Alice in wonderland
Hello,
So, today, I'm going to talk about the book alice in wonderland, written by Lewis Carroll. Born in Lancashire, in a presbytery of the Anglican Church where his father was a pastor, in a family of 11 children, all left-handed and stuttering. This particularity and isolation have influenced the sensitivity of the talented and singular young boy: he will take up the themes of inversion and the mirror, of disarticulated language in his writings.
First a strict mathematics teacher, he became a photographer, especially of young girls, one of whom inspired him to play Alice and for whom he invented wonderful adventures (Alice Liddell) and then a famous writer.
Alice in Wonderland has been adapted many times into films, notably in a version quite different from the original version by Tim Burton.
The story of Alice in Wonderland fits perfectly into the theme of travel and exile because it fits perfectly into the different stages of a travel story.
The first one: the hero is in his original world and by some circumstance is led to leave this world.
In Alice in Wonderland, here is the initial situation: One afternoon, while she was bored in the garden with her sister, Alice saw a white rabbit running around looking at a watch, moaning and saying: Ah! I'll be too late! "It seemed so strange to her that the rabbit was holding a watch with his gusset that she started following him. When she arrives in a burrow, she finds a small bottle on a table with a label with the words "Drink me" on it and tastes the contents, which makes her smaller.
From then on, Alice will have many adventures.
She swallows little cakes that will make her grow, she then starts crying and fills the burrow with her tears. However, by putting on the rabbit's glove, Alice starts to shorten again and here she is drowning in the pool formed by her tears. Alice will then meet the animals of the forest, with whom she will race. Then she will meet the queen, who will go with her people to find the Fake Turtle. Alice will find her in first class and the one if she asks Alice to tell her her story. Alice is very happy to do so, and starts telling her about all the adventures she has had since the moment she saw the White Rabbit with her watch. As Alice's story follows on from recitations made by the Fake Turtle, calls are heard in the distance: the trial will begin.
This story comes to an end after Alice is brought to give her statement during the tortoise trial.
Alice's statement begins with her questioning, but very soon the trial is diverted and the King, Queen, White Rabbit and other characters attending the trial begin to have a conversation without any headache. Then, when the Queen decided to pronounce the judgment, Alice rebelled and tried to oppose her decision.
Wanting to discard the cards that had been ordered to grab her, Alice screamed in horror and found herself on her sister's lap as she pulled away from her face the dead leaves that were flying. She realizes that she has had a strange dream and starts telling her sister about her adventures in Wonderland. And the sister also began to dream of this wonderful country and to imagine the adventures experienced by Alice.
