This statement is already mocking the citizens of Zenith who are materialistic middle-classmen‚ like Babbitt

Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland The children novel Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is written by Lewis Carroll‚ whom was a lecturer in mathematics at Christ Church in Oxford. Lewis Carroll was a stammer‚ and in company with adults in his own age‚ younger or older‚ he did very poorly. Nevertheless he did really well among children‚ which was how he got to write children’s books. Lewis Carroll was inspired to write Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by one of his children friends‚ named Alice. In

General rules for drawing Lewis structures: 1. Draw only the valence electrons. 2. Give every second-row element no more than eight electrons. 3. Give each hydrogen two electrons. A solid line indicates a twoelectron covalent bond. 4 How to Draw a Lewis Structure Step [1] Arrange atoms next to each other that you think are bonded together
