Alice essay propsal
As I read Alice in Wonderland, I'm starting to think Wonderland, whatever it really is, is Alice's way of questioning reason. Alice is always arguing with the beings of wonderland and she gets very easily offended but at the same time they continue to stump her. She also seems to be having a lot of fun with and taking full advanatage of all the "nonsense". So i want to argue that Alice is rebelling against all the things she has been taught to know are true by exploring the depths if true reality. I want to look into what Lewis Caroll thought about eastern religions because i feel that lots of the ideas that everything is everything are explored in Alice in Wonderland and that is a very eastern type way to think. So I know Alice is on some sort of spiritual journey of self discovery and discovery of the world around her. I want to explore that in greater deatil. I'm already seeing lots of great supporting evidence! And i will use the text book along with my other sources just so you know i can! :)

I think you are going down the right path. A good idea would be to now go back to the story and everytime you see a bit of evidence mark it.

ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! And even though we don't know enough about Alice's life a lot of it shows through her 'wonderland'.(That she rebels)
ReplyDeleteI learn alot more about the story reading your blog, thanks for that:)
ReplyDeleteAnyways i believe your ideas are deep and reasonable. I think that the spiritual journey seems interesting to think about.
I really like your ideas on the matter, you can use a lot examples from the story to prove your thesis. One thing that appears unclear to me is how you are going to provide the psychological element to the equation. Hope you can pull it off!
