Paper Topic

So i guess for this blog we are supposed to write about the topic that we want to write our paper on. My idea is to do something with the omens throughout the story. I feel that they played a very large role in the book. I was thinking somewhere along the lines of the significance of the omens throughout the book. I might write about how omens in the book are related to omens in life today. Such as the importance of reading omens in the world today. I don't know though. Its just an idea.

The Alchemist

So as I was reading through this book, I started to notice how well the boy is at learning new things. Such as learning about the crystal in the shop and also everything about the camel that he is riding. The boy must have a good memory because when he reads a book, he doesn't forget it very easily. I'm almost read ahead because I want to know what the Alchemist's part in the story is, but i figured i'd just wait.

Burton's Compared to Carrol's

While watching Burton's movie, I couldn't help but notice that there was a huge difference in the way that I saw Wonderland while reading it compared to what it was like in the movie. When I read Alice in Wonderland, I feel like it is a somewhat happy place where it is always nice out. Burton's portrayed it as being dreary and dull. The movie also made me get a better picture of what a few of the characters actually looked like. Burton did a great job at portraying the characters at the Tea Party. I guess if there was something that the movie added, it would be helping me see what the characters were really like.

Capterpillars Perspective of Alice

I figured for this blog I would write about how the caterpillar felt when he met Alice. The way I see it, the caterpillar couldn't figure out why Alice never asked to take a hit from his hookah. He also couldn't understand what Alice meant when she said that she didn't really know who she was. And then there was also the part where he is really impatient with Alice, but I believe that is because she is a child and he feels like he is wasting his time talking to her.

Favorite Book

Well, I'm not much of a reader, but when i was in American Literature in High School, I really liked the book To Kill a Mocking Bird. I know it's kind of gay but it was probably the best one that I had read in a long time. The reason I liked it was because it actually had some real life events throughout it. I probably read this my Junior year of high school if i'm not mistaken.
