**Title: Just Cute <3**

In this world, there are countless things that can melt our hearts with their cuteness.

Whether it's a tiny kitten with its big, innocent eyes and soft fur, or a fluffy puppy wagging its tail excitedly.

Maybe it's a baby's precious smile or a colorful butterfly fluttering by.

The cuteness factor is truly irresistible.

It has the power to make us forget our worries and bring a smile to our faces in an instant.

We can't help but be drawn to these cute little things.

They have a charm that is unique and special.

It's just cute <3 and it brightens up our days.

We should cherish these moments of cuteness and let them fill our lives with joy and warmth.

This "wonder"ful book is filled with very interesting dialogues. Here, I would like to share a section from the last page of the book.

So she sat on, with closed eyes, and half believed herself in Wonderland. However, she knew that if she were to open them again, everything would transform into dull reality. The grass would merely rustle in the wind, and the pool would ripple due to the waving of the reeds. The rattling teacups would change into tinkling sheep bells, and the Queen's shrill cries would turn into the voice of the shepherd boy. The sneeze of the baby, the shriek of the Gryphon, and all the other queer noises would change (as she knew) into the confused clamour of the busy farm-yard. Meanwhile, the lowing of the cattle in the distance would replace the Mock Turtle's heavy sobs.

Lastly, she imagined how her little sister would, in the future, grow into a woman. She envisioned that throughout her maturer years, her sister would maintain the simple and loving heart of her childhood. She thought about how her sister would gather other little children around her and make their eyes bright and eager with many strange tales, perhaps even with the dream of Wonderland from long ago. She also imagined how her sister would empathize with all their simple sorrows and find pleasure in all their simple joys, remembering her own child-life and the happy summer days.

I'm truly sorry, but what on earth was that

Well, I really cannot fathom why this is considered a classic and why so many people are crazy about it.

I did like a few details, such as one or two sentences in the poems and some of the dialogues. They had a certain charm and seemed to stand out.

However, on the whole, this book appears to be just a bunch of random characters grouped together in a rather nonsense story. There doesn't seem to be a clear and coherent plot or a deep underlying theme that would justify its status as a classic.

Perhaps I am missing something, but from my perspective, it fails to live up to the hype. Maybe others see something in it that I don't, but for now, I remain unconvinced.

People knocking on the door of their seventh decade don't typically get their first of these things at this point in their lives.

But then the Cubs had never won the World Series any other year of my life. I got caught up in the moment. And as is often the case, supply created its own demand.

When a smiling Kris Bryant threw the runner out at first to complete the impossible dream, we high-tailed it to Wrigleyville to join the celebration. An enterprising artist took advantage of the mood -- delirious, incautious and anesthetized -- and offered what seemed like a great souvenir of the season.

Anyway, this is me with my ice breaking ink. I don't know how common this is, but am pretty sure I'm not the only one who had regrets afterwards. It wasn't so much the semi-permanent nature of the marking itself, it was the fact that I was somehow signalling that some stupid team whose success I almost nothing to do with (aside from a few extra bucks in ticket and t-shirt revenues) was more important than my sweetie.

There was an obvious remedy for that. It was only a few days later that I got this one. Tattoos, I suspect, are a lot like cats. Once you get a few of them, more seem to find their way to you.

The next one I wanted to think about. As someone who considers himself the office book nerd (most of my colleagues are more numerically inclined), I thought maybe I could pay tribute to an influential book of my youth. I must have connected to this mathematically inclined author and his funny logic (akin to an all-white Rubik's cube perhaps?).

Plus, the almost surreal times we live in suggest a certain kind of statement, too. Anyway, here's what I decided on. At this point, with the floodgates of ink now open, my dear wife thinks I should get one more. This is one that, in her mind, sets me apart. It marks this rather odd proclivity of mine to go to extreme lengths just to say, "April Fools!"

My arms, legs, back and buttocks remain unadorned, but I'm now thinking some of these do look pretty cool.

3,5

In the Emma's Tea Party, there was a wonderful gathering with: Betza, Majo, Lizet, Vicky, Shii & Jessica :D

3.5 Is it a masterpiece or just a bunch of nonsense? Well, who really cares! This book is filled with so many great lessons. And let's face it, we are all a little mad anyway ;) As the saying goes, \\n  "we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad."\\n

This is a really funny and highly imaginative book. Sometimes, a bit of madness doesn't harm anyone. Letting the imagination fly from time to time is good for people. So, dear friends, don't hold it back! Let your creativity run wild and enjoy the wonderful world that this book presents. It's a great escape from the ordinary and a chance to embrace the extraordinary.

