a mild case of ADD, and the last thing I know is that she is chasing a very spastic white rabbit who is always rushing and saying “I’m Late”. The bunny also has a little suit and a watch attached to a silver chain.

In the beginning of the story it states that Alice and her sister are sitting on “the bank”. Later Alice starts to follow a white rabbit around and falls down a rabbit hole. As she Is falling down she notices that on the walls of the hole there are a bunch of pictures pinned all around. Then she finally drops all the way to the bottom of the hole and she sees herself, in what seems to be, a brand new extraordinary world with imaginary creatures.

This book, so far, seems to be very mysterious and extremely unpredictable. This is why it tends to be very confusing to most readers. The book has so many surprise “twists” and problems within the first twenty five pages that it leaves everyone curious which makes them want to read more and more. Lewis Carroll has done an outstanding job so far, keeping me hooked and I just cant wait to continue reading.
