Reading Log : Alice In Wonderland

1. How does the text related to the theme of a journey?
The book's tittle is Alice in Wonderland. The story in this text stated clearly the journey of a
girl called Alice. In the beginning of the story, Alice literally went on a journey to a very different world for her. She went to the different world after following a talking rabbit into a rabbit hole. She traveled in the new world alone and at first she is very scared and started crying. But after a few moments, she stopped crying because she thinks that crying is not making the situation better. She went to many different place in the Wonderland and met many talking animals and weird looking people. But in the end of the story, all of the journey is only a dream but that dream seemed so real for her and it gave her many good morals in life.

2. What is the main issue in the text?
The main issue in the text is the differences in human behavior according to place and their status. The poorer lives under the power of the richer and the powerful person such as the queen have the rights to do everything as she wishes. This differences is the main challenge for Alice on how to cope or to react in those condition.

3. What quality do you admire or dislike in the character?
The quality that I can see in Alice is that she is very determined to get something and never give up. She also has a strong personality and do not change even though the condition arround her is very different and challenging. She stays with her oppinion even though it will cause her so much trouble and she is very enthusiastic.She keep on asking question when people are telling stories because she is very enthusiastic. She is very determined because she do many things just because she wanted to go to the beautiful garden that she saw in the beginning of the story.

4. How does the text develop your understanding of the world?
The main character of the story,which is Alice and the story itself told me many things about the world.We should not expect that people behavior will be the same as in our hometown when we go somewhere else and do not expect that people will treat us like we were being treated at home. The text also shows that we should not change the way we think just because other people acting differently from us. What we need to do is to cope with their ways and respect their ideas and avoid breaking the rules in the place we stay.
