Lewis+Carroll+5th+period

= = == **Lewis Carroll** = = = Biography = Lewis Carroll's name at birth was Charles Lutwidge Dodgson. He was born at Daresbury in Chesire in the year of 1832. He was the third out of eleven children. Carroll spent a lot of his life as an Oxford Mathematics lecturer (1855-1881), but it was difficult for him because of a stammer he was born with.

Carroll is probably most known as the author who wrote __Alice's Adventures in Wonderland__ (1865) and the sequel __Through the Looking Glass__ (1872.)

Carroll died in the year of 1898.

// Just For Fun! While attending a pinic on July 4, 1862, Carroll began telling tales about Alice Liddell, an old chilhood friend. Later these tales became the book "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland." //

"I'm late! I'm late for a very important date!" **

Carroll's Poetry
by Lewis Carroll || Lingering onward dreamily In an evening of July — ||=  ||= Children yet, the tale to hear, Eager eye and willing ear, Lovingly shall nestle near. || Eager eye and willing ear, Pleased a simple tale to hear — ||=   ||= In a Wonderland they lie, Dreaming as the days go by , Dreaming as the summers die: || Echoes fade and memories die: Autumn frosts have slain July. ||=  ||=  Ever drifting down the stream — Lingering in the golden gleam — Life, what is but a dream? || Alice moving under skies Never seen by waking eyes. ||=  ||= 
 * ~ **A Boat beneath a Sunny Sky **
 * = A BOAT beneath a sunny sky,
 * = Children three that nestle near,
 * = Long has paled that sunny sky:
 * = Still she haunts me, phantomwise,

Blue print phrases are examples of personification because ideas, animals, etc are doing things only humans can do. For example, eyes can not be eager but humans can.  The brown words are examples of assonance becuase vowel sounds rhyme. The purple print phrases are examples of metaphors because one thing is described by comparing it to something else This poem is symbolic to how a dream can be more real than "real" Life.  My Reaction to "A Boat Beneath a Sunny Sky": When I read this poem, I see a man on a boat telling children about this whole new world no one has seen before.

Go and rest your weary head ." Thus the prudent brother said. || Off to the cook he quickly ran. "Dear Cook, please lend a frying-pan To me as quickly as you can." || Or scratches to your face applied?" Thus his sister calm replied. || "And wherefore should I lend it you ?" "The reason, Cook, is plain to view. I wish to make an Irish stew ." || I'd make you into mutton broth As easily as kill a moth" ||  "What meat is in that stew to go?" "My sister'll be the contents!" "Oh" "You'll lend the pan to me, Cook?" "No!"
 * = ** Brother And Sister ** ||
 * "SISTER, sister, go to bed!

Theme: Even though brothers/sisters can be annoying you should still respect them.

A hyperbole is a extreme exageration. That is why this poem is a hyperbole. Would someone really cook their sister?

Head and said are examples of assonance because the vowel sounds rhyme. You, Veiw, and stew also are examples of assonance, so is many other words in this poem. ||
