Analysis of Style and Structure
Lewis Carroll is an author that likes to depict her work in images, symbols, and through using a fair amount of literary devices. Lewis Carroll uses the theme for the reader’s excitement and brain and to not make it boring, she uses a lot of mysterious theme into the character “Alice”. This book starts joyful when Alice walks into her house, and then she ends up on the other side of the looking glass, where she is in the reflection of the mirror world to the real world. It gets all scary when a dragon starts coming and attacking Alice and the dragon just disappears. It turns into a mysterious mood when Alice meets up with Tiger-Lily “the talking Sunflower”, she starts to help her out but then she meets up with the Red Queen, the leader of the world. The story turns into a positive mood because the Queen tells her how to get out of this world, in order to get through the mirror of the real world, she has to be queen also. She’s really bossy and demanding at first, then she is kind and full of excitement and helps Alice. In this book, there’s a lot of imagery because Lewis Carroll tries to give the reader a general sense of what all characters look like and how they contrast from each other. Meeting people in this book is Lewis Carroll implements for helping Alice escaping the other side of the mirror. For example, she meets Tiger-lily and the Red Queen and they both help her and guide her on her journey on how to escape the mirror world. These are symbols that represent the sort of solution that Alice needed in the situation because she in a problem, when she was lost and she didn’t know where she was, the queen helped her. This book is literally weird and very exciting to read but some random parts got their ups and down.

CRAZY HOUSE?!
There has been a mom and a dad complaining about a missing child gone for more then two days, the cops tried their best, now, it’s up to you to find this girl. We have some lead evidence and suspicion of a mysterious hole, and some talking flowers and chess-pieces. We have held in custody the red queen, she isn’t saying anything, and she wants us to reply with your majesty... Unacceptable! She wont say a thing except, “just look through the glass and you might find what you see”. Three days later, we found a magical mirror found in the living room of Alice’s house, a team of an elite force went through the other side of the looking mirror through another dimension and no reply or and sign from them, they must be lost too, just like Alice. We can’t tell for sure what kind of place this is, whether you ant to be there or if you can get there without being hurt.
Now, we need to discover this new dimension, we are not alone, there are creatures beyond you imagination! Anyone is from now on prohibited to enter the property of Alice’s house, we weren’t able to get their last name, and we are investigating their house. We are checking if anything in their house can be dangerous to the human world.

Character Analysis
I have read Alice in Wonderland and looking in the glass, and in my section of the book that I have to read, The Red queen, the talking sunflower and Alice were the only people that truly stand out, well the dragon doesn’t because he has no lines.
Alice- is a sensible girl who finds herself in a strange world rules by imagination and fantasy. Alice’s tension comes out when her perspective of the world clashes with the weird, the smart and the scary in the land of the Looking Glass. She is a “brave” and “naïve” who tends to go through places without even thinking first, but she’s only 7. Alice has only one goal in mind and is to become the queen of the land and find her way home, being a queen is her only way. The most important scene is when she reads the book of handwriting because it could do mysterious things like summon a dragon.
Tiger-Lily- A talking sunflower who has 2 other talking sunflowers beside her, probably her friend. She is really “feminine” and likes to “laugh” and answer her own rhetorical questions. She had “red petals” and a “green stem” Her goal is to be aware of her area and make sure nothing bad happens.
The Red Queen- The red queen is really “bossy” but not evil. She has a “soft side” when you are nice to her and she helps you out. She’s all “red” and had some white clothing on and she’s a pawn. She helps Alice and tells her you can only become queen, and then you could find the way home. Then she makes Alice a pawn. The Red queen likes respect a lot and likes to be called “your majesty”. She doesn’t have a goal because since she owns the whole land.

Most Memorable Moment "Journal"
This scene had a lot of unusual, awkward, thriller, and mysterious moments. Alice was trapped in the looking glass “other side of the mirror” and then she found a book lying right beside her on the table. This book was read backwards and in stylish handwriting so she directed the book right at the mirror so she can read it front wards. After she read it, it sounded creepy, then a dragon came out of no where beginning to make screaming sounds at Alice. Then the dragon disappeared and it was her imagination and she talks to an owl in the picture, the owl is real and alive. The owl teleports her to a similar wonderland area and she walks to find answers how to get back to her world. Now this is the part where it’s my most memorable scene, she meets with the Queen of Hearts, she is a pawn with like red all over her, and she controls the land. She is sometimes nice and demanding and her pace is very fast like how she runs. This is my most memorable part of the scene that I read in the book because she describes as this game as the chess field where everyone is a piece in this game and like the features of the places of how she explained it was great. The magical book that summoned the dragon was also one of my most memorable parts of the scene because it the first time I read something that has a bad violent creature in it.

