Paper Topic*

I am going to write about the "Dream" aspect of both of the books. I'm going to try to explain how Alice is dreaming but while she is dreaming she is growing as a person. In the Alchemist I am going to talk about his "Personal Legend."

The Alchemist

In this story I see a lot going on. The boy changes his decision a quite a bit. He sets his mind on working and when he has got enough money to buy back his flock he desides to leave. But then he desides maybe he will not go back to his flock and go ahead for the treasure. He goes back and forth in his mind debating to himself which would be better to do. I also noticed how the king shows up more than the boy realizes.

Lewis Carroll

Lewis Carroll was born as Charles Lutwidge Dodgson on January 27th, 1832 in Daresbury, Cheshire. He had seven sisters and three brothers. He died on January 14th, 1898. His family lived in an isolated village. He liked to invent games to keep his family and himself amused. He attended Richmond School for a year, and Rugby School for 5 years. He is the author of a number of math books under the name Charles Lutwidge Dodgson. He later went by his pen name, Lewis Carroll. In 1865 his book Alice's Adventures in Wonderland was published.

Favorite Book!

When I was in high school I never really read much, so I don't really have a favorite bood. But if I were to choose I would have to say that my favorite is Chimps Don't Wear Glasses. When I was in 1st and 2nd grade our teacher would read to us everyday, and she would always read this book. I used to look up to her and it was her favorite book too so it just kinda stayed with me. I will always love this book.
