        I love Alice's Adventure in Wonderland when I was a young kid.  I bought everything with Alice portraits on it.  But I never think that this book is far beyond my imagination.  At first, I thought this book just like a kid, and I only saw the facade of it.  However, after reading it clearly, I could finally understand the reason why it was called an amazing book.  I think I can gradually look into the meaning of Alice's Adventure in Wonderland was because that I grew up just like Alice did in wonderland.  When I was a child, this book was only about a girl falling asleep, having an wonderful dream, and finally woke up.  What I care about the book was the creative portraits in it, long neck Alice, Cheshire Cat with smiling mouth, White Rabbit in suits.  These were all seemed to be the attraction to me.  And still, they are now, yet there is more than weird pictures.
        Alice's Adventure in Wonderland talked about a girl who gradually grew up in her journey.  I could see clearly how she grew.  In the beginning, she was only a child timidly doing anything.  Fortunately, she had the best thing of a kid, curiosity.  It was the curiosity that led her to the following adventure.  In my opinion, the more we grow, the less curiosity we own.  We are afraid of everything unknown in our life mainly just because we know too much.  We dare not to risk, to dream, and to imagine.  However, these were exactly what helped Alice grow in her adventure.  I am a total control-freak, which means that I am the person that will never do something I'm not sure about it.  I double (even triple) check everything I'm going to do to make sure the result will always be the same as I think.  I once thought that it was a great character of me.  But in the other hand, I'm lacking of curiosity.  Thus, I think curiosity is one of the point of the book.
        What's next?  I think it was the positive feature of Alice.  Alice was much more braver than the little girl she used to be in the beginning.  It was because of her positive.  Although she failed to do a lot of thing after drinking the "drink me" bottle, she still believed that there must had been something interesting happen drinking or eating those magical things.  She did not let the previous failures stop her from moving forward to the next step.  This is what I can never do.  I always cannot help but caring too much.  If I fail on a certain thing, I will choose to avoid it instead of confront it the next time.  I know it is not a proper deed, yet I just too negative to do it again.  I should be more optimistic like Alice.  Even though things usually went worse after she drank the liquid, she drank it each time she saw it.  There is a sentence learn to tell myself when something bad occur on me, "it will not be worse than this."  It maybe sounded negative, but every time I tell myself this sentence, it gives me courage to move on since that I believe the situation I meet at the moment is the worst, it can never be worse than that.  It helps, indeed.  Therefore, be positive is another lesson I learned from Alice.
        Actually this book told us more than what  I wrote of course.  When we were doing the research, we found that every chapter hid something meaningful behind the story.  We couldn't help but accomplish every time we realized something new in this book, and admired how tricky and clever the author was.   This is how it ought to be when reading  I think, you learn something, and you enjoy the happiness of learning.  We did, we were joyful when trying to figure out more about a sentence in this book and when doing this presentation.  Alice's Adventure in Wonderland is the book that you will reflect differently in different age.  Here is my reflection in my twenties, maybe or certainly, I will write something different when I read it again in my thirties.  Let's stay curious and positive about it!
