Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll

Rating: 4/5

Summary:

At first, Alice follows a rabbit down a rabbit hole and finds a bottle labeled “drink me” and so she does, which allows her to fit through an underground door with a golden key. Next, she finds a cake that is labeled “eat me” and her size is restored. She begins to cry, becomes smaller, and must swim through her own tears. Alice begins to talk to the creatures she finds in her wonderland adventure. Each creature may sing to her, give her advice, or help her along her way. In the novel, Alice does not have any prejudice, eats magic mushrooms that do not affect her feelings about herself in any way, and meets up with a hookah-smoking caterpillar. One of the most helpful creatures is the Cheshire cat who steers Alice to the mad tea party and eventually leads her to the garden, where she came from. Alice is only threatened by one character and that is the queen of hearts who threatens Alice with an “off with your head” statement. In the end, Alice wakes up, staying away from danger, and her sister tells Alice she has been dreaming.

Strengths:

Some of the great lessons that Alice learned is that Curiosity can lead to new and exciting things but can also get you in trouble so it must be used with caution. The world views may not resemble your. This book has so many adventures and is fun to read.

Weaknesses:

There were no weaknesses in this story I loved all of it, it had a lot of adventures and a very interesting story to tell, I wont want to change anything in this book.

My Opinion:

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is a great story with many life lessons in it. Alice is one of my favorite characters. As she makes her way through wonderland she learns that in a mad and confusing world home is an escape. Some of the great lessons she learns. Curiosity can lead to new and exciting things but can also get you in trouble so it must be used with caution. The world views may not resemble your own. Charlatans and cons will try to dupe you with promises of hope. Governments always want their way. I hope that everyone enjoys this story as much as I do.