Analyisis Of Setting
Through the looking glass is a new adventure now since Alice got out of wonderland. It all starts in the afternoon, and she runs to her house to see her parents. When she entered her house, she is in a new parallel dimension where everything is a reflection of her. She walks in her house and she is separated by mirrors from the real world through the reflection world and she’s in the reflection world. Alice is invisible and no one could hear her or see her until an owl comes out of a picture and guides her through a new journey, into a new world. She explores this new world and meets up with the Red Queen. Then the Queen informed her that this world is a big board game. The board game was chess; most of the field had big blocks or checkered colours with people everywhere playing as a piece in this game. It’s probably a economic kind of, well mostly its monarchy since there is a castle in the middle of the field and there are Kings and Queens.

The disappearance of a young girl by the name of "Alice" has caused suspicion in the neighborhood as Alice was last seen with a "talking rabbit". The rabbit has been taken into custody for further questioning. No clues have been found, but an extraordinary deep rabbit hole has been discovered in the premises. Further investigation will take place, as police close down the neighborhood. Expert Scientists say that the rabbit hole is actually a "Worm Hole" that transports organisms into another dimension. This dimension is filled with many fictional, talking, extraordinary, strange creatures. Police say that they have no choice, but to leave Alice down there until further investigation on the rabbit hole takes place. Alice is presumably dead.

"Most Memorable Moment Journal "
I felt that my section of the book was very strange and random. The book is introduced to two more strange creatures ( a Gryphon, and a Calf-headed Turtle) that later on teach Alice to sing and dance with Lobsters. In my opinion, that was the most memorable moment in my section.
The scene starts off with The red Queen ordering The Gryphon to wake up and take Alice to see the Mock Turtle. When Alice and the Gryphon arrive to the Mock Turtle's home, they already start to see and hear the Turtle crying, sobbing, and sighing. The Gryphon and Alice then sits down to hear the Mock Turtles story and why he was so sad. The turtle explains how he was once a regular turtle, and how he went to a underwater school. He continues to explain that he had the best possible education, and that he was fortunate enough to learn the "Lobster Quadrille". Explaining the "Lobster Quadrille", the Gryphon and Mock turtle begin to start dancing and singing with very random, and strange lyrics.
This part of my section was the most memorable because as the Mock turtle tells his story, there are many points in the conversation that involved "play-on-words" puns. For example: Alice asks the turtle why his teacher's name was "tortoise" if he wasn't a tortoise, and the Mock Turtle responds with "Because he taught us.
After reading my section, I found that this book was very strange, random, and riddiculous, much like a stupid dream.

Character Analysis
Alice - Alice is a little girl born in a wealthy, English family. After a pursuit of a white, talking rabbit, she finds herself lost in a strange world ruled by imagination and fantasy. As the story progresses, we observe that Alice is very curious, talkative, sensitive, and daring. But as the story continues, Alice becomes brave, caring, and heroic. Alice's goal is to help the creatures of wonderland, discover more about its mysterious, extraordinary setting and also find out more about how and why she ends up in Wonderland. Her goal is to stop the Red Queen and save Wonderland. Her motive in doing so is freeing all the wonderful, innocent creatures of Wonderland.
The Queen of Hearts - An evil, big red-headed Queen who dictates all of Wonderland. She is an impatient, hasty,
rude dictator who has no respect for wonderland or any of the creatures in it. Her goal is to have everything her way, and to keep it that way. With the help of her guards, King, "pets", and Jabberwockee (a destructive, fire-breathing dragon) she gets everything she wants by force.
The Gryphon/ The Mock Turtle - The Gryphon is a mythical creature with the body of a lion, and the head and wings of an eagle. The mock Turtle is a turtle with the head of a calf. The Gryphon is a very generous creature, as the Mock turtle is a very sad creature. They are introduced when the Queen orders the Griffin, who lazily wakes up from his nap to take Alice to see the Mock turtle as he tells his sad story. These two creatures are significant in my section because as the story progresses, a friendship is formed between them.

