Over the course of the play, does the character of Alice change? In 75 to 100 words, explain whether you believe Alice changes by the end of the play. Use specific details from the play to support your answer.

I believe that Alice changes over the course of the play because at the beginning of the story Alice is curious, childish, and imaginative and at the end of the story she is brave, fearless, has a good understanding of everything, and is more involved with Wonderland because she is trying to help people out. I think this because throughout the story, Alice experiences frequent physical changes. She's constantly shrinking and growing, she struggles to maintain a comfortable size. She begins to manage situations and handle them as an adult would, she learns to stand up to authority in order to get taken seriously, such as the Queen of Hearts.

Explanation:

Alice matures over the course of the play. For instance, at the beginning of the play she is shown as a bright and timid girl. When she first meets the Red Queen, she is polite and pays attention to the queen. Although the queen talks nonsense about the advantages of not having a name, Alice doesn’t challenge her:

RED QUEEN: It’s time for you to answer now; open your mouth a little wider when you speak, and always say, “Your Majesty.” I suppose you don’t want to lose your name?

ALICE: No, indeed.

When Alice meets the Red Queen at the end of the play, she doesn’t stand for the queen’s nonsense. Alice is not afraid to say what she is thinking:

ALICE: Please, would you tell me—

RED QUEEN: Speak when you’re spoken to.

ALICE: But if everybody obeyed that rule, and if you only spoke when you were spoken to, and the other person always waited for you to begin, you see nobody would ever say anything, so that—

RED QUEEN: Preposterous.

ALICE: I only said “if.”

Alice’s response to the Red Queen shows that she becomes more confident over the course of the story.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
