Wonderland I've lost count on how many times I've read Alice in Wonderland and Alice Through The Looking Glass. However, I'm pretty sure I've been reading them since I was very little. I don't know why I love this book so much, I guess it reminds me of my childhood dreams of going through such fun (but a bit weird) adventures in a world where nothing makes sense. I guess that's every kid's dream, right? One of my favorite scene is the one in which she meets the lion and the unicorn, but specifically when she talks to the unicorn. It's so funny to see how kids are nothing but a fantasy for creatures from the Wonderland, just like unicorns are for us. These books are my mom's favorite, that's why she named me Alice. As a matter of fact, I like having the name of one of my favorites characters ever; if I weren't named Alice I'd probably name my daughter Alice when I had one. Moreover, I remember my mom reading these stories to me before I went to bed when I was a little girl, and I actually liked them quite a lot that I still read them as an adult. The truth is that you're never too old to read these types of stories! So I picture myself reading these stories as an old lady because I can't never get enough of them. Recently, I had the chance to read both of them in English. I personally think the experience was even better than when I've read in my native language. I guess some things are better in the original. The important thing I take from all this is that we can't let the child inside us die as time goes by.

Wonderland

I've lost count on how many times I've read Alice in Wonderland and Alice Through The Looking Glass. However, I'm pretty sure I've been reading them since I was very little. I don't know why I love these books so much; I guess it they reminds me of my childhood dreams of going through such fun (but a bit weird) adventures in a world where nothing makes sense.

As a matter of fact, I like having the name of one of my favorites characters ever; if I weren't named Alice, I'd probably name my daughter Alice when I have one. Moreover, I remember my mom reading these stories to me before I went to bed when I was a little girl, and I actually liked them quite a lot so much that I still read them as an adult. The truth is that you're never (Avoid using the "royal you" when writing.) no one is ever too old to read these types of stories, so I picture myself reading these stories as an old lady because I can't never (<-- Proper English does not allow the usage of double negatives.) get enough of them.

Recently, I had the chance to read both of them in English. I personally think the experience was even better than when I'd read them in my native language. I guess some things (Avoid using the word "thing" as much as possible. It's a very elementary school word.) stories are better in their original languages. The important thing lesson I take from all this is that we can't let the child inside us die as time goes by.

Hi Alice! Your English is outstanding! It's very clear that you have a great command of the language. Excellent job! =)
