Reading log

Over spring break I had plenty of time to read a variety of books. But my favorite from this selection would have to be Alice in wonderland. I felt as though this book portrayed a greater message, or was most detailed. The details and descriptions of the characters and setting were flabbergasting. Through the book Alice is trying to basically discover herself within the dream she had been in. she enters this imaginary dream world and meets most of our background characters who are each a part of her or are suppose to lead her to the queen of the evil empire trying to consume the dreamy stated world. Throughout the bOok Alice encounters plenty of challenges to over come. At one point she's in a tea party, and the next thing you know she's a giant because she ate a cookie. Or maybe it was the flamboyant cat that mysteriously seems to know exactly what Alice needs at every point. In the end the queen challenges Alice to a game of croquay. Ironically this game is twisted as they are hitting porky pines as balls and using flambingos as clubs. Alice ended up being forced back into a state of reality from the queens rage from missing the last shot. When she awakens she seems happier or satisfied with herself. It's as though this opifiny awakens her from within herself. It's as though she took aspects of her life and made them events within the dreams, and from my knowledge the queen was her mother. But it seems as she has become content with her after this spark of twisted insanity is over.
