Alice: Paper Topic

For my paper I am thinking about writing about Alice in Wonderland because I really didn't like The Alchemist at all. Although I didn't like the ending to Alice i'm still kind of interested in some of the things in the novel. Things such as the many comparisons made between the characters and other things in comparison to the Victorian Era. I find it very interesting and think that Lewis Carroll did intend to use characters and maybe the setting to tell of how the Victorian Era was while at the same time writing a children's story.

Refelcting on The Alchemist

Some things that I see going on in this book would be that the boy I don't think is very smart because he says that he would never give up his sheep and then the next day he does, so that he can go on search for some treasure that might not even exist. Also I see that the boy is choosing to go in search for the treasure instead of going back to being a sheperd. the boy decides to follow all the good omens and to not ignore them because he finds them important.
