Hello, my name is Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, but everyone calls me Lewis Carroll. I was born in Daresbury, in Cheshire, England. I am the oldest of eleven children, seven of them girls. When I was younger, I love to entertain guests and myself with magic tricks, marionette shows,and poems written for homemade newspapers. Unfortunately, I have a bit of a stammer and, at an early age, caught Whooping cough, which has crippled my ability to hear out of my right ear. ||  || Tweedledum and Tweedledee agreed to have a battle; For Tweedledum said Tweedledee had spoiled his nice new rattle. Just then flew down a monstrous crow, as black as a tar-barrel; Which frightened both the heroes so, they soon forgot their quarrel.

 * __Tweedledum and Tweedledee __

My reaction when I first read the poem was laughter because the picture that appeared in my mind was hilarious. But when I reread it, I understood that the theme of the poem is that it is unnecessary to fight over little things,such as spoiled rattles The rhyme scheme of this poem is ABAB CDCD. The poetic devices that are used in this poem are imagery and simile. || __**The Jabberwocky** __

[]

My reaction to this poem was of a flashback of all of the medieval stories that i have read. This reminds me of them because it has to do with evil monsters, swords and slayings, knights, kings, and, most of all, victory. The theme of this poem is that you need to conquer your fears, no matter how big and scary they may seem. The rhyme scheme for this marvelous poem is ABAB CDCD EFEF... until the very last phrase, where it is ABAB again. The poetic devices that are used are onomatopoeia, imagery, and symbolism. The Jabberwocky symbolizes fear. ||||||  ||
 * ** __How Doth the Little Crocodile __ **

**How doth the little crocodile Improve his shining tail, And pour the waters of the Nile**
 * On every golden scale!

How cheerfully he seems to grin How neatly he spreads his claws, And welcomes little fishes in, With gently smiling jaws!**

My reaction to this poem was surprise because I didn't expect the crocodile to use likable qualities to bring someone, in this case fish, to their doom. i believe that the theme of this poem is that we need to always be on the look out for someone who might want to cause danger or even humiliation to us.the rhyme scheme here is ABAB CDCD. The poetic device that is used here is imagery. |||||| =My pictures: = ||  2008.
