"Somehow it seems to fill my head with ideas--only I don't exactly know what they are.

The joy of a tale is in the telling. Alice in Wonderland is such a part of our cultural landscape that I've long been familiar with many of the characters and events in the story, but I've never actually read the book before. It's a whole other thing when experienced with Lewis Carroll's actual words. I knew the plot was fairly nonsensical, but the dialogue is even more so. Constant wordplay and silliness, but more often than not entertaining. Each time I felt things were getting too trite or tedious something else would come along to tickle or delight me. Of course, I'm quite given to this exact kind of nonsense so it's right up my alley, but now that I'm aware of it I can see Carroll's influence all over the place. And, as Alice says above, as often as not I really didn't understand much of what I was reading, but somehow the ideas were still amusing. Now onto the annotated version so I can begin to understand his hidden meanings.

The best examples are too long to include here because they involve ongoing dialogue, but here are a few bits I enjoyed:
-----
Once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, "and what is the use of a book," thought Alice, "without pictures or conversations?"
-----
If you drink much from a bottle marked "poison," it is almost certain to disagree with you sooner or later.
-----
She generally gave herself very good advice (though she very seldom followed it).
-----
"Reeling and Writhing, of course, to begin with," the Mock Turtle replied; "and then the different branches of Arithmetic--Ambition, Distraction, Uglification, and Derision."
-----
Here one of the guinea pigs cheered, and was immediately suppressed by the officers of the court. (As that is rather a hard word, I will just explain to you how it was done. They had a large canvas bag, which tied up at the mouth with strings; into this they slipped the guinea pig, head first, and then sat upon it.)

"I'm glad I've seen that done," thought Alice. "I've so often read in the newspapers, at the end of trials, 'There was some attempt at applause, which was immediately suppressed by the officers of the court,' and I never understood what it meant till now."
-----
"You know," he added very gravely, "it's one of the most serious things that can happen to one in a battle, to get one's head cut off."
-----
"There's no use trying," she said; "one can't believe impossible things."

"I dare say you haven't had much practice," said the Queen. "When I was your age I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast."
-----
"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean--neither more nor less."
-----
"What does it matter where my body happens to be?" he said. "My mind goes on working all the same.""

"What month did you read this book for? November

Title: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass

Author: Lewis Carroll

Date started/date completed: October 30, 2009-November 29, 2009

Total Pages: 272

Rating of book (1-10): I would rate this book an 8, because I enjoyed the child-like adventure, fantasy and the whimsy of the book. Even though the book has child like qualities, the book can be enjoyed at any age.

Describe a minor character/person in the book that had major importance. Explain. One of the minor characters in the book is the White Rabbit. His roll in this tale is of special importance, his frantic, nervous and aggressive character ends up being followed by Alice throughout Wonderland as he rushes around worried about being late. During the book he ends up meeting Alice and scampering past her. The White Rabbit was basically Alice's guide around Wonderland, her reason to explore and examine the curious place.

Author's purpose: The author's purpose of writing this fantasy tale was to tell a meaningful story in an exciting way. He wanted to entertain people with a fantasy tale that can be enjoyed by all ages. Carroll had a unique understanding of children's minds and that he could be more animated and lively around children than adults and that could have helped him write this creative tale.

Intended audience(s): The way Carroll wrote this fantasy tale, the audience can really be any person of any age; youthful kids to young adults to older grown-ups."

"Harus g akui, awalnya nggak ada minat untuk baca buku ini selain karena filmnya akan ditayangkan tahun ini dan kebetulan salah satu pemainnya adalah aktor yang g sukai. Jadi mulailah g baca untuk merefresh ingatan akan Alice yang waktu kecil dulu serialnya sering g tunggu-tunggu.

Pas baca, agak terkejut juga dengan isinya, sampai g bertanya-tanya kenapa dulu g sampai suka Alice? jawabannya mungkin sederhana, karena g masih anak-anak dan g nggak terlalu peduli jalan ceritanya seperti apa yang terpenting Alice membuat imajinasi g berkembang. Dan mungnkin justru anak-anaklah yang lebih mudah mencerna cerita Alice ini.

Buku Alice yang g baca sekarang terasa berat. G mungkin akan disebut berlebihan kalo bilang buku ini setara buku-buku filsafat. Tapi itu justru kesan yang g dapat. Buku ini penuh dengan pertanyaan-pertanyaan, dialog-dialog antara Alice dengan lawan bicara maupun Alice dengan dirinya sendiri, kemudian jawabannya pun penuh teka teki dan tidak jarang yang menggantung.
Belum lagi makna yang tersirat dibalik setiap masalah yang ditemui, simbol-simbol yang diyakini mewakili suatu keadaan atau benda dan lain sebagainya.Heheh...mirip buku filsafatkan???

Intinya...buku ini sangat buaguuuuus...kalo g punya sepuluh jempol, akan g acungkan semuanya. Kalo perlu d pinjem jempol org2 utk nambah *alah!*

Yang ingin ebooknya, japri sajah. Ntar g kirim

I'm never sure what I'm going to be, from one minute to another! However, I've got back to my right size : the next thing is, to get into that beautiful garden-how is that to be done, I wonder?
Alice in Wonderland who makes me wonder too hahah!"

"Read both as a child, and again as an adult. Loved and appreciated it then; love and appreciate it now.

A book everyone should read at least once, and one that I hope children are still reading today."
