             Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland

This is a story about Alice,  who was having a boring afternoon with her sister under a tree. She saw a rabbit wearing lens and a suit. Chasing after the rabbit, she fell into a rabbit’s hole to the wonderland. I think the author wrote this story because he might have a similar dream which led him into writing this story. The purpose of this story was to tell us about the adventure that Alice had been through. The author might be someone who was a fan of fantasy stories and a child book’s writer. This book is for anyone who enjoys this kind of stories, especially children. This is a subjective story, mainly made up of fictious characters.

The story began from Alice and her sister taking a rest under a tree. Then a rabbit with a watch on his hand and wearing a suit ran by. Alice chased after it out of curiosity, but fell into the rabbit’s hole and to the wonderland by accident. She first found herself inside a dark room. She found a key, and opened up a tiny door which led to a garden, but she was too huge to fit in. Then she drank a bottle wrote “drink me” on the top. A few seconds later, she shrunk into a size that couldn’t fit through the door. But the door was now at a tall place that Alice couldn’t get to, so she wandered off to another way. She met a caterpillar, who told Alice that she could change her size by eating the mushroom on the sides of the road. She met the Cheshire cat and the duchess. She went to the mad hatter’s tea party. Last, she played with the card queen and king in the croquet games and got herself into a judgement of who stole the tart. In the middle of all that, Alice became larger and larger. Finally, she lost consciousness. When she woke up, she found herself napping under the tree where she and her sister took a rest. Everything seemed to be a dream.

After reading the story, I thought it was very magical, like all the characters that appeared in the story, the rabbit, the cheshire cat, the caterpillar and the card queen. They were something that we wouldn’t be able to see in the real life. This story involved all of them, so I enjoyed this story a lot because I was a fantasy fan, too. I wish one day I could go on an adventure as exciting as the one that Alice went through.
