Alice in Wonderland Quesions:
- Some critics have found parts of Alice in Wonderland unsuitable for children. Do you think any parts are unfit for children, or do you think it encourages imagination?
- What do you think is the significance of the mushroom that Alice eats during her adventures?
- Do you find the book to be more of a view of an adult’s view of childhood, or a child’s view of adulthood?
Regarding Alice’s eating of the magical mushroom, I believe this is very contreversial. I work within the substance abuse/addiction recovery field, and I hve overheard many clients, and even co-workers describe Alice’s “trip” on psychodellic mushrooms. When I was a child, I was unaware of such substances, such as mushrooms, being used to get high. However, as children are being more exposed to such ideas at earlier ages – it is apparent that it may not be approporiate for children who have a grasp on drug related problems. However, my children – aged 7 to 2 – would see it as Alice having a wicked imagination.
