Personal Legend

I am doing my paper on the personal legend. I want to look into Santiago's personal legend and how thing effect it. As he travel are the people that help him along part of his personal legend. If all the omen are something that really effect it and guide you or if they just make those things a bigger thing than they are. I also want to look into the authors personal legend, if the book is part of his personal legend.

Response to Alchemist by Paulo

I notice two things. One I like is how when the guy notices things that are going good he will try new things. I think that is a good way of going about things. I liked that. The other thing I like is the boys creation of the crystals. I liked the idea of the crystal tea. That is quite funny but a very creative idea, but I didn't understand how the owner didnt want to do it yet he still did. That part didnt quite make sense. The book seems to be getting interesting and interesting with time.

Comparison Between the Movie and Book

There were some big difference between the book and the movie. Alice for one main thing was at least 17 in the movie while in the book she is a young age probably around 7. I did like the movie a little more though just because it helped explain somethings. Like the Hatter, knowing he was made like they expressed the book was not very clear but the book made it clear to you and so what the Hare, which were quick funny. As in the book Alice is not being chase by the queens and she is just walking through until she final meet the queen, while in the movie Alice is always being chase and is being hid by the Hatter. All in all I like read the book first and watching the movie after, otherwise it might have ruined the way the book went, and probably won't have keep me so interested.

A View In My Eyes

Hello All,

My name is the Cheshire Cat, or that is what I am called. As you may have figured, I am a cat from Alice in Wonderland, a wonderfully happy cat, yet mysterious. I am love cat and will never be seen without a smile on my face, yet some still will fear me. But enough about me, let me tell you about Alice. I first meet in the Duchess' house, where sweet little Alice came in. She seemed bewildered as she came in, she must have seen the Footman. Everyone always make those funny looks after seeing him, but continuing on. She then spotted the Duchess and starts to talk to her. I just sat quietly with a grin on my face. But then, oh my, Alice noticed me. She noticed my grin. That really is my best feature you know (starting to blush). Oh but the duchess wont continue talk to her about me, shucks. That must be because she is worried about her game of croquet with the queen, well I'll introduce myself later. Sorry, back to Alice, she continues to look around strangely and ponder. Oh that dang baby is now in her arms. She is quite surprised by this, yet not as surprise as a sudden bang, made by the chef, who just threw a pan at the duchess but missed. Alice then turn and walked out the door with the baby in hand. I knew I must follower her to see if the baby was actually a pig. So I snuck along and jump in a tree just a little ways in front of her. Then all of a sudden just as I expected, the baby turned into a pig, as I expected. I at this point startled Alice once she saw me up in my tree, but I sat quietly until she spoke. When she spoke it was in such a nice voice, wonder where to go. I asked where she would like to go, but all she cared was that she got someplace. So I decided to direct towards the March Hare. We proceed to talk about her being mad and Wonderland being mad, strange talk to be having with that young of girl. Short nice conversation as she walked, until she came to the March Hare where I let her go. What a great girl she was. One I had enjoyed, such a short talk though. Oh well, I'm sure I will see her again.

Aspects About Lewis Carroll's Crazy? Life

Lewis Carroll, writer of Alice in  Wonderland, was viewed in two different ways. Mostly because he was known by two different names. The people who knew him as Lewis Carroll, knew him as a young acting writer who has matured. While others knew him as Charles Lutwidge, a mathematician. Although some people knew him as a mathematician named Charles, I'm going to focus on the Lewis person.

The reason he had to names was because when he was going to publish Alice in Wonderland, he didn't know how it was going to turn out or how people were going to see it. Also he didn't want it to effect the way they perceive his math work. Which was a good thing, because a lot of people think he was on something when he wrote this book, which could be the case. It is also rumored that he was a child lover (for kinder words). This however was never proven, so can't be established. There is also talk about him maybe having Epilepsy. This again was not proved. So some of these idea could have happened but this its something that will never really be known.

Favorite Book

My favorite book is The Old Man and the Sea. I read this book my junior year of high school. It was a pretty easy to read and is a short book, but I really enjoyed it. The thing that I liked the most about this book was that it was about fish. Pretty weird attention drawer but that was one of the main reasons. I liked how the old guy never gave up, as well. He just kept working to pull the fish in and kept trying to make it back to shore. It sort of shows that you can do what you put your mind too.
