Alice in Wonderland

           Lewis Carroll wrote the original Alice in wonderland and since then there haven’t been any dramatic changes to the story. This is probably because it was written only about a hundred and fifty years ago.           

            In the Lewis Carroll version Alice notices a white rabbit talking to himself and she is immediately intrigued. She follows the rabbit and falls, for what seems like hours, down a hole until she lands in a mysterious new land. Throughout the many versions of the story there are a lot of reoccurring themes, such as growing up and out of phases.

            When Alice lands, she explores her surroundings which have become a hallway filled with doors. She tries each door but each is locked, stricken with sorrow she sits down. When she sits, she notices a small table with a small golden on it. Alice quickly realizes that this must be a key to one of the doors and tries all of them. She tries and tries but the key doesn’t seem to fit in any of the doors, until she comes to a low curtain, behind the curtain there is an equally small door. The key fits perfectly and the door opens, but because it is so small she cannot fit, sadly she returns to the small table hoping for another key. She doesn’t find a key, but a curious little bottle of a strange liquid marked drink me. Being the naïve little girl that she is she drinks it, and almost immediately starts to shrink.