There has been an outbreak of disappearances around Eclipse Boulevard and the few that were rescued from the rabbit hole claim to have witnessed unimaginable creatures and impossible realities. The victims claim to have been lead by a white rabbit with a stop watch so out of curiosity the victims decided to follow in its tracks without hesitation. The families of these innocent victims say that they've gone crazy and they don't know what they're saying and we are think that they have accumulated some kind of psychological problem after falling into the hole. They claim this place to be some kind of Wonderland. The police have locked down the area and banned any mysterious white rabbits holding stop watches claiming to be late for an appointment.

The pages I read which were assigned to me I found to be unusual, impossible, and complete nonsense. This includes the part of having eating certain sides of a mushroom to increase or decrease Alice's height. I found the part where she was at the Mad Hatter's Tea party to be nonsense and unusual because the Mad Hatter out of nowhere pulls out a riddle asking "Why is a raven like a writing desk?" which of course Alice could not answer and neither could the Mad Hatter who made up the ridiculous riddle in the first place. Another scene in the chapter is where The March Hare's watch which measure the day of the month is broken so he decides to spread some butter on it and suddenly just dips his watch in his cup of tea and looks into Alice's eyes and says " It was the best butter". I did not understand what just happened.
Another part of the book was when the Duchess threw a live baby at Alice, Why and for what reason would a person throw a baby at someone!? After reading this section I find to believe that this book is utterly ridiculous.

Character Analysis
While reading my part of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, and through the Looking Glass" I have found that the Queen, The Cheshire Cat, and of course Alice were the Three in the book amongst which I have found that truly stands out, and most influential to readers.
Alice is a sensible girl who finds her in a strange world ruled by imagination and fantasy. Alice's tension come's out when her perspective of the world clashes with the mad, and insane world of wonderland. Wonderland questions her perception of good manners by repetitively coming into contact with inexcusable rudeness. She tries to persevere in the way she lives her life but her sense of rules are falling apart. Alice should choose between staying with her beliefs and order, or falling to Wonderland's rules and logic. Because her logic doesn't match up with Wonderlands, she is considered mad by the creatures in wonderland.
The Cheshire Cat is unlike any creatures in Wonderland. It keeps a calm, and lonely state of mind. The Cheshire Cat knows the labors of Wonderland altogether. The Cat explains to Alice that in order to be in Wonderland you must become mad or in other words, crazy.
The Queen of Hearts is the overlord of Wonderland, the Queen of Hearts is the character that Alice must eventually confront to figure out the mystery of Wonderland. In a way the Queen of Hearts is actually really the center of Alice's problems. The Queen of hearts isn't like any of the citizens of Wonderland, she isn't concerned with nonsense and twisted logic because she is with complete authority. She is a feared by all, even by The King of Hearts

A Dangerous... Hole
Gagan Khattra
Thursday,
There have been recent reports of several missing individuals near 133 Wither by Dr, the house of one known as Alice. Alice has also been reported since Tuesday of last week. We went and inspected the situation and we found the weirdest sort of thing that some of us have ever seen, it was a monstrously large rabbit hole that seemed to go REALLY, REALLY, REALLY far into the earth.
Our reporters have gotten contact with someone down inside the hole but there were very limited connections which only give us very scarce information about what the situation was down there. We heard something about a hall of doors, a couple of empty jars and a fancy looking mirror. We have no clue what any of these things meant, or whether this man could`ve possibly gone insane. We also heard something much unexpected, that there were animals who could talk, and that the animals were superior to humans. We can`t tell for sure what kind of place this is, whether you would want to be there or if you could get there without being hurt, but for now we should just worry about more important things and not look into this too much.
Analysis of Setting
Alice in Wonderland has various settings starting from a hot summer day, when Alice is all relaxed lying down by the river, to a point where she is actually swimming in a place that she thinks is on the other side of the earth because of the long fall she had to get there. Alice is used to all of these customs, manners, and rules, so when she gets down there everything she ever learned had just been “thrown out of the window” because no one really cared how they appealed to others and what they would think of them.
When Alice falls down through the rabbit hole there is a mood of excitement and suspense of what could be down there, courtesy of Lewis Carroll. Not too long after she arrives in a mysterious hallway with a whole bunch of doors. Then, shortly it becomes an exciting swim for your life situation when she has to swim her way out through the door in her own tears.

