CHAPTER ONE

Alice is presented in a meadow with her older sister. Her sister is reading a book with no pictures. As Alice she peeks through the books her sister is reading, Alice wonders to herself “Why would and anyone want to read a book with no picture or no conversations?” Bored as she is, Alice begins to wandering in her mind. As she goes into a field of Daisies, she is caught up in curiosity when she sees a white rabbit with pink eyes saying “I’m late.” Alice sees the rabbit go down a dark hole and follows, which leads her to falling down into a hole and end up in peculiar land. The two articles we chose connect to the story, because Alice is changing, maturing and has more curiosity once she falls down the rabbit hole and falls into a new world. The first article connects to chapter one, because in the article Obama is going to visit Cuba and makes a statement saying “change is going to happen”. This article relates to the story because when Alice sees the white rabbit go into the dark black hole, she follows the rabbit and goes down the rabbit hole as well. This signifies the fact that Alice’s innocence is coming to an end and change is about to occur in her life. The second news article we picked is related to the story ‘’Alice and Wonderland’’ because it demonstrates on how people are maturing and hitting puberty much younger than normal. It shows how back in 2000, the ages of hitting puberty is through the ages of 12-16, but now in 2016, the ages are 8-16. I believe this article relates to ‘’Alice and Wonderland’’ because, throughout her adventure she is maturing and learning how to adapt as the the story evolves. During Victorian times, it was expected for a young girl to be around an older female and wear dresses. Alice wears a dress which symbolizes her being a female and or proper young child. There were certain ways a female had to act and dress during the Victorian times. When her sister is reading a book she is symbolizing the structures that were expected during the Victorian days. The same goes for Alice. She wears a dress suited for her age. In the Victorian age women weren't really allowed to do as much as we are allowed today.
