Reading Notes: Alice in Wonderland, Part A

Reading Notes: Alice in Wonderland, Part A by Lewis Carroll

(Alice: Illustration by Sir John Tenniel)

This reading was one of my favorite of the semester, since I have always loved Alice in Wonderland. However, I had only seen movies about Alice or played games that featured her story before reading this. It was fun for me to see what happens in the original story. My favorite parts of the stories were when Alice bantered with herself. It is comedic and adds even more charm to her character. The things she says and thinks while falling down the rabbit hole in Down the Rabbit Hole and Down the Rabbit Hole (cont.) was probably my favorite instance of that. Even beyond Alice talking to herself, I love the way the dialogue was written in general between all the characters. As I expected, Alice is still my favorite character from this story after having read these parts.

Introduction to a Nerdy Psych Major Hello! My name is Caitlyn Carr. I am majoring in Psychology with a minor in MIS and plan to graduate this Fall!

This is all very helpful to me, since I am an introvert with a high amount of anxiety in most cases, especially in social situations. Hobbies As for hobbies, I spend most of my free time playing video games. I have played video games since I was old enough to properly hold a controller and have not stopped since then. It was actually my hobby of gaming that allowed me to make the online friends that I went to RTX with this year. If I was not into games to the degree that I am, I would ...

Week 4 Story: The Boys Who Befriended Frogs NOTE: This story has been added to my portfolio! Please click here for the current version of the story. (Frog: image by Clker-Free-Vector-Images ) This story is a continuation of  The Boys and the Frogs There were frogs who lived in a pond. They had just been scared for their lives due to some boys who had skipped rocks across the pond for fun. The boys finished having their fun skipping stones in the pond. At some point, the boys noticed a few frogs also occupied the same pond where they skipped the stones. They did not think much of it. Surely the frogs would be fine. The boys did not even spare enough attention to the frogs to notice when one of them tried speaking up before the boys. As the boys departed from the pond, the frogs collected themselves from their earlier panic. The oldest frog spoke in a frustrated tone, “If only those boys were more considerate of others around them! We could have died from that!...
