Exam 2

Since we just took a test over the second section of the semester...I thought I would do a little re-cap, by reflecting on my favorite parts! The Novels!! I loved the novels. Theres something about little girl books that makes me feel all giddy. =D
First, "The Princess and the Goblin" was my favorite out of them. The fact that it has a Christian background and kind of hidden metaphors is really cool. Coming from a christian background myself, I found it really interesting to go deeper. I liked to look at other ways of looking at how it applied to my own faith. And unfortunately, I am way too much like Lootie. And how Irene grows up and trusts Grandmother is a neat thing to see how she developes.
Second, "Alice in Wonderland" kind of threw me for a loop at first because I was only used to the film version. But as we studied the book, I grew to like it more and more. The variables that Lewil Carrol portrays such as identity, politics, education, and much more; leave me laughing and I don't know why! He turns so many things on its head, literally, that I can't get over how creative it was and how it become SUCH a huge classic! I really had a blast with these novels. Looking forward to our last ones!
