When i think about how Alice can relate to 2016 something instantly clicked in my head. I said Alice relates to females when we’re on our menstrual cycle because our emotions can be all over the place. I think it also relates to middle schooler because in the beginning everything is hard. You’re left wondering how females saying how they got there period already, so you’ll start thinking “when will i get mine?”, “why does everyone else have one and i don’t?” You’ll feel weird emotions during this. When it comes to middle schoolers then you’re left with “When will I make friends?” “Why is this so hard?” Things like that. I found it weird how bipolar Alice is acting throughout the chapter. She was crying at first. Then she was trying to figure out if she changed for anybody. Then she was crying again. After that she was working on math and geometry which she was getting wrong. I wanted to say to she is going through puberty but it's more than that. She like a middle schooler going through puberty. Not only is she being extremely emotional, she is still adapting to an new environment. This is happening a lot in 2016. It’s not only females who feel like this when they first go to middle school, everybody gets scared at this point in life, and it’s not just middle school when you feel like this. You can feel like this when you're a new student at a new school leaving your friends. I think that everything we’ve talked about can relate with anxiety. I say this because when you’re going through anything you instantly have all of these thoughts running through your mind nonstop. . In chapter 2 Alice grows.which causes a rush of emotions for her She tries various things to calm herself down. The rabbit reappears with a pair of white gloves and a fan and then she shrinks. This connects to 2016 because everyone around this age of as of 9-12 goes through a rush of emotions.

I agree with answer. This all relates to Alice because she has mixed emotions. Can you tell me more about your picture and what it represents? ~Kattya Decembre
ReplyDeleteOur picture means confused. We've talked about archetypes and what colors means, well grey means confused. Which is why i thought this would be a great picture to post for this blog.
DeleteIn my opinion I strongly support your connection, only thing I think it needs is a summary for other who didn't read chapter 2 can better understand your connection. -Jason
ReplyDeleteThank You.
DeleteCould you explain how your picture relates to your summary and real world connection?
ReplyDeleteOur picture relates to the summary because grey means confused, and in Chapter 2 Alice experiences a lot of confusion, maybe even more than she could handle.
DeleteI think that how you both related Alice to how some women act while they're on there menstrual cycle because there emotions are all over the place.
