When I first watched Alice in Wonderland, I was absolutely mesmerized by the strange characters and imaginative encounters that Alice had throughout the fairy tale. She was a young girl who had a wonderful imagination and was able to escape reality with in it. When I was a girl I often lived in my imagination for days, using my background as the setting for an adventure that would lead me to magical fairies in the garden or a secret treasure. Alice also acts much older for her age. She is able to handle herself, most of the time, in the strangest of situations, whether it is chatting with the caterpillar or finding her way out of the rabbit hole. I believe this is a heroic attribute. My parents also said that I was very mature for my age. I believe my curiosity had something to do with it. I always wanted to understand what was going on in my surroundings and struck up conversations with people wherever I was, like in the grocery store sitting in my mom's cart or in line at an amusement park. This curiosity is present in Alice's personality, too. She is also resourceful, which is a quality I like to believe I posses. What also attracts me to Alice is the characters she meets and talks with, such as the caterpillar and mad hatter. She doesn't pass judgement, rather she accepts everyone and excuses herself from situations that make her feel uncomfortable without being rude. I love meeting and talking to quirky people, who are completely different than me. They also have the most interesting thoughts and experiences to share. I'd love to spend a day in Wonderland.
