Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (1832-1898), better known by his pen name Lewis Carroll, was an English writer, mathematician, and Anglican minister. His best known work is Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. A whimsical and satirical piece, it tells the tale of a young girl who falls into a world of nonsense. As you read, take notes on how Carroll uses point of view to portray a childlike imagination. Commonlit answers

In "Alice in Wonderland", Carroll approaches children's thinking in an ironic, disorderly, confused and curious way, which is usually present in all children, perhaps for this reason his book was and is still so accepted by them today.

Carroll approaches this point of view through a girl on a mind-blowing and funny adventure, in the same way that children create the narratives of their games. These adventures may have little meaning, but they are extremely fun, which is the best interest of children, having fun, playing, participating in stimulating situations and making new friends, just like Alice.

analyzing characters

respond to the following questions in one paragraph for each. use specific examples from the text to support your responses.

1. there is a set of twins on the island named sam and eric. however, when describing them, golding regularly refers to them as samneric. how does this way of describing the twins relate to their behavior and the way that readers understand their characters? what examples of their behavior readers see that samneric is really the appropriate way to refer to them?

2. as the boys set out to search for the beast, ralph allows jack to lead the way, and he sinks to the back of the pack, " to have escaped responsibility for a time." what does this moment lead you to infer about ralph and about his feelings about being the group’s leader? what does this moment foreshadow?

3. while part of the party searching for the beast, simon realizes that the notion of the beast that the other boys have does not make sense. a beast sitting atop a mountain with claws, a beast who did not leave tracks, could have easily caught the twins. simon has a different picture of the beast: "there rose before his inward sight the picture of a human at once heroic and sick." how does this picture relate to the beast that samneric saw? how does it relate to what simon said earlier about the beast being "only us"?
