more reading notes: down the rabbit-hole

This week will be my first week doing extra reading. I feel like this is a great opportunity to seek out topics that interest me in my extra time. 

I chose to read a story from the Alice in Wonderland Unit titled, "Down the Rabbit-Hole," by Lewis Carroll.

I honestly haven't seen Alice in Wonderland in forever and can't quite remember all of the details. But, seeing this unit, made me want to go back and rewatch the movie. 

I forgot how Alice was introduced to the rabbit. After reading the start to this story, I see myself in Alice. I was always very curious and would run off after anything that caught my eye when I was little. I'm sure movies like this only inspired me when I was younger.

I forgot how slowly the time passes as she falls into the well. I truly wonder whether she was falling slowly or just delirious from the heat. I'm sure I will go and research more about the theories behind this story once I am done reading it.

I feel like this would have been a very fun unit to do my storybook over as it would give me the opportunity to relive my childhood and break it into more specific details. I may look to see if anyone else in the class did theirs over this unit because I am intrigued and find myself wanting to read on! 

I may continue reading this for my extra credit each week from here on out. Unless I browse through again and something new changes my mind. That's my favorite thing about this course -- we are given the opportunity to continue digging through new topics and learning what peaks out interest.

Well, enough rambling! I just got very excited about this unit and am glad I finally decided to do some extra readings!
