    When she enters London, she changes into her own person who makes her own decisions. Alyss says, “Yes, it was a solution: Give up her so-called ridiculous, fantastical delusions and enter wholeheartedly into the world around her. Become just like everyone else.” (Beddor 89) Alyss was first being thought of as a crazy person with a story that no one believed. Then, she finally gave in to the people around her and agrees with them. She thinks that being like “everyone else” is the solution to her problem. When Alyss sees Dodge for the first time in 13 years, she thinks, “It couldn’t have been him. The man with the scars. It couldn’t have. He didn’t exist.” (Beddor 116) Since Alyss had become free from her fantasy world, she was overwhelmed when she first saw Dodge. Even though she had forgotten her past life, the memory of Dodge was still there. Her mixed emotions and memories of Dodge caused internal conflict within Alyss: “And as she torpedoed up toward the surface, having worked impossibly hard to convince herself that the place about to be seen by her disbelieving eyes didn’t exist, she said the man’s name- Dodge Anders- and water filled her lungs.” (Beddor 120) Alyss tried convincing herself Wonderland did not exist, as she went through the Pool of Tears, but she knew it was real. The only reason she let go of Wonderland is because she wanted to fit in with her other world.

The books have been removed from school shelves, discouraged by churches, and censored by parents.

  • Symbolism, Imagery, and Motif of Harry Potter

    2328 Words  | 5 Pages

    Symbolism is one of the key literary aids in telling the story of Harry Potter. Platform nine and three quarters, the train station from which Harry's adventures begin, could be attributed to Harry symbolically and literally “leaving a troublesome world behind and venturing forth into a fantastic new one.” (Anson “The Trouble With Harry”). The platform is symbolic of a transition, a deliverance from evil and suffering into peace, excitement, happiness, and new horizons. The platform is shrouded in mystery. When Harry first arrives at the train station, he asks a nearby conductor where he can find the oddly numbered platform. The conductor thinks Harry is making a joke, because one knows where it is unless they are a wizard. “But Hagrid, there's no such thing, is there?” (Rowling 89). It is lucky for Harry that he stumbles upon another wizard family on their way to the platform. They show him where the secret platform is hidden.

    Holland makes use of this tense scene with a very minimal mis-en-scene, the viewer does not see the interior of the train in any detail, for it is incredibly dark. Neither does the viewer see any of the faces of those that are talking, just darkness. Instead of using dramatic music and intricate camera work to establish the tone of the film, Holland uses the sound of the train on the tracks, the darkness of the train car, and the whispers of Rosa, pleading with her daughter to let go of her doll and jump out of the moving train. Presumably her husband pulls her away, and just as the train is passing through a tunnel, pushes her out of the car and into the forest with a scream. The scene then cuts to Leon visiting his old employer in town and the movie properly
