Book Report

The plot in this book is very attractive. Let me put it this way, it is not only a book but also a story about adventure.. And it is a fairy tale about daydream, too. I love this book.

 Alice is a little simple girl. She was sitting under a tree at first. Then she saw a white rabbit and ran after it, the rabbit jumped into a rabbit-hole and so did Alice. She fell down and down and came to a different place called ‘Wonderland’. Everything was strange there. She saw the bottle which said ‘Drink me’  and drank it, her size changed. That was really exciting!

Alice also met some birds and took part in a strange race called Caucus race. It was funny because everybody started to run at different times and stopped at different times too. After the race, the birds said goodbye to Alice and went away. Alice walked and walked, she met the white rabbit again but it did not recognize her, it called her ‘Mary Ann’ and asked her to bring its hat for it. Alice was afraid and would like to get bigger, so she found some strange mushrooms for dinner. She talked to the caterpillar which was sitting on the top of the mushroom. At last the big caterpillar told Alice ‘Eat the mushrooms you will change you size.” And then it vanished.

　　After that, Alice went to her adventure. She met Duchess, the Cherish Cat. The Cherish Cat was very strange. It had a smile on its face. What a lovely and different cat! Later, she took part in a tea party and she discussed about time with a mouse and a hare. But actually she thought the tea party was very boring and stupid so she went away and came to a garden. To her surprise, everyone here was only card! The queen of the cards was bad-tempered. If you meet her, you’ll be afraid because she always shouted “Cut off his head! Cut off her head!” And they hold a trial because they thought someone stole the tarts.

　　In the end, Alice found that was only a dream, she was still sitting under the tree.In fact, the story is a dream.But it is not just a dream in some way. It reminds us of something that seems ridiculous but is significant.We may think the word the book shows to us is so weird.Everything can not be illustrated reasonably.However,why not view from the other side?Wonderland is not weird but the world we are in is weird instead.Let's see in the other position,if we are people in Wonderland,don't we think the people outside are too unreasonable?Why do they have to get so many reasons to do a thing?The distinction comes from our lack of the childishness.Once one grows up,he will become kind of profane and utilitarian.Everything he is to do has a reason.That is the matter.The book is somewhat designed for arousing the awareness the keeping the childishness in one's lifetime.

Sadly,I myself am becoming grown-up,too.It is hard to keep the childishness all the time.But I still try,never let it die.And I hope all the world is also trying.The pure, the bright, and the beautiful, these things shall never die.
