Analysis Essay | Wonderland Project For what is the use of a book...without pictures or conversations?Final Project
At the beginning of the novel, young Alice tells the reader of her boredom over her sister’s book: “For what is the use of a book...without pictures or conversations?” As the reader, we saw the juxtaposition of literature and images used throughout the telling of Alice’s journey. For this project, you will also create your analysis of Alice’s journey through Wonderland using both written text and visual images. Essential Questions There is not one specific way to write this novel. It simply must be an analysis from start to finish. What you analyze throughout Alice's journey in Wonderland is up to you as individual writers. The questions below are meant to provide inspiration when you need it; they are not set in stone.
Writing Component Construct an essay that exemplifies your understanding of Alice’s journey through Wonderland by responding to some of the essential questions listed above. The essay itself should be at least five full analysis paragraphs long. By the end, you must have constructed an explanation that connects Alice to the world we know and understand - What is the thing we, as the readers, are supposed to take away from Wonderland? What are we supposed to understand about life? Analysis Paragraphs
Visual Component Throughout our journey with Alice in Wonderland, we met a variety of characters - the White Rabbit, the Caterpillar, Cheshire Cat, the Queen of Hearts, etc. With each character met, we discussed their behaviors, the ways in which Alice responded to them, and finally, what we felt they represented within the context of Alice’s journey. They became symbols and archetypes for us to consider in the world. Your final essay product must contain visual ideas and symbols in the shape of a map that portray any combination of these characters and their relationship to your essay AND Alice’s journey through Wonderland. These images can be self-created or take the form of images and gifs from the internet. If you choose to use images and gifs from the internet, you must create a works cited at the end of your essay and cite all images appropriately. Otherwise, you are plagiarizing.

Your Travel Journal is a document that records your ideas, thoughts, and reflections about the world around you. Entries to the journal will be connected to topics and questions that we study and discuss in class. As with all the writing you encounter in World Literature, your journal should be thought-provoking, insightful, and descriptive in nature. However, this does not mean that it is done solely in the written form; it may include visuals, collages, symbols, etc. In short, the journal is a place to sift through your many thoughts about the past, present, and future states of the World in order to consider your role as a Global Citizen.
