Reading Notes: Alice in Wonderland: Part B

(Flamingos by Valdiney Pimenta)

The Queen's Croquet Ground by Lewis Carroll:

Characters: Alice, Queen of Hearts, King of Hearts, Cheshire Cat

Alice: Still seems to insert herself in other's business. 

Queen of Hearts: Needs to have things going her way. Is very powerful and the Matriarch seems to have the power in this world.

King of Hearts: Tries to keep the Queen kind of reasonable, but usually it doesn't work out that way. 

Cheshire Cat: a source of chaos. can phase into and out of reality. maybe related to Obito


Plot: Alice has left the teas party that was with the Hatter and the March Hare. She sees a garden and some playing cards painting roses red. They tell her it's because the Queen wanted red and they made a mistake. The Queen arrives with her precession and orders the cards heads be cut off. Alice hides them so they're safe. She then goes and plays croquet with the Queen. The clubs are made with a live flamingo and the balls are hedgehogs. This is confusing so Alice finds the Cheshire cat and talks to him. She's about to say a mean thing about the queen but she's right behind her and she changes it to a nice thing. The King then sees the cat and wants it to kiss his hand, but he doesn't. This makes the King get the Queen and have her say to behead it. Alice then goes to try to play croquet again. She looks back and they're arguing about if you can behead a head.


Setting: They're in the Queen's gardens. There's a bunch of ridges in the ground. I don't think the location plays a major part here. 


What I Can Change: This story is pretty strange. I can think the main things I would want to write about would be that Cheshire cat and what he's thinking about when he just phases in and out of reality.

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...

Reading Notes: Week 2 Anthology

The Tiger, The Brahman, The Jackal by Joseph Jacobs in "Indian Fairy Tales." : (Bengal Tiger source ) Characters: A Tiger, Brahman, Jackal, Tree, Buffalo, and a Road. Plot:  The Brahman frees a tiger from a cage, but the tiger wants to eat him. He goes and asks a Tree, Road, and a Jackal if he should accept being eaten. Everyone except the Jackal says he should accept being eaten. The Jackal tricks the tiger into going back into the cage, saving the Brahman.  Techniques that were interesting:  The author build tension by having by having two of the character that the Brahman asks for help tell him to just accept his fate like it's just how the world works. He (author) made it seem like the Brahman would probably have to accept it. Also, how convincing was this tiger, Like having a tiger slave would be cool, but like what were the logistics of it. Why'd he think this was at all a good idea.  Also, I liked that the jackal didn't go right into helping the man out. H...
