Humorous Decisions

I know it’s silly but, one little phrase can ruin your life. You can never be more careful in what you say, word travels, and it can hurt and who says it can’t come around to hurt you? If you have faith anything is achievable with fanatical effort and hard work. Be wise in your answers, always think before you choose foul and believe in yourself and you can achieve anything. These are the lessons that I learned from the …show more content…
Hatter had been taking Alice on a walk to White Queen's castle and all of a sudden, through the dense wilderness he heard a noise it was of figures running, the crackling of leaves keyed that. “Ooh Red Knights!” Hatter had exclaimed, they were surrounded. Hatter had to make a decision either he could just sit there and accept defeat for the both of them or save shrunk down Alice so she can fulfill her destiny. In a split second he made a decision to save Alice, he tossed her onto his top hat and whipped it onto a nearby field, and of course no one thought of this as suspicious because Alice is only a few inches tall so no one could see her. Which in turn leads to another situation that would make or break the trust in Alice by all of her companions in Wonderland. Alice had woke up the next morning inside the hat to obnoxious sound of sniffling on the outside. It was the bloodhound that she is friends with that also lead the “Red Nights” to Hatter and herself. She could have either done what her and the Hatter set out to do, which is get to the White Queen’s Castle, or she could go on an expedition to save Hatter from Red Queen’s Castle. “We are going to rescue him” says Alice. She chose to save Hatter, and set off on the bloodhound Bayard to Red Queen’s Castle. Thinking before taking action usually always leads to good things, like in these

    “Effective nonsense keeps one foot on the ground; fantasy needs a realistic background, a frame of familiar reference. A tour of Wonderland without the practical, very English little Alice to serve as norm would be tedious indeed. But the presence of Alice as norm, as the embodiment of Victorian practicality and industry, suggests that the Alice books may have satiric implications. (Matthews 109).…

    Alice’s emotion changed totally different before and after the “accident”. Before the accident, she described herself as if she was the most beautiful and intelligent girl in the world. When Alice was only two and a half years old, when her father was chosen which kids to take with him to the fair, she knew that it would definitely be her, because she was the “prettiest”. When she six years old, she learned by heart the longest Easter speech. In her beautiful dress, Alice rose to give a speech in a “great wave of…

    When she describes the scene that perhaps she is in an automobile accident, she disregards the fact that her grandchildren, daughter in law and son would all also be in the automobile accident with her as well. When she does end up being in the accident when the car flips over, with herself at fault, she does not even admit it. The Misfit encounters the family, and instead of keeping quiet and having a chance at survival, the grandmother identifies him and asks, "You wouldn't shoot a lady, would you?" Without any thought to her grandchildren or rest of the family, she pulls out her handkerchief and dabs her eyes. As she is pleading for her own life and touches the edge of her hat, it comes off in her hand and she drops it on the ground, forgetting that there are 5 others around her being taken into the woods with dangerous men and no explanation she takes a moment to be sad about the hat falling apart. Any conviction she possibly had before encountering the killers has been broken, like the brim of her hat.…

    The Looking Glass Wars

    A caterpillar that smokes from pipes and eats tarty-tarts is only the beginning of Frank Beddor’s first book in his trilogy The Looking Glass Wars. Many of us are familiar with the infamous fairy tale of Alice who stumbles upon a hole that leads her to Wonderland and meets strange characters like the Cheshire Cat and others. Now there are many differences in Beddor’s tale; not only is the Cat an assassin with nine lives but Alice-the character we grew up knowing-has a different name, Alyss Heart. She is a young girl whose kingdom of Wonderland is taken over by her blood thirsty and cruel Aunt Redd, who is truly the incarnation of evil. This book is one with many gory battles, sad deaths, and is a mouthful of gwormy worms because of its unforgettable characters. Alyss’s parents-whom are both assassinated by Redd-are the type of parents who truly love their daughter. Alyss is 1 percent child and 99 percent goof. She does not fully understand her role as princess and is forced into fleeing her Queendom and entire world to escape Redd’s wrath. She is taken by Hatter Madigan, personal guard of the Queen and gets separated in England. Alyss now has to grow out of her childish nature and do many things, and each of them is near impossible. She must…somehow find Hatter in a whole new world that she is not familiar with; survive in a surrounding unfamiliar to her; find a way back to her own world; and train her imagination so that she can fight Redd. Yes, you heard right. Imagination. No longer are conventional weapons such as guns and bombs needed when you can simply imagine the most deadly weapons in a second. You can even pull a prank on a random bystander just by thinking it true, which was usually done by Alyss. ‘"It'd be more fun if it had fountains of water coming out of it," Alyss said, and immediately the hoop was spurting water from tiny holes all along its surface, the surprised inventor…

    Alice in wonderland is an adventurous book full of mystery, conflicts, and surprisingly allegory. Alice goes through trails, revelations, and at one point even gets accused of “being the wrong Alice.” In this story, Alice believes that she is dreaming and having a weird one at that, but in reality she is not really dreaming. Alice is really trying to find herself and with that she is portraying the conflicts in her life through the world of wonderland. To me wonderland is just a dimension of realization and a way for Alice to find the answers to the questions that she needs. But will Alice realize this in time or will she go on through her “dream” without any realization at all? In Alice in wonderland there are many cases of allegory. The cases the i will be pointing out and defining in my own words are “The Rabbit Hole”, “Size and Growth”, and “The Looking - Glass.” In this essay i will explain my theories and definitions of the allegory in Alice in Wonderland.…

    The Mad Hatter

    The Hatter explains to Alice that he and the March Hare are always having tea because, when he tried to sing for the Queen of Hearts at a celebration of hers, she sentenced him to death for "murdering the time" but escaped decapitation. He comes to the conclusion that time itself was indeed "murdered", he and the March Hare continue to have tea as though the clock had truly stopped. His tea party, when Alice arrives, is characterised by switching places on the table at any given time, making (along with the March Hare) somewhat short, personal remarks, asking unanswerable riddles and reciting nonsensical poetry, all of which eventually drive Alice away. He appears again as a witness at the Knave of Hearts' trial, where the Queen appears to recognise him as the singer she sentenced to death, and the King also cautions him not to be nervous "or I'll have you executed on the spot".…
