Topic Research: Alice

Alice in Wonderland
Alice in Wonderland, Through the Looking Glass

The story of the Queen's Croquet Ground is very interesting.  Alice stands up and is forceful, and the soldiers(cards) seems to start looking at her for direction.  I think that this would be fun in a story, to have characters who follow whoever is the most stubborn and bossy.  

The story "Who stole the tarts" is a wonderful idea.  It takes a nursery rhyme and makes it into a real event.  Are there any nursery rhymes that are free domain?

The idea of the looking glass world is intriguing.  I am wondering, though, why there is not a copy Alice on the other side?  What would it be like if she met her looking glass counter part?  And what if the looking glass was a reflecting pool instead?   

I am also thinking of adding some science fiction in this as well.  Maybe the main character arrives on a new planet by mistake, through a teleportation device or wormhole.

    Hi Kathleen!
    Your ideas for your Alice topic are incredible. I've always loved the story. I especially like the idea of introducing science fiction to the story.

Hello!  My name is Kathleen Taylor.  Just for clarification, my title says "Introduction to a Queen" because queen rhymes with Kathleen, so I tend to pair the two together. I am personally not an actual queen, and it doesn't really have anything to do with my life,  I just think that it sounds nice: "Queen Kathleen" My major is Industrial and Systems Engineering.  Despite it sounding semi long and confusing, my major is simply training me to find the safest, fastest, most cost effective way for going from point A to point B.  This can range from manufacturing car parts to organizing the lines at Disneyland.  The best class that I took last semester was Ergonomics, which is basically the study of improving human machine interface, while also including designing things to cause less wear and tear on the human body.  I would love to have a career that focuses around that; making things and systems better and easier for everyone.  Some random things about m

Story Week 9

There was once a college student named Laurel.  Laurel had spent weeks looking for a roommate.  She noticed a that someone else had put a post on the school’s Facebook page, saying that they also needed a roommate.  Laurel messaged this person, Olivia, and set up a time for them to meet. Laurel asked Olivia some things about herself, and came to find that they had the same major, enjoyed the same TV shows, and liked similar food.  ‘This is perfect!’ thought Laurel, ‘We are equals, this will work.’ Laurel asked Olivia if she would like to move in to the same apartment together, and Olivia accepted.  Laurel and Olivia lived together for a while.  Soon they fell into a routine.  Olivia would give Laurel a ride to school, and would pick up Laurel from her job in the evening.  They would both make dinner, but Olivia would pay for the basic groceries, like butter and milk.    One day, Laurel was talking to her friends about Olivia.  Olivia was upset that Laurel had not d
