Reading Week 13: Through the Looking Glass Extra Reading

Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There, by Lewis Carrol

I want to do this week's story about a girl who winds up in a Nursery Rhyme book.  I figured looking into Alice would be a good idea, because she gets into a similar situation.

Looking-Glass House
Alice has theories about Looking glass house, which is like a parallel dimension that is through a mirror that is a mirrored version of her actual house.  It would be fun to write a story about a girl who believes that characters from stories have their own little world within books

The Jabberwocky poem is one of my favorites.  It is dark yet silly, and you can only read it while holding it up to a mirror. 

Tweedledum and Tweedledee
these are actually characters in one of the nursery rhymes

Humpty Dumpty
he is also a nursery rhyme, but apparently it is also a riddle.  you are supposed to guess that he is an egg.

My Own Invention
A part that is left out of this story is the Lion and the unicorn, which is also a nursery rhyme

Queen Alice

Shaking and Waking
Alice Woke up from her dream

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 abou...
