In Conclusion

The Alice project is nearing its end and the late nights of blogging and commenting are over. It’s been an interesting and fun journey through Wonderland. Everyone (including my group and I)  in the Alice Project have all discovered something unique about Wonderland. Whether it be finding meaning in the text, looking at music with [...]

Time

Time is very important in our society today, the phrase “Time is Money” dominates the mentality of many citizens in our society. I also imagine it was also important in Lewis Carroll’s time too. Time seems not to be a major in Wonderland, we are not given information about the sun rising or setting. The [...]

Wonderfood

Some people have blogged about food and drink, and how it plays a major part of the book, they are correct. Alice would not be able to go on her journeys without shrinking or growing bigger due to the effect of a food or drink. For example, after kicking the lizard named bill out of [...]

Wonderland

While thinking of a blog entry, I went on you tube and searched Wonderland for no reason except curiosity. I found many music videos about Wonderland, from Earth Wind and Fire to the classic Christmas song. Then I started thinking about who first coined the term Wonderland and after Google searching and looking through Wikipedia. [...]

Will She Remember?

Anybody that has finished Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland will know that Alice’s adventures end with Alice waking up and the reader discovering that adventure was all just a dream. Most people have dreams, experiences that seem real or seem out of this world, a dream an experience that very unique, interesting, and full of magic. [...]

The New Wonderland

Mike Nathman recently wrote a blog about technology Technology Man’s Greatest Aid where he asked the question: What if technology was incorporated into wonderland? I commented by saying I don’t think it would work unless the wonderland of Alice’s time was changed to a modern one. After this I watched the preview for Syfy’s “Alice”, [...]

The Wise Guy

Many stories have a character that mentors the protagonist and guides them. This character is usually wise, confusing, mysterious and kind of old. I’m going to call this character The Wise Guy, not because they are smart-alecks, but because they are usually wise. Also The Wise Guy doesn’t always have to be a guy, it [...]

What Is The Meaning?

It seems that the book Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland has no true meaning to it. Alice goes through many adventures that collectively mean nothing. There is no flow and it seems there is no true objective or underlying theme in the book. There are many hidden meanings behind the characters and the situations in which the characters [...]

Hidden Meanings, Why?

The idea of over analyzing Carroll’s book and killing the magic of wonderland has been mentioned in a couple of people’s blogs. While reading these blogs and thinking a little bit, the question that came to me was “Why did Lewis Carroll put topics in the book that could be over analyzed, have possible hidden [...]

Why Is Alice So Popular?

Today I was just resting on my couch watching Lie to Me and the main guy said, “Are you sure you want to go down this rabbit hole”. This sparked some interest in me because the show had nothing to do with cards, talking cats, or a foolish little girl, but yet it’s making a [...]
