Lewis Carroll, the author of Alice in Wonderland, wrote, “ I can’t go back to yesterday - because i was a diffrent person then.” When I heard this qoute there was a million thoughts that go into my head and question, some where “ is that true?” , “ Did I change?” and “ Was it for the better?” So many changes have happend and it’s crazy!
Three years ago today I would have been in eighth grade, I had a friend that I told everything to and thought life was so full and nothing would change and I thought I wouldn’t change, I wanted to be a photographer and I was happy, I thought nobody could change my path and my way of thinking and that made me happy to know I had control of my life and I thought the people that were in my life would never get

I didn’t want to leave my friends or teachers. I loved my school. I have moved a lot in my life, so I didn’t want to move again. One day my mom said we might be moving in a couple months to Oklahoma.
School was getting harder and more social things mattered. I established a good friend group and continued to live my life. I met this girl and built feelings for her, but in the long run, it dint work out. Because of the occasion of this happening, my friends make fun of me to this day. It was become a characteristic of mine, a trait.
It was uncomfortable for me to be around my classmates, but everyone in the class seems to be nice to me because I was the new kid. They didn’t have problems with me and I didn’t have problems with them. As time goes on, I began to feel
Timothy Walter Burton has directed 35 movies in his lifetime. Burton’s films are very well known for his unique use of cinematic techniques. His movies are also popular for his use of horror in a childlike manner. Though the use of contrasting colors, non-diegetic music, and lighting Burton shows in Edward Scissorhands and Alice in Wonderland how it’s better to be different and yourself than conforming to a restrictive society. Burton uses contrasting colors in Edward Scissorhands in order to show how dissimilar Edward is.
I was afraid to leave most of my family behind, afraid to leave my friends and the hobbies I had. I told my dad but he told me “it's for the best” but I was young I didn’t know what that meant.
I thought to myself what am I going to do? I have all my friends, my school I can 't just leave all of that. My grandparents said they wanted to be closer to family in arizona. So that 's why we were moving. I didn 't have a choice I had to start packing I waited to the very last moment I could.
But, glad that I learned this lesson and now I can start my search for that exact person. I have not found friend yet, but will continue looking for them. Thanks to the move, I have grown into a better person and learned the true value of friendship. Inaddition, to helping me deal with change, making new friends, moving developed who I am. As aresult, moving made me a better person from finding who I really am.
In the Victorian age, children’s condition was a problem. treated as miniature adults, they were often required to work, were severely chastised, or were ignored. Exactly in that period Charles Dodgson under the pseudonym Lewis Carrol wrote “Alice’s Adventure in Wonderland”, a novel that tells of a girl named Alice falling through a rabbit hole into a fantasy world. It is first of all a children’s book as it has a child protagonist; however it appeals to adult readers with its advanced logical reasoning, witty puns and trenchant satire of Victorian society. So we can consider it as a drastic reaction against the impassive didacticism of British upbringing.
Though I might not have realized why I was the way I was back then, I know now that I have developed into the woman I am today because of my home life and experiences as a child. According to
Alice in Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll is about a girl changing her outlook on society and adapting to it. Alice changes sizes a lot in the beginning but the sizes are uncomfortable for her; she is too big or too small and attempts to discover the conventional size. Alice, in the beginning, cries due to her size being too tall or too short; later on, however, she uses the size to her benefit and is audacious enough to talk back to the queen. Alice changes so much so that one would not be able to guess that she is the same nice and innocent little girl that readers once saw in the beginning. Whenever Alice changes size physically, it represents her ability to adapt to Wonderland and most importantly to the people; for example, when she is small, she is nice and innocent, but when she grows, she turns into a rude girl(Pattern 13 and 1A).
Similarities and Differences Between The Book and Movie of Alice In Wonderland In 2010 a movie adaptation of Alice in Wonderland was released directed by Tim Burton, based on the 1865 novel Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. The movie adaptation made significant changes to the book, although they still have many similarities. They both share many symbolic elements and characters such as the Mad Hatter and the rabbit hole, and both have the theme of being lost between childhood and adulthood. They differ in that the movie has a more defined plot with a clear antagonist, but the book does not.
To draw further scrutiny to Victorian conventions, Carroll incorporates several languages features and play. Employing the use of the useless educational system in Victorian society, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland depicts several moments within its tale where Alice attempts to conduct herself by reciting facts she learned in school to try and maintain a sense of her life prior to falling down the rabbit hole into the world of Wonderland. The first evidence of this occurring features in the first chapter succeeding her tumble. She begins to wonder how far she has fallen and attempts calculating the exact distance away from the centre of the Earth she is; “let me see: that would be four thousand miles down, I think […] but then I wonder what Latitude or Longitude I’ve got to?”
Alice walks through the hallway her long blonde hair flowing in the wind, the sun blaring on her baby blue eyes. She walks around only to spot a rabbit with a gold pocket watch. She becomes curious and she chases the rabbit in her long white dress and her tall high heels. As she chases the rabbit she hears the rabbit mumble something “I’m late, I’m late for a very important date” the rabbit says as he jumps into his rabbit hole.
Sometimes people may compare themselves to characters from a book or movie that they feel they are similar to. I strongly believe that I am similar to Alice from Lewis Carrol’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. To begin with, we both have a very strong sense of curiosity. Also, another trait that we share is an overactive imagination.
"Who in the world am I? Ah, that’s the great puzzle. " The quote from Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland describes my current situation well. I’m no special snowflake, just a girl with dreams larger than Jupiter. A girl undecided and excited about the future.
