Once Upon A Time: The Mad Hatter

When assigned to write a paper, I gradually turn into the Mad Hatter. In Once Upon a Time, the Mad Hatter, is given the task to help the Evil Queen find something, who in return promises that his daughter will be safe. Like the task given to the Mad Hatter, I am given the task of writing a well written paper, in exchange for a good grade. I begin to adopt the Mad Hatter's psychotic behavior, when writing an essay; I am constantly thinking about the given topic before I begin to write. I gather information and materials or in this case, my hat of tricks. The Mad Hatter is tricked by the Evil Queen and is forced to stay in Wonderland. He is criticized by the Queen of Hearts who tells him that if he was able to get to Wonderland by the help of his hat, he should be able to leave Wonderland with it. Just like The Mad Hatter, I am hit with a road block; or in my case, writer’s block. After typing madly for what seems like hours. I stand up and take a break and perhaps drink some tea to help me become distracted. After a couple of tea breaks, I try to relate my writing to things

Just because I am constantly thinking about what I am going to write, it doesn't mean that I will automatically sit down and just word vomit on a page and just work on “constructing my hats”. It is a long process of just thinking about what I am going to write. I slowly collect phrases and words, just as the Mad Hatter collects fabric for his hats. Another thing that prevents me from writing to the best of my abilities is that once I become so entranced with the actual process writing my paper, I just keep going. I don't go back and correct small intricate details like my grammar or punctuation. In the end, this why my sometimes my “hats” don't end up as eloquent as the one's created by the Mad Hatters', and instead end up with mismatching
