Reading Notes: Alice in Wonderland: Part A

(Rabbit Hole by Richard Webb
 

Down the Rabbit Hole by Lewis Carrol:

Characters: Alice, Sister, Rabbit

Alice: Young girl, very curious, her mind wanders a lot, should really be more cautious, but does not seem to care much.

Sister: very very inattentive. needs to pay more attention to where her sister has been. 

Rabbit: not a punctual person. should work on time-management. 

Plot: Alice is sitting outside her house with her sister. The sister is busy reading a book that looks really boring to Alice because it has no pictures or conversations. She is thinking about making a flower crown but sees a rabbit. This rabbit is very flustered because he is late for something and checks the time on his pocket watch that he got from his waistcoat. Alice thinks this is weird so she tries to tail the rabbit. this leads her to the rabbit hole and she just jumps in. She then starts to fall. She falls for a very long time. There are cupboards all around her and she doesn't know what's happening. Eventually, when she's about to fall asleep, she lands in a hay bale very stunned, but not injured. she sees the rabbit hopping away. She follows and sees that there's a table. The table has a key and she finds a small door for it. She looks in the door and sees a window that leads to a beautiful garden. She goes back to the table and finds a bottle. she drinks it and becomes small. She doesn't wanna be but then finds a cake and eats it and she becomes really strange. She then balances it out by eating the rest of the cake to get back small.

Setting: Outside some farmhouse and in the rabbit hole. I don't think I'll change anything about this right now. 

What I Could Change: I could look at this story from the sister's perspective. Maybe she just looked up from her book and saw her sister jumping into a hole and didn't think anything about it. Then, after a while, she realizes that something is very wrong.

Introduction to Zeeshawn Beg

Hi! I'm Zeeshawn, a Microbiology major, med school hopeful, and computer enthusiast. I was born in Pakistan and my family immigrated to Oklahoma when I was just a couple months old. I still love to watch cricket. I can't see it live though because of the time zones it's always early in the morning.  ("Wahab Stuns Hosts! | England vs Pakistan Match Highlights | ICC Cricket World Cup 2019" at youtube ) One of my favorite classes has been Chinese Literature. I had never really learned much about Chinese history, so this class really opened my eyes and helped me understand recent history. The book/story that affected me the most in that class was the Iron Child by Mo Yan.  I've also been trying to learn to draw. The idea of being able to create something has really motivated me and especially being able to see great art anytime on the internet has helped fuel this. I've been using drawabox  to learn the fundamentals and I feel like I've made some progress.

Week 7 Story: The Devil's Lair

( Jomblang Cave by Thomas Fuhrmann)   The Devil's Lair The Monkey King Sun Wu Kong stood before the mighty entrance of the Devil-King's lair. He had taken Sun Wu Kong's kin and had to be put in his place. This could not be forgiven. As the Monkey King entered the underground chamber, the servants of the Devil-King trembled. Sun Wu Kong's terrible rage and battle prowess was well known. They didn't know if even their own King could defeat him.  "Hey!" bellowed the stone ape, "Give me back my kids!!" evidently he wanted to try negotiation first. Stammering, the Devil-King responded, "Wait don't you want to fight me?" He had not expected the legendary Sun Wu Kong to reason before using his brawn. "Of course, but I'm trying to control myself so they don't have to see your sorry state after I'm done with you." The Devil-King didn't even know how to react. He just stared in disbelief. "How could he be so ca
