The Alice Confusion: Chapter 2







In chapter 2, Alice goes through a short phase where she seems kind of crazy or weird. She talks to herself throughout the first and second chapter but as she speaks, things seem different from the human language and some will not understand. Halle Berry reminds me of Alice in this stage because of her reaction when she won the best actor award and was the first African American woman to win this award. Even though it was big for her, it may not have been big for others and her acceptance speech seemed over the top and exaggerated for some of us. Also in chapter 2,  while Alice was in the rabbit hole, she was speaking in French and crying a lot making things less interesting because of her actions towards little things going wrong. LeBron James reminds me of Alice because he is always crying and being dramatic when he doesn’t always get his way. For example, When LeBron James won against the hawks he fell to the floor all dramatic, when he could’ve hugged a team member or his coach making himself less dramatic.

The Alice Confusion: Chapter 1


 

In the first chapter of Alice in the wonderland, Alice goes to two main stages of feelings curiosity and peer pressure. I found a picture that explains what curiosity means.  The picture quotes ’’Curiosity: a desire to know or learn; a powerful skill for all ages.” This related to Alice in chapter one because, when she thought she heard the rabbit say it  was late and run off, she followed it meaning she was curious to know where the rabbit was going. However, a quote states that “It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are.” It relates to the first chapter because, Alice could not get into the small door because she was too big, so the door knob told her that maybe she should drink the drink that was not once there before but came flying in and said ‘Drink Me.’ In the story, an archetype was twice, the meaning is like a opposite or duality.
