__**Pre-test essay.**__ The story //Alice in Wonderland// has helped me understand myself and others. It may seem odd but it has. I gre up hating the way my family did things and being told what to do and when to do things, much like Alice in the story. After reading different versions of //Alice and Wonderland// I started understanding myself.

I am much like Alice. I'm curious, independent, and don't tolerate being bossed around. In the story, Alice is bored of real life, like myself, and she dreams of a world oppositeof reality. I spend majority of my time thinking of my own world where everything isn't anything like real life. We wouldn't have any rules, no school, we already know everything we need to know, and we never have to pay for anything. Reading //Alice in Wonderland// and seeing the movie, my perspective changed and I learned a lot. First, I am exactly like Alice. Second, everything wouldn't be as great and perfect the way I picture and amazing life.

If we didn't have rules there would be chaos. If we didn't have to go to school, we wouldnt have any friendsbecause that's where majority of our friends are made. If we never needed to pay for anything, we would have no jobs and then where would we get out needs and wants?

//Alice in Wonderland// made me realize everything is how it is for a reason. And now that's the motto I now live by. I still day-dream of a life like I would love, but i still know that I should be grateful for how my life is.
