December blog- The Looking Glass Wars

The Looking Glass Wars
Significance
I think this work matters because it influeces imagination and determination.
I chose this piece because I knew it would be funny. But it turned out to be a really good story too.
Supposition-Suppose Alyss never went back to Wonderland. The story would be much different. The queen Red would go on in her extreme monarchy, and Alyss would marry the prince of England. Wonderland would have no hope.
Evidence-
The people in the book say them selves that as long as Alyss remained alive, there would still be hope for Wonderland. I think that the argument that the author was trying to make is that imagination is a source of learning, not a childish burden. That is because the powerful thing about the queens in Wonderland is their imagination.
Perspective-
Well, the book is an over done spoof of Alice in Wonderland. So the writer of the book had to have known about the story Alice in Wonderland before writing it. The writer probably was trying to make it funny and unique.
Connection-
A connection to the real world in this book is that Alyss as a child is very foolish and uses her unique and powerful imagination against people that she is mad at. It sounds exactly like what I suppose a child would to if it were capable of turning its imagination into real life.