I really don't know what to say.

The whole book was so mysterious. It was composed of some separate scenes, which really bothered me. Because I couldn't fathom the logic behind the characters. Maybe that was precisely the point.

Perhaps the entire story was about not attempting to understand the logic behind people's behavior, for you can never truly understand it, and that's just the way the world operates.

I find it hard to regard it as a children's book. Since children's books are always so straightforward and the message within them is always clear. But this book was so peculiar, and I truly don't know what to say.

OH MY GOD. I WON'T BE ABLE TO SLEEP TONIGHT.

It seems that this book has left me in a state of confusion and unrest. The disjointed scenes and the enigmatic characters have challenged my understanding. I keep wondering if there is a deeper meaning hidden beneath the surface.

Maybe I need to read it again to try and解开 the mystery. Or perhaps I should just accept that some things in life are meant to remain unexplained.

Either way, this book has definitely made an impact on me, and I'm curious to see how it will continue to influence my thoughts and perceptions.

Who knows, maybe it will lead me to a newfound understanding of the world and the people in it.

I really liked it.

It was an experience that left a lasting impression on me.

The moment I encountered it, something within me was immediately drawn to it.

Maybe it was the unique charm it possessed, or perhaps it was the way it made me feel.

Whatever the reason, I found myself completely captivated.

It was like a shining star in a vast sky, standing out and catching my attention.

I couldn't help but be fascinated by it.

Every aspect of it seemed to have a special allure.

From its appearance to its functionality, it was truly remarkable.

I will always remember this thing that I really liked.

It will remain in my heart as a precious memory.

Me gustó mucho.

Fue una experiencia que dejó una impresión duradera en mí.

En el momento en que lo encontré, algo dentro de mí fue inmediatamente atraído por él.

Tal vez fuera el encanto único que poseía, o quizás fuera la forma en que me hizo sentir.

Cualquiera que sea la razón, me encontré completamente cautivado.

Era como una estrella brillante en un vasto cielo, destacándose y captando mi atención.

No pude evitar estar fascinado por él.

Cada aspecto de él parecía tener un atractivo especial.

Desde su apariencia hasta su funcionalidad, era realmente notable.

Siempre recordaré esta cosa que me gustó mucho.

Permanecerá en mi corazón como un recuerdo precioso.

Quick review for a quick read and classic tale.

I happened to grab this from my library for a re-read and loved it as much as I did the first time I read it. Alice is quite a remarkable character. In the beginning, as she's sitting with her sister, she sees a white rabbit carrying a pocket watch. From that moment on, as they say, the story becomes history in the making.

The illustrations in the edition I had were truly lovely. They complimented the story and characters extremely well, adding an extra layer of charm to the already enchanting tale.

I've read numerous retellings of "Alice in Wonderland", but for me, it was a real treat to go back to where it all began. From Alice getting stuck and having her river of tears flood the room, to playing croquet with the Queen of Hearts and narrowly evading having her head cut off upon the court's orders. Wonderland is filled with all these quirks and absurdities, and the characters who live there are just as strange. You can't help but follow Alice in her interactions with each of them, no matter how absurd or awkward they may be.

Though there are times when I think Carroll purposefully includes all of these different dialogues to play with both the reader and Alice for fun.

I still need to give "Through the Looking Glass" a re-read, but I really enjoyed revisiting this tale from my childhood. It never fails to inspire me with its quirks, humor, and the overall immersion and imagination of the story.

Overall score: 4/5 stars

Lewis Carroll, a multi-faceted individual - an artist-illustrator, games-trickster, mathematician, and logic-scholar, was on a boat trip on the Thames River in 1862. The Dean's daughter, Alice Lidell, along with two other girls, asked him to tell a story. And so, the enchanting tale of Alice began.

Alice, bored while with her sister by the riverbank, follows a white rabbit with a watch into a strange abyss. Inside, she experiences numerous size changes, meets various奇特的 animals like the Dodo, the blue caterpillar, and the Cheshire cat. She attends a chaotic croquet game with the Queen, where the rules seem non-existent.

The story of "Alice in Wonderland" has endured over the years, captivating audiences of all ages. It has been the subject of much speculation and analysis, with some suggesting that it is a rebellious tale or an introduction to a new type of geometry.
Despite the end of their friendship, the real Alice Lidell left an indelible mark on Carroll's life. And the story of Alice continues to live on, inspiring countless adaptations and interpretations.
On July 4th, many people will dress up as the beloved characters from the story, keeping the magic alive. Whether it's the white rabbit with pink eyes or Alice herself, the charm of "Alice in Wonderland" shows no signs of fading.
