Alice's Adventures in Wonderland


Situation:
While Alice and her sister were sitting by the river, she saw a rabbit run away from her, and she followed. Then, she fell into the hole. In that wonderland, Alice met a lot interesting people and things, such as the Dodo, the White Rabbit, the Caterpillar, the Pig and Pepper, the Mad Tea-Party, and Pokers’ Kingdom.



Conflict:
After falling from the hole, she found a door that was too small to get in. So, she got a bottle written on “Drink me”. Drinking, she became small and got into the door. However, she grew again after she came in the small room. Not knowing what to do, she cried out. Then, she found a fan and gloves left by the hurried rabbit. She started to fan herself. Amazingly, she became small but, she was too small and fell into the pool of her tears. Scared, saving by the mice, she came to meet the Dodo, which was a bird-like animal but could not fly. The Dodo talked strangely and they began to run in a circle to dry themselves. After that, she met the Caterpillar that told her to eat some mushrooms to make her grow. Yet, her neck grew longer rather than the whole body after eating. Then, to recover, she ate another piece. This time, she came to a village and came into one house. She found that the baby was too poor to be here with the Peppers’ couple; so, she took the baby out. Suddenly, the baby became into a pig and ran away. And, Alice met the Hatter, the march Hare, and a Dormouse in a tea party; still, they were talking nonsense which annoyed Alice. So, she went to the Poker’s Kingdom, where there was a queen loving to cut off everybody’s head. In there, Alice was demanded by the queen to play croquet by using flamingos and hedgehogs, and of course, it’s not a fair game. Abruptly, the queen shouted that she would hold a trial, but no one knew whose trial it is. Then, in the court, the queen wanted to know who ate the tart. But, again, queen crazily wanted to cut off everyone’s head. Alice, then, said something for the justice. Angrily, the queen demanded cards to cut her head off.



Struggle:
Alice was scared and she wanted to get to the real world. She hated this crazy world. She wanted to fight for herself.



Outcome:
All of a sudden, Alice began to grow and those cards seemed to be no harm on her. Then, she heard someone’s calling. It was her sister! Finally, she woke up and went home.



Meaning:
The author of this story appears to have a criticism toward the politics in that period of time. I think that this story is a reflection on that time. Perhaps, at that time, the whole country or world is in a chaos. Then, how the residents feel in their hearts? If you are stuck in this chaos, will you stand out and fight for yourself?
