I stretched my legs and yawned‚ dreading the running I would soon be doing. My dad had the same breakfast menu I had been eating all week waiting for me in the kitchen: banana‚ whole wheat toast‚ skim milk‚ and four ounces of water.

Feminism in Alice in Wonderland During the Victorian Era‚ women were expected to behave in a very prim and proper manner. Tim Burton’s adaptation of Alice in Wonderland is a tale of Alice’s return to Wonderland‚ where she saves Wonderland and herself‚ defying her role as a young woman during the Victorian Era.

Alice In Wonderland and a Curious Child Lewis Carroll’s classic Alice in Wonderland has entertained not only children but adults for over one hundred years.
