Everyone must be read this novel, "Alice in Wonderland" and it was written by English author Charles Lutwidge Dodgson under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll. It was considered to be one of the best examples of the literary nonsense genre andthis novel was a lasting popularity with adults as well as children. In my mind, I thought "Alice in Wonderland" was a tale with adventures and had many unrestrained and vigorous style that brims with talent plots before I read this novel. In fact, "Alice in Wonderland" was not only a fantasy novel but also a novel with many concepts about an outlook on life.

In this novel, the main character was Alice and the author wrote this novel for her. The story take the growth as the main axle, the growth was a meaning for changing the concept of time in the story. The author wanted to give the guidance moderately to Alice because she grew up and became to be an adult. So the author incarnated the character and its name was Gryphon to give earnest exhortations to Alice. The author implied the concept of time in the story: for instance, Alice became a guest at a "mad" tea party and she was argued the time with others that was the meaning for Alice who was in the really world to think about her concept of time.

Many people may think "Alice in Wonderland" was fulled of fancies. Why the author wrote the novel with many illusions? Because he hoped Alice could keep the utter innocence after she grew up. In the end, the author had been the embodiment of Alice's sister and listened to Alice tell the adventure which she underwent in the dream. Besides, the adults' world did not have fancy but in the children's world, they could cherish an illusion and that was the reason why "Alice in Wonderland" was so popular for everyone.

The structure of "Alice in Wonderland" was very special and the story covered with fancies, logic, philosophy, time, psychology. The chaotic scene and uncertain of characters were qualities of the dream. The cheshire Cat suddenly appeared or disappeared so you can see the strange qualities of a dream character when they appeared or disappeared constantly. The author used many aspects to write the novel and show the meaning to people know. Through the adventures of Alice, the story showed that left the really world and enter different world to obtain growth and self-positioning.
