498 Words2 Pages

"Who in the world am I? Ah, that’s the great puzzle." The quote from Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland describes my current situation well. I’m no special snowflake, just a girl with dreams larger than Jupiter. A girl undecided and excited about the future. I often feel like the famous Alice, falling down a rabbit hole with plenty of time to reflect on what I am to do when I reach my destination. I hope that attending Communication Arts High School will help me with that decision.

I have always been in love with the arts. Creativity is important to me. I’ve told stories all my life and now I’m working on a full-length novel, hoping to get it published someday. Along with my stories I draw character references and sometimes depictions …show more content…

For example, I have volunteered with my church to raise money to build wells in Africa, so that people there can drink clean water and be healthier as a result. It makes me thrilled that somewhere I’ve helped someone, even though they won’t ever know I did anything.

I took the Myers-Briggs test, and discovered that I have an analytical side. This surprised me, since I am more of a creative person. But surprised as I was, I have found it to be true. I am able to read people, analyzing how they feel and what kind of person they are. This helps me avoid accidentally angering someone when they’re already having a bad day, or comfort someone who’s feeling a bit down.

I want to attend CAHS because I believe it will help me prepare for the future. I think it will help me decide what major I want to go into, since I will be experiencing a wider range of subjects than I normally do. Plus, I want to learn how to communicate better, as it is something that I have wanted to improve on for a long time. All of the careers that I would like to go into have some connection to the communication arts, so it is very important to me to develop skill in that

One quote that made me feel is the quote, “The real impact is measured in the widows left behind, the children who will never know fathers or mothers, the names of the fallen etched changed” (Bay Area News Group). This quote makes me feel upset that the children don’t even know their family and get left behind.

I am about halfway though the book, and so far I have several predictions that I am excited to see possibly play out. The first of these is that Alice fled of her own free will the night of her disappearance, and this is a result of her failing marriage. The night of the accident and Alice’s vanishing is told from Virgil’s narrative, and the police are questioning Robert about where Alice is before she had officially been missing, the book says, “I assumed she was with you. His [Gideon’s] face was twisted with grief”(Picoult 77). For some reason- presumably that Alice and Gideon were having an affair- Robert immediately assumed that Alice was without a doubt with Gideon, and Gideon had a reason to be grief-stricken/guilt, which is sufficient

The quote that Christopher includes from The Hound of the Baskervilles definitely relates to his outlook of the world. After doing some research behind the meaning of the quote I discovered that the quote was explaining the fact that Holmes has the capability to observe a multitude of details at once, which is also something that Christopher excels at. This is a fact that I feel even Christopher is aware of since he states, “But most people are lazy. They never look at everything… But if I am standing in a field in the countryside I notice everything.”

To draw further scrutiny to Victorian conventions, Carroll incorporates several languages features and play. Employing the use of the useless educational system in Victorian society, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland depicts several moments within its tale where Alice attempts to conduct herself by reciting facts she learned in school to try and maintain a sense of her life prior to falling down the rabbit hole into the world of Wonderland. The first evidence of this occurring features in the first chapter succeeding her tumble. She begins to wonder how far she has fallen and attempts calculating the exact distance away from the centre of the Earth she is; “let me see: that would be four thousand miles down, I think […] but then I wonder what Latitude or Longitude I’ve got to?”
