Emma in Wonderland

About the book, Alice in Wonderland, by Lewis Caroll: I want to call it "Emma in Wonderland" because I want to have those adventures of Alice's. That's what I was thinking because I just saw the movie, Alice Through the Looking Glass, on the weekend with Rose and Mike. It's very good, you know, the movie. I'll look up the plot on the Internet. It says: "Alice comes across a magical looking glass that takes her to Underland - a copy of Wonderland - and there she finds that the Mad Hatter is acting madder than usual." The Mad Hatter is played by Johnny Depp. I really liked him but I liked him better as Willy Wonka being with the spoilt kids in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Anyway the Mad Hatter wants to discover the truth about his family. To help him, Alice travels through Time, she steals the Chronometer, which is like a big object to see into The Past, which means things that happened a long time ago. Emma: Do you have a past you can see, Anna? Anna: "Yes, quite a few years' worth." Emma: "I can't see my past, I don't know what my past is." Anna: "You can look through photographs to see your past." Emma: "It's not in Wonderland is it?" Anna: "No, it's not - well - um - it's sort of there, in a way - it's complicated." Emma: "Why?" Anna: "Well there are two ways of thinking about this. There's reality - what really truly happens in your life. Like the facts of your life. Now with the facts of your life, you can go back to the past through your memories - Emma: "Through my memories of romance?" Anna: "Kind of. You can remember things by looking at photos, or special objects, like souvenirs -" Emma: "What are they?" Anna: "They are things that you maybe bought or saved in the past to remind you of travelling or other events - they are things you keep to make your memories come back - Emma: "Like things of your childhood ..." Anna: "Yes, exactly. And the second way to think about it is symbolically ... Emma: "What's a symbol?" Anna: "A symbol is like a code for something else. Like Wonderland might be the symbol of your childhood because Wonderland is like your experience of childhood ..." Emma: "Like legends, like a story or a dream or something ..." A: "Yes! Exactly! Like they give a flavour of your experience of reality ..." Emma: "Yes! Yes - can you put that in, what you said? Anna: "Sure. You know how when you're a child and everything is like magic? Emma: "Yes. Especially witches and queens." Anna: "Talking of queens ..." And in the film, the Red Queen and the White Queen have a big argument in their childhoods. I'm not sure what it's about but on the Internet it says that the Red Queen loses her crown because she loses her temper at her coronation and behaves badly to her parents the King and Queen and her sister. But it's really her sister, the White Sister who makes the Red Sister look really bad. It was all about the cookie trifle thing - "I think it's actually a tart, Emma," - yes, it's a tart. The White Sister steals the tart and eats it. But she puts the crumbs under the bed of her Red sister, and then the White sister lies and her Red sister gets blamed. The people think the Red Queen stole the tarts and she ran away. So she no longer has the crown. I wouldn't do that to my sister. I'm not that immature. Because I'm neither the Red nor the White one, I'm not that crazy. My favourite characters, apart from Alice, are the White Queen and the Red Queen of Hearts. They are so young! I have some pictures of them that I have saved to my iPad. Also I had a picture taken in the movie foyer with me against cardboard film poster where I stood in front of it to be like I am a character. But I'm not in the film - not yet!! Actually I want a poster of this film in my room one day. Anyway, about other characters - there is Hamish, who is Alice's fiancé, he is an interesting character, I'm a little suspicious of him. He tries to do a deal with Alice's mother about their house and the ship that belongs to their family. He is just interested in money though, not love. Alice's mother just takes the contract and rips it up. In the end Alice does not marry him, she goes sailing in her ship by herself. I myself don't know how to sail but if somebody helped me I would like to try it.
