In reading through texts about “Bad Girls and Bad Boys,” one will uncover that the theme of rule-breaking holds extreme significance. These works of literature are categorized as such not only because the characters themselves break rules, but the authors do as well, through style and word choices. The best example of this comes from the writing of Lewis Carroll within his creation of Wonderland. His poem “The Jabberwocky” is recited by Alice in the second half of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland

brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe: All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe. "Beware the Jabberwock, my son! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun The frumious Bandersnatch!" He took his vorpal sword in hand: Long time the manxome foe he sought-- So rested he by the Tumtum tree, And stood awhile in thought. And, as in uffish thought he stood, The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame, Came whiffling through the
vocabulary throughout the poem. Carroll believed in enhancing meaning by combining words to take on the meaning that each word would have separately, a sonic device known as portmanteau. Combining the words “fuming” and “furious” to make the “..frumious Bandersnatch,” Carroll continues to use “home-made” words throughout the poem, mixing them with common words that tell the story of the “Jabberwock” beast. Although the reader doesn’t know what every word means, the reader does understand the sound that follow
Auteur Theory ” … an auteur is able to maintain a consistency of style and theme by working against the constraints of the Hollywood mode of production.” – Warren Buckland (2008) Auteur translated into English means Author.

off, they both are in forests, this is what brings us to our next topic. Forests typically have animals, but these forests are special, they have crazy animals. In Jabberwocky, these animals are referred to as a jabberwocky, a jubjub bird, and a bandersnatch. In The Lorax the animals are referred to as a swomee swan, humming fish, and bar-ba-loots.
