Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland
One of the things that come out about adults is that they are in a battle to discover their identity. There are so many things about the world that everyone is supposed to conform to. As Alice is not able to say who they are when asked by the caterpillar in the fifth chapter, many adults have a huge problem just explaining who they are. The confusion further continues when Alice is accused of being a serpent. A serpent takes many forms depending on the situation. This scenario means that being an adult is a challenging task. One has to change and transform to conform to the circumstances and the issues around them. It is with this view that Alice is forced to change when she eats part of the mushroom. She is forced to improve in every circumstance.
Some of the poems are familiar. One of them is Twinkle Twinkle Little Bat. The poem is familiar with many of the stories that children are told. The poem “How Doth the Little Crocodile” seems to mock how the crocodile seems to pour water on its scales so that it might look attractive to the fish. It is seemingly the mockery that Carol is seeking to make about how life seems to make things complicated and absurd for many people. Carol is making a mockery of how things in life tend to seem so attractive, yet in reality, things are rather too bad. Some things look so good, but the idea is that they are only attracting one so that they can take advantage of your gullibility. Thus, the author is seeking to ask people to be much more aware of the thing that seems attractive since they might be a trap.
