Analysis of style and srtructure

Lewis Carroll is truly an amazing writer for all ages. She uses techniques that will keep young children interested and also will keep adults asking for more. She uses a series of symbols, pictures, words, phrases, and interesting writing skills. She uses one theme for her books and for Alice in wonderland I believe that it is magical because, well, the whole book has to do with magic, besides I don’t think anyone would be able to fit through a key whole without a little magic or I don’t think its possible for cats and a deck of cards to walk and talk.
If that was not enough proof here is a quote from the book “iv never seen any animal speak or talk to me, I must be dreaming, or perhaps in a comma”. This quote was Alice speaking to herself when she first meets the white rabbit. Another quote was “I’ve never seen a card alive, iv only played with them on my spare time”. This was Alice speaking to herself when she meets the queen of hearts.
Lewis like to use techniques that will keep you guessing and techniques that will always keep you puzzled, in a way that will make you keep reading to try and figure out what the solution will be.
Many people would give up on her books because they are to confusing but for people like me, who enjoy mystery, her writing is perfect.
