How Does Carroll Present Alice In Through The Looking Glass

Alice Walker uses imagery and diction throughout her short story to tell the reader the meaning of “The Flowers”. The meaning of innocence lost and people growing up being changed by the harshness of reality. The author is able to use the imagery to show the difference between innocence and the loss of it. The setting is also used to show this as well.

Alice’s Adventures In Wonderland, is a novel written by Lewis Carroll. The book is about a girl named Alice that falls into this magical place, called wonderland. While in wonderland, Alice faces the many steps of a hero’s journey. At the start of a hero’s journey, there is The Ordinary World. The Ordinary World in Alice’s Adventures In Wonderland , is when Alice and her sister are sitting under a tree reading a book.

Alice in Wonderland Societal Reading Victorian society demanded a specific role of civilians with strict expectations they always adhere to. Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, more commonly recognised by his pen name, Lewis Carroll, is one author who questioned these expectations through the use of satire within his text Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Satirizing the rule and conventions of Victorian society is one manner in which Carroll subverts the nature of this time period by drawing specific attention to the worst aspects and proving how ridiculous they truly are.

The act of looking corresponds to physical vision, but in Raymond Carver’s “Cathedral” the act of seeing involves a much deeper level of engagement. The narrator is fully capable of looking. He looks at his house and wife, and he looks at Robert. The narrator is not blind and therefore assumes that he is superior to Robert. Robert’s blindness, the narrator believes, makes him unable to have any kind of normal life.

In Passing by Nella Larsen, the mentioning of eyes gives the reader an indication of something significant in the text. Passing is told from the perspective of Irene Redfield, an observant mother and wife that accepts her heritage. When Irene re-encounters her old childhood friend, Clare Kendry, at the Drayton Hotel Clare reveals her new life of luxury as a result of passing into the white world. Clare is described as dangerous and mysterious and this re-encounter can bring nothing but trouble into Irene’s perfect life. Throughout the text, Irene regards Clare as something ‘otherworldly’ and even though Irene is described as observant Clare is the only person that Irene is unable to see through.

In Frank Beddors’ The Looking Glass Wars, the story we all know and love is turned upside down and spun around. In Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland we see a young girl from London that fell down a rabbit’s hole into a wonderful world that she had never seen before. In Beddors’ story, we see that Alyss is the princess of Wonderland and is forced out of the queendom. She grows up in England only to be rescued by an old friend. When they returned Alyss takes down her evil aunt Redd and reclaims her queendom.

He is comparing the Puritan children to the ugly weeds of nature that are uprooted and thrown away so then the beautiful roses (Pearl) are more vibrant and noticeable. This Rose would then be, again, another symbolism of Pearl as she is taking all of those weeds out of the ground so she stands out more.

In the book the author states “The Reverend Dodgson published a sequel to Alice’s Adventure in Wonderland entitled Through The Looking-Glass. Again, his scribblings met with popular success. Alice herself did not read the book, but not long before it publication, and against her wishes, she found herself in the same room with its author.(Beddor 95). The author is trying to say that no matter what Dodgson does she will not forgive him. Beddor says this to show that she is stubborn and can not easily

In the short story “The Flowers”, Alice Walker sufficiently prepares the reader for the texts surprise ending while also displaying the gradual loss of Myop’s innocence. The author uses literary devices like imagery, setting, and diction to convey her overall theme of coming of age because of the awareness of society's behavior.     At the beguining of the story the author makes use of proper and necessary diction to create a euphoric and blissful aura. The character Myop “skipped lightly” while walker describes the harvests and how is causes “excited little tremors to run up her jaws.”. This is an introduction of the childlike innocence present in the main character.

In Frank Beddor’s The Looking Glass Wars, he retells the original story of Alice in Wonderland. He turns the whole story backwards, and makes Princess Alyss’s original home Wonderland instead of London. She then must leave Wonderland because her mother, Queen Genevieve, must protect her daughter Alyss from Queen Redd, who is about to take over the throne. While Alyss is running away, she ends up in England and starts a new life.

In the Victorian age, children’s condition was a problem. treated as miniature adults, they were often required to work, were severely chastised, or were ignored. Exactly in that period Charles Dodgson under the pseudonym Lewis Carrol wrote “Alice’s Adventure in Wonderland”, a novel that tells of a girl named Alice falling through a rabbit hole into a fantasy world. It is first of all a children’s book as it has a child protagonist; however it appeals to adult readers with its advanced logical reasoning, witty puns and trenchant satire of Victorian society. So we can consider it as a drastic reaction against the impassive didacticism of British upbringing.

Alice’s reaction to seeing a rabbit in a waistcoat in the book is described as this “Alice started to her feet, for it flashed across her mind that she had never before seen a rabbit with either a waistcoat-pocket, or a watch to take out of it, and burning with curiosity, she ran across the field after it” (Carroll, FIND THE PAGE NUMBER). Alice’s

‘besides, that’s not a regular rule: you invented it just now. ’ It’s the oldest rule in the book,’ said the king. ‘Then it ought to be Number One,’ said Alice” (Carroll 104). Knowing that Wonderland is a nonsensical world, Alice uses her current knowledge to make sense of the foolishness that is presented. In

The poet uses imagery and extended metaphor here, comparing the vision to a creeping plant, possibly parasitic, that took over the narrator’s brain and planted seeds while he was in the vulnerable state of sleep. The specific diction feels invasive, using words like creeping, seeds, and planted and gives the impression that the narrator is not going to be able to simply ignore what this vision means, since things that is seeded and planted tends to take root. The stanza ends with the oxymoronic phrase “the sound of silence”.

In the present essay/reflection, the work of Selinger and Shohamy (1989) and the movie of Alice in Wonderland (1951), based on the book of Lewis Caroll (1865), are carefully observed in order to find certain connections the movie has with the preparatory stages of research according to my perspective. The first connection is at the beginning of the movie when Alice sees the rabbit with a watch running fast for the reason that he is late. Alice says that situation is curious, so she wants to know what would a rabbit be late. This can be related to what Selinger and Shohamy (1989) say about the importance of being curious about what surrounds us and make questions about it with the intention of answering them. Although, after chasing the rabbit for a while, Alice thinks that sometimes “curiosity leads to trouble”.
