Meaning Of The Poem Lewis Carroll
670 words
In Lewis Carroll's Jabberwocky the use of
imagination is a must. Carroll makes up words with
rhyming sounds. This confuses the reader a little,
but strangely enough you get some kind of an idea
of what he is writing about. This is where the
imagination comes in. When I heard these bizarre
rhyming words for the first time my initial
thought was that this poem doesn't make any sense.
As I read on and certain words would go through my
head, bells started going off, filling my head
with ideas about ...

Human Beings Human Spirit

our thoughts has been the idea that the self is
the capacity to have capacities. Through what we
have read, written about, and discussed, we have
been trying to come up with our own answers to the
questions about the self; what a capacity is, how
we find them, which ones are essential to human
flourishing, what we do with them once they are
found? Yet all of these questions lead us to
answer that final and defining question of 'what
is the 'truth'...

Alice Adventures In Wonderland Hallucinogenic Drugs

The Dreams of Alice Many people have argued that
hallucinogenic drugs influenced Lewis Carroll's
novel Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. However,
upon closer observation, the story more closely
resembles the experiences people have while
dreaming, rather than while under the influence of
drugs. There are numerous examples throughout the
novel which support the idea that it is based on
dreamlike experiences. The first example of how
the story relates to dreams is in the beginning as
