Thesis: my paper will be a critical analysis over the book of Alice in Wonderland and some overview of the author.
Through the story of “ Alice in Wonderland “ Alice sees this place as a realm in which she will wake up at any moment and that nothing in this place can hurt her, she sees her surroundings as figments of her imagination, a mirage if you will. As the story gets deeper and deeper in changes and outcomes she defeats incredible feats where the possibility of death is just taking a backseat in her min, but all of a sudden it comes to her attention that death is major outcome in some of the actions that she takes.

The end of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland includes one additional scene. After Alice wakes up, she tells her adventures to her sister. Alice herself runs off gleefully, and for a moment the reader is left alone with the sister, recalling all the strange characters and weird happenings of Wonderland. Carroll uses the sister as a guide for the reader, teaching the reader how to appreciate Alice's imagination even while realizing that it's just a fantasy.
