  2. Alice in Wonderland is funny. I like it a lot because of its pure nonsense. It kind of reminds me of my own personality. Alice is a cute little girl. She thinks she is so smart but she really isn't. I would use Fireflies by Owl City to describe the book. It is all about a fantasy/ dream.

  3. 1. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is alright. I probably won't read it again any time soon, but it was fun. I especially like the poems and the word play.

    2. Alice is very much an airhead and acts her age. SHe's alright, but she seems very fickle. Her mind is always jumping every which way.

    3. I can't think of a good song for Alice off the top of my head, so I just typed "Alice in Wonderland songs" into Google and came up with:
    How do you get to Wonderland
    Over the hill or underland
    Or just behind a tree
    When clouds go rolling by
    They roll away and leave the sky
    Where is the land behind the eye
    People cannot see
    Where can you see
    Where do the stars go
    Where is the crescent moon
    They must be somewhere in the sunny afternoon
    Alice in Wonderland
    Where is the path to Wonderland
    Over the hill or here or there
    I wonder where

  4. I think Alice's Adventures in Wonderland was a good book filled with nonsense. I beleve that Alice is a naive girl who fails to understand her actions. A song that reflects the book is Fireflies by Owl City.

  5. 1. Reading Alice's Adventures in Wonderland was a real...trip. I really enjoyed the book - it was nice to step back to a place of our childhood. I loved the movie as a kid so reading the book brought back so many good memories. This book was definitley non-sensical and some parst were strange and some were just down right funny!

    2. I thought Alice was so funny! Some things she would say were hilarious (like when she was talking about sending her feet a present) and also her reasoning is silly ("I c'an't explain myselft, because I'm not myself, you see."). Whe was a sweetheart and she was fun to read about. I liked her better than the whiny Disney version of Alice.

    3. I picked the song "15 Step" by Radiohead because the lyrics reflect the beginning and end of Alice's Adventures:

    "How come I end up where I started
    How come I end up where I went wrong"

    And this part reminded me of the Cheshire Cat and how everyone is mad in Wonderland:

    "You used to be all right
    What happened?
    Did the cat get your tongue?
    Did your string come undone?"

  6. 1. It was the weirdest and most random book I have ever read.

    2. She is fairly ditzy and says almost everything she thinks!

    2. Fireflies by Owl City (very random but good song)

  7. 1. My overall opinion of the novel is that it's a good book. I loved it. Even though a lot of it wasn't in the book that was in the movie, it was still interesting.

    2. She's a silly goose!

    3. Fireflies by Owl City

  8. 1) My overall opinion of Alice in Wonderland is that it was amazing. It was alot more funnier then I thought. I've never had a book make me laugh as much as this book did.

    2) My opinion of Alice is that she is silly and funny. I loved her as a character and she was a joy to read into.

    3)The song that reminds me of Alice in Wonderland is White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane.

    "One pill makes you larger
    And one pill makes you small
    And the ones that mother gives you
    Don't do anything at all
    Go ask Alice
    When she's ten feet tall

    And if you go chasing rabbits
    And you know you're going to fall
    Tell 'em a hookah smoking caterpillar
    Has given you the call
    Call Alice
    When she was just small

    When men on the chessboard
    Get up and tell you where to go
    And you've just had some kind of mushroom
    And your mind is moving slow
    Go ask Alice
    I think she'll know

    When logic and proportion
    Have fallen sloppy dead
    And the White Knight is talking backwards
    And the Red Queen's "off with her head!"
    Remember what the dormouse said;
    "Keep YOUR HEAD
    Keep your head"

  9. 1. My overall opinion on Alice's Adventures in Wonderland would have to be "this is a weird book." I mean, it's like crazy. Things happen that never happen. I really loved the Cheshire Cat! Even if he was a bit creepy.

    2. I think Alice is immature (duh, she's still a child) but she does show a lot of growth throughout the book. She is a very likeable character. She really can grow on you. :)

    3. A good song that reflects Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is Fireflies by Owl City.

    alice's adventures in wonderland is a funfilled adventure fueled by madness and total nonsense that does a great job of incorporating our society and lifes struggles in a way that people of all ages can relate to.I think that alice as a character was interesting and easy to love; however, at some points her ignorance seemed to annoy me.
    A good song that describes alice's adventures in wonderland is wiid by MC Chris.

  12. Alice's adventures in wonderland was a decent book. Naturally it was complete nonsense but the word play was very good. Alice as a character was a little annoying. she was constantly messing up or getting lost and saying the wrong things. A good song for this book would be crazy by gnarles barkley (?)

  13. 1) I really enjoyed Alice In Wonderland. The utter nonsense rather appealed to me.
    2) Alice is a child who annoyed me because of her immaturity and stupidity.
    3)Paris Is Burning by Ladyhawke, it relates because Paris burning would be quite chaotic. Or I'd choose Alice In Wonderland by my ex's band. It goes something like:
    Her eyes scream save me,
    I don't know where I am,
    I feel like Alice in Wonderland,
    I can't find the door,
    the open door,
    Lost in the queens court,
    forever more.

  14. The book is crazy, it made no sense. it was the weirdest book i have ever read.

    Alice was just a regular little grl to me. She didn't come out with any vastly. Beligerent.

  15. The book is full of nonsense. Only wierd people with no time on their hands would write this book, but the book is entertaining.


    Alice is a ditzy character. She is funny though.


    A song that fits this novel is "Party in the USA" by Miley Cyrus, because this novel is one big party.

  16. ~I felt the novel was very intriguing and cute. It made me feel somewhat like a kid again.

    ~I think that Alice is a very dynamic girl, she came a very long way from being nieve to becoming wise.

    ~A song that reminds me of Alice is the song "Journey to the Past" by Aaliyah.Alice doesn't journey to the past but the song reflects a young girls long journey and she's trying to get home ultimately like Alice wanted to do.
