First Impression

After Reading the first few chapters of "Alice in Wonderland" I discovered that it is no ordinary story. The story begins with Alice in pursuit of a talking rabbit. After falling down in a very deep rabbit hole, Alice finds herself in an extraordinary dimension with imaginary creatures.

In my opinion, the tone of the book is very mysterious, mystical, interesting, and unpredictable. I think this story is unpredictable because the story is filled with many weird creatures and is full of many twists and cliffhangers from the very beginning. This leaves the reader curious, and guessing from the very first page.

The story is also given a very interesting storyline. At the moment, the plot is confusing and vague and should clear up in the next few chapters. The story is about a big, red headed Queen who dictates a mystical world known as "Wonderland". Just when Wonderland needs help most, Alice is "accidentally" lead down by the rabbit. This may foreshadow future heroism in the story.

The main character Alice, is a very curious, and childish child. From what I have read so far, Alice seems to be a very talkative, daring, adventurous, and sensitive child. She also cries a lot. (She literally almost drowned herself in tears. ) But as the story progresses, I think we will start to see Alice's Heroic, and Courageous characteristics.

In my conclusion, I think the authour did a great job making the book very mysterious, and extraordinary. With all the unusual and weird creatures that is introduced to the reader, I think Louise Carol has done a fantastic job portraying a "Wonderland" theme.
