Summary:
Fiction: *Character Focus*: What choices has the character made thus far? Do you agree with their decision? Why or why not?
-Alice's decisions thus far have been wise. So far, she's been exploring and wandering around without getting herself into too much mischief. But there are certain decisions with which I disagree. I believe some of her judgments were not quite reasonable or well-considered. Hopefully, she improves as the story progresses.
Fiction: In another place/ time, how would the story change? Where else could the story take place?
-Yes, the novel would be different if the plot was set in a different location. Alice's travels in Wonderland are the subject of this novel. In order for this narrative to happen, it had to take place in Wonderland. If the location was altered, the plot would no longer make sense in my opinion. Therefore this story wouldn't make sense anywhere else

Non-fiction: I found this part interesting because it taught me a lot about the russian history, and how people were punished. this part is rather dark but we can't rewrite the past but reading about it and understanding it is rather interesting.

This book helped me discover that I should never give up on something if I truly believe in it, we should always continue to fight for what we think is right. This book opens imagination, for us to see that some things might not happen, that means we have to make them happen, by doing the right thing/ making the right choices.
