Alice in Wonderland
Umm.... i have only gotten to chapter 4.. but i was really confused with the numbers that was referring to the bottom.. But it is a very good book . i like this quote from page 29, "I almost wish i Hadn't gone down that rabbit-hole -and yet - and yet - it's rather curious, you know, this sort of life!......when i used to read fairy tales, i fancied that kind of thing never happened and here i am in the middle of one." i like this quote because it show the curiousity of little kids and also older people. i said older people too because everyone is always courious about something that is how we discover things. idon't know about you guys but some time i get confused on what is happening.. but it does have lots of magic in it. i don't read fantasy book much. i got confuse why the catilpiller had her repeat that little story or ryhm. i don't like reading this book.

Briar Rose Reading
I am glad to be done with analyizing what Zipes thinks is a good children's book and actually reading a book.
The person who is suppose to be our lead blogger i think dropped the class, so i am going to do it again , but it won't be too long. I have class, but i wanted to get this out so you guys had time to respond.
I really do like the Briar Rose. I love that it's modern and up to date and i love that the characters are relateable. I really have no idea why they call their grandma "Gemma" but that is neither here nor there. I really do enjoy that this a modern day fairy tale sleeping beauty with a girl on this journey to find out the truth about this fairy tale that her grandmother told her all throughout her life. Reading this book reminds me of reading a memoir of some kind of tragic time. More like a memoir of the Halocaust.
I love that Gemma pretty much lets Rebecca know that Briar Rose is her ...in so many ways, by telling her the story will come true. Her sisters pretty much dismiss her grandmother like she is just old and rambling so whatever she says doesn't really hold to anything. I am really enjoying this book and this journey that i am able t go on as Rebecca discovers her past.
