Chapter 1


The first chapter of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland was about Alice seeing a rabbit dressed in clothes and following it down a rabbit hole. While falling, Alice is calm and acts as if she isn’t falling .When reaching the bottom, Alice sees a key and finds the door to it but it is too small. After drinking a liquid, she shrank and she realized she didn’t have the key. To try and solve her problem, she ate a cake labeled “EAT ME”. We believe that 2016 relates to Chapter one because there are a lot of curious children that are growing at an increasing rate. For example, the article about a transgender teen relates to Chapter 1 because in the story, Alice is going through change when she falls down the hole and ends up in a different place. Her moods also change which causes her to lose her innocence. The transgender teen is going through change because he was most known as the “Obama care kid” who was basically the miniature health care activist and now, he is coming out with something different. Another example of this would be a video we found about this five year old that had done a back bend flip and became paralyzed. We believe this relates to Chapter 1 because the little girl was curious about things and tried to do flips that she was not ready for and tried to grow too fast and hurt herself because of this. In Chapter 1 Alice was curious and ended up falling down a rabbit hole because of her curiosity. The young girl (Alice) represents innocence because as she falls down the hole it becomes dark and black. Black represents death so, Alice’s innocence is disappearing.

  2. I agree with this because you were able to relate Alice being curious to our world, and what can happen when your to curious. I think this is a good article/blog because it shows that its more to the story and that you can breakdown things to find something even bigger.

  4. You explained and gave good examples to your summary. I like how you used a transgender's story to relate to Alice and wonderland. I thought that it was very creative.

  5. Very good summary and I like the picture, but I think maybe if you added more to the background it would have been remarkable, despite how good it is already
