Extra Credit Reading Notes: Down the Rabbit Hole, part 3

Story source: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll (1865).

Down the Rabbit Hole part 3

Plot:

After drinking the potion Alice was only ten inches high. the perfect size to make it through the door. 

She realized that she had forgotten the key on the table. She tried to climb up but she could not. 

Alice then saw a small table with a small cake on it and instructions to eat it. 

Alice ate it and eventually she was tall again. She wasn't just tall though, she was super tall. 

She grabbed the key and opened the tiny door, but she was far too big to make it though.

She eventually noticed a mushroom "about her size" growing next to her.

She looked all around the mushroom and eventually, she looked on top.

When she looked on top she saw a large caterpillar smoking a hookah. 

End.

Thoughts:
This story is incredibly obscure and filled with creativity. I mean who comes up with the idea to meet a giant caterpillar as he is just casually smoking a hookah? It plays on the creativity ad mystery that I think lives in all of us. We long to express that creativity and such a raw expression of creativity is attractive to the masses. This pice serves to challenge me in my writing to get more creative and accept that it's ok to be weird sometimes. In fact, sometimes weird is good!

Unfortunately, I was unable to research in person but I was glad to participate via Zoom. This summer we studied Jewish spirituality and Mysticism in the 21st century. This means we looked at how traditional sects of Judaism viewed their faith as opposed to modern sects. This quickly became a spectrum of each sect identifying on a scale branching from

Rama and Lakshmana ‘dead’ Story source: Indian Myth and Legend by Donald A. Mackenzie (1913).           “R…ama… Rama… can you move?” Said Lakshmana.      “Hardly” replied Rama. “I can’t feel my legs.”      “you think this is the end brother?”      “It is never the end. As long as there is breath in my lounges I won’t stop until Ravana is destroyed. This world has been plagued in darkness long enough Lakshmana, and I intend to stop it, whatever the cost. For the enemy is mighty, this is true, but I am Rama.
