Hi again! These next few posts will be about the book Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. Actually, his real name was Charles Dodgson, but he was afraid someone would do something to him, since he was a math teacher and Alice in Wonderland is a book for children. I know that’s very unfair, but it won’t help to say more about it. I am doing a project about the book. I won’t say anything about the book, because there’s a lot of other things to write about. You can buy the book yourself. This is the part of the project that I’ve done so far. First, I read the book. I read about a chapter a day, give or take a little. I also learned about Charles Dodgson. The name “Alice” comes from a child named Alice Liddell. Mr. Dodgson liked telling her stories. Then, one day she suggested that he write the stories down. He did, and he called the book Alice in Wonderland. This is what it looked like:

Actually, the book sold about fifty copies before Dodgson decided to change it. He tried to get all the copies back, but some people wouldn’t return them. Those fifty copies are worth over $1,000,000 today. Try not to beg for one from me. Who knows? Someone might be selling one on ebay. Anyway, he made another version of the book. This one was slightly different. It’s the copy that we have today.

After I learned about Dodgson, I started a project for Alice comics. I am making them with c16rb. Everyone in my class is making comics for one or two chapters. I am making comics for chapters eleven and twelve: Who stole the tarts? and Alice’s Evidence. Remember, this is only stage one. I’ll write another post about this when I’ve made more progress. But I’ll end this one right here. Bye!
