Well, I loved the topic that we discussed the first couple weeks of class. The fairy tale section of the class was awesome and I found it so interesting. But sadly, this section of class with Alice and Wonderland just doesn't do it for me. It is nothing personal, but I have never been very fond of the story. As a kid it used to scare me. That queen of hearts was pretty intense, and I guess I just never liked the story since. I have heard the story over and over and I thought overtime I might like it, but nothing has changed. It doesn't make sense to me and I just don't like the plot. Sometimes I even get the feeling that the story is a metaphor for drugs. I was doing some background reading on the story and I came across multiple websites all begging the question of whether or not the story had some drug related aspects. It seems to me that certain aspects of the story do involve the use of drugs, though I am still not completely convinced. There have been questions raised at whether or not Alice's adventures were related to the "trip" on drugs. I don't know if it is true, but it certainly seems like it could be.
