Reflection:

              Almost every children read the fairy tale named Alice's adventures in wonderland when they were just 6 or 7 years old and so do I. When I was a little girl, I read Alice. I was falling in love with Alice at that time. In that time I love Alice not only because I love the clothes that Alice wears but also the story. I wanted to become another Alice. So, I raised a little rabbit and hoped one day he can take me to adventure in wonderland. Now I am a 19 years old girl. When  I read this book again, I have different feelings. In the beginning, Alice was sitting by her sister on the bank. Then she saw a rabbit and she felt curious so she chased by the rabbit. Then Alice fell down in the hole. When she stopped falling, she saw a bottle labelled "drink me" .Then she drank it and shrank. Then she eat a cake labelled "eat me ". Then she ate it and became big. Alice became very big so she was unhappy. Then, she cried so her tears became a river. She swam in her tears and met the mouse. Time flies by, more and more animals were swept away by the rising water so they decided to tell a dry joke in order to let the water dry. The white rabbit appeared again in search of the Duchess's gloves and fan.After that,  Alice met a blue Caterpillar smoking a hookah. This caterpillar told Alice that one side of the mushroom will make her taller and the other side will make her shorter.  A Fish-Footman had an invitation for the Duchess of the house, which he delivered to a Frog-Footman. Alice became a guest at a "mad" tea party along with the March Hare, the Hatter.Alice left the tea party and entered the garden, where she came upon three living playing cards painting the white roses on a rose tree red because The Queen of Hearts hated white roses. Then, the Queen of Hearts dismissed her with the threat of execution and she introduced Alice to the GryphonThe Mock Turtle and the Gryphon danced to the Lobster Quadrille, while Alice recited"'Tis the Voice of the Lobster". Alice attends a trial in which the Knave of Hearts was accused of stealing the Queen's tarts. Then, Alice was called up as a witness. She accidentally knocked over the jury box with the animals inside, and the King ordered the animals to be placed back into their seats before the trial continues. The Queen shouted her familiar "Off with her head!" but Alice was unafraid, calling them out as just a pack of cards, just as they start to swarm over her. Alice's sister waked her up from a dream, brushing what turned out to be some leaves, and not a shower of playing cards, from Alice's face. Alice left her sister on the bank to imagine all the curious happenings for herself. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland inspired me with its fascinating, persuasive and authoritative in tone. The beauty of this story is that it allows us to have a lot of imagination about it. Many best-sellers does not have such a strong influence on me as it. I must recommend it as one of my favorites. It opens up my mind to discover the concept of Wonderland and know why it is the so-called "fantasy work." With 100 percent sure, this book is definitely will be read again and again in order to enrich my vision about Wonderland and create my own Wonderland.
