The Looking-Glass was a fun unit to explore because it
brought me back to my childhood. I haven’t seen the Disney movie Alice and Wonderland in years, so the
stories were a good reminder of the plot and characters. I liked how this unit
was split up into little sections so some stories were all connected while all
of the stories fit into the same theme. My favorite story of the unit was Tweedledum and Tweedledee because the
two little men were so clever with their poetry and remarks. At points, they
were a little annoying and immature, but that is what made the story so
excellent. I understood who the characters were after just one or two stories
about a simple conversation.
After read the title of the unit, I would have had no idea
what the stories were about unless I had read the little description under the
title. When I read there would be some stories about Tweedledee and Tweedledum
and Humpty Dumpty, I knew I wanted to read more. I read the author’s note and realized the title comes from
the world Alice explores. This was a great piece of information to include
because I would have been unsure what the title meant without it.
I also noticed in the little summary of the unit, the name “Tweedledum
“ is spelt with an “e” at the end. I am pretty sure that letter that needs to
be deleted. That is the only part I would change though, and even that isn’t a
huge deal because I still understood who the character was because of his outlandish
and memorable name.
I left the unit wanting to go watch the cartoon version of Alice and Wonderland. I actually haven’t
seen the more recent version with Johnny Depp, so now might be the best opportunity
for me to watch it since the story is on my mind.