Character Analysis
Alice in Wonderland is a book with many strange, interesting and influencing characters some of which who don`t have ordinary perspectives and personalities. In my section of the book, first fifty-five pages, there were basically only three characters that really stood out, the Rabbit, the Mouse, and of course Alice.
First of all there is Alice, who discovers a rather unusual rabbit hole because when she stumbled upon it and fell inside it almost seemed as though as it were an endless fall. Alice had very good behavior but she later learns that where she has gone it there are no rules and manners don`t apply anymore. Alice had a goal in the scene to follow the rabbit and see where he would lead her, it lead her deep below the earth into a strange place. Alice wanted to get to the garden but didn`t get there.
The rabbit is probably the most important part of the scene because if he wasn`t there then Alice wouldn`t have wandered off and fell through the whole and this whole story wouldn`t have been possible. The rabbit`s goal in this scene is to get back to his duties quickly because he is already late, in a rush, and he also ends up losing the items that are crucial for him to perform his duties.
The final character in this scene is the emotion mouse; Alice meets the mouse when she has to swim in a river of her own tears. The mouse is emotional because it gets upset and annoyed every time Alice brings up something about her cat or something to do with dogs. The mouse`s goal is to get away from Alice and the grief that she is causing it with her nonstop talking and explanation of stories.

Most Memorable Journal
My scene had a lot of funny, unusual, and awkward moments, some of which included the part where Alice was falling down the rabbit hole for a very long time. Also, when Alice was physically changing heights and sizes, from being short as a mouse to being about nine feet tall. There was also a point in the scene where Alice was actually swimming in her own tears because she was too tall to fit through the door and because she ate a cake she shrunk small enough to swim in her own tears.
The part of the scene that I remember the most, and that sticks out when I refer to my scene is the part where Alice eventually swims out of her tears with the mouse and meets up with all of the different creatures, birds, and animals that were also caught up in the river. This was most memorable because Alice was so surprised that all of these animals and creatures were with her the whole time, and what made it even better was the fact that she didn’t know all of them could talk so she seemed really stunned when this had happened. The part that I found funny was when all of the animals crowed her because they were looking for a prize from winning a game previously. Alice thought at that moment that the whole thing was very absurd, but since all the animals looked so grave she didn’t dare to laugh; she also couldn’t think of any response to what had happened so she just simply bowed to them giving her a thimble.

Analysis of Style and Structure
Lewis Carroll is an author that likes to depict her work in images, symbols, and through using a fair amount of literary devices. Lewis uses a main theme that surrounds the book and I think that theme is mystery because she puts the main character Alice into a world where there aren`t any rules, animals can talk and are in fact superior to humans, and a world where basically anything can happen.
This book starts with a joyful tone when Alice is by the river on a sunny day, and eventually starts chasing a rabbit that is supposedly not an everyday rabbit. Then, not too soon it turns into a sort of sad tone because Alice can`t seem to find her way through the doors. Then finally it turns into a humorous mood because she meets up with this mouse and she tries to make him feel better but really messes up with her wording.
In this book there`s a lot of imagery because Lewis Carroll tries to give the reader a general sense of what all the characters look like and how they contrast from each other. The other main thing about this book that makes it stand out from others and something that I haven`t seen before in any other book is the fact that Lewis Carroll implements food as a sort of cure to Alice`s problems. For example the cake makes Alice grow bigger and the potion makes her shrink. These are symbols that represent the sort of solution that Alice needed in the situation because she had a conflict, such as when she couldn`t fit through the door she used different tactics to try and find her way. I think that everyone should be given a chance to read this book because you never know what can happen next in the crazy world of Alice’s Wonderland.
This book starts with a joyful tone when Alice is by the river on a sunny day, and eventually starts chasing a rabbit that is supposedly not an everyday rabbit. Then, not too soon it turns into a sort of sad tone because Alice can`t seem to find her way through the doors. Then finally it turns into a humorous mood because she meets up with this mouse and she tries to make him feel better but really messes up with her wording.
