“And you are?” “I’m Anpiel, angel of the Lord, at your service, and welcome to the Sanctuary for the Fantastical! Please follow me,” she replied, starting to walk the opposite direction. Of course, Anna’s mind was buzzing with questions. How did she know her name? Why would she even help her? Will they actually get out of this seemingly ongoing field? These questions were obviously rhetorical, especially to you, Reader. They spoke of things having to do with her, mostly about how the two shared an interest in scarves and cute things, as they reached a large building. It glistened slightly in the sun, towering over them. She opened the door and walked in with her, looking around. A light started to flash, a calm green light. A person of unidentifiable gender ran out of the door, and said some unidentifiable word very loudly. As Anna peeked through the door, she saw the person jump on a dragon and fly away. “How did they do that?!” she screamed in surprised. “Oh that?” someone said calmly. “That’s Warren, our founder, supervisor, and show-off of the entire Sanctuary. They’re just grabbing supplies for some of the residents since shipping isn’t working …show more content…
“Who are you I may ask?” He jumped off of her shoulders and replied, “She’s Meredith.” “He’s Glaw,” she followed after as they both bowed and said, “At your service, Ms. Newbie!” They then threw flower petals at her and ran away, flapping their ear fins and snickering. She sighed in relief, glad that those hyper twins were gone. As she sat there, she tried to comprehend and go through the events that had just happened. She got up and wandered around, soon finding herself outside of the apartment building. She climbed up a tree, and fell out of it, realizing she can’t climb trees. She just stayed under the tree, and wondered when she was going to get out of this place. Of course, her home wasn’t perfect, and she wasn’t even staying there for any longer anyway. But, if she went back, she’d be faced with a bunch of questions, and be scolded by her mother, like she always was. But someone interrupted her train of thought. She looked up to see a man with dark skin, who had spots of pale everywhere, which also appeared on the tips of his long, pointy ears. He grinned and sat next to her, combing a hand through his silver hair. “Hello, you must be Anna. I’m Adasser, and it is a pleasure to meet you!” he exclaimed
She started to try and forget and just fall asleep, but her thoughts would always wander too far for her to return to her natural state of mind. She contemplated with herself, why she was running away? What she was running away from?

Lewis Carroll demonstrates paradoxes within Alice and Wonderland as Alice is tossed within an entirely different world. Yet one of the greatest paradoxes is the transformation of Alice over the course of the novel as well as the transformation of the duchess. Alice begins as an ignorant child; she has difficulties in morphing to the logic and needs of Wonder...
Lewis Carroll's Wonderland is a queer little universe where a not so ordinary girl is faced with the contradicting nature of the fantastic creatures who live there. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is a child's struggle to survive in the condescending world of adults. The conflict between child and adult gives direction to Alice's adventures and controls all the outstanding features of the work- Alice's character, her relationship with other characters, and the dialogue. " Alice in Wonderland is on one hand so nonsensical that children sometimes feel ashamed to have been interested in anything so silly (Masslich 107)."
she always used to wish for a way to escape her life. She saw memories
Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland follows the story of young Alice trapped in the world of Wonderland after falling down through a rabbit-hole. The rabbit-hole which is filled with bookshelves, maps, and other objects foreshadows the set of rules, the ones Alice is normally accustomed to, will be defied in Wonderland. This conflict between her world and Wonderland becomes evident shortly after her arrival as evinced by chaos in “Pool of Tears” and Alice brings up the main theme of the book “was I the same when I got up this morning? I almost think I can remember feeling a little different. But if I am not the same, the next question is who am I?” (Carroll 18). After Alice fails to resolve her identity crisis using her friends, Alice says “Who am I, then? Tell me that first, and then, if I like being that person, I’ll come up: if not, I’ll stay down here til I’m somebody else” (Carroll 19). Hence in the beginning, Alice is showing her dependency on others to define her identity. Nevertheless when her name is called as a witness in chapter 12, Alice replies “HERE!” without any signs of hesitation (Carroll 103). Close examination of the plot in Alice in Wonderland reveals that experiential learning involving sizes leads Alice to think logically and rationally. Alice then attempts to explore Wonderland analytically and becomes more independent as the outcome. With these qualities, Alice resolves her identity crisis by recognizing Wonderland is nothing but a dream created by her mind.

Edgar Allan Poe’s 1849 poem, “Annabel Lee”, explores the common themes of romance and death found in many of Poe’s works. The poem tells the story of a beautiful young maiden named Annabel Lee who resides by the sea. The maiden and the narrator of the poem are deeply in love, however the maiden falls ill and dies, leaving the narrator without his beloved Annabel Lee. Contrary to what many might expect from a poem by Poe and yet still depressing, the poem ends with the narrator accepting Annabel’s death and remains confident that they will forever be together despite her parting.
