I’m going to talk about through the looking glass.

CONTEXTUAL FRAMEWORK

Through the Looking-Glass is a children's" stories by lewis carrol,l He incorporated some poems
and material he had already written, and composed Through the Looking glass between 1866 and
1871, when it was first published. The story combines verse with prose.it is easy to see in whole
the story

Through the Looking Glass was first published by Macmillan in 1871

literaty context

The story was written during the contemporary period, its belongs to Contemporary literature and
a fantastic narrative, belongs as I say before its literary form is prose but this story tale has a
combination of prose and verse I take this phrase of the book “Do you hear the snow against the
window-panes, Kitty? How nice and soft it sounds! Just as if someone was kissing the window all
over outside.

Realism literary movement belongs to the fantastic (fantasy prose Vitoria).

About themes of the story well, I could see fate Loneliness, language, and fantasy

Semantic framework

"Through the Looking-Glass" is the second book dedicated to Alice, Alice was a little girl who
inspired lewis to create the story This time Alice finds herself inside a weird chess game and meets
a lot of funny characters who do and say strange things and recite a lot of poems. At last she
becomes a Queen.
Carroll uses the fictional adventure of his heroine Alice to present to his readers a guide for
understanding the structure of language and the ways in which it operates. All in the story has a
meaning for instance the chess, chess symbolized fate Alice’s journey through Looking-Glass World
is guided by some rules that guide her along her path. As I see Alice has little control of her life
inside the chess game, but outside her actions are influenced by others. Just as Alice exerts little
control of her movement toward becoming a queen, she has no power over her inevitable
maturation. Carroll wants to represents the concept of language through the chess game why well
In the first part of the story we can observed that alice interacts with a kitty and the kitty can not
interpret that she wants to say so she can not enter into a system of language until her individual
speech act is interpreted by a receiver. When she crosses to the other world she used her
language to communicate with chess piece, flowers inter alia.

Carroll uses the motif of the chess board and the fictional animation of the chess pieces to shows
the relation between signal and signification, the different value of words, the unchanging rules of
language and the contrasting fluidity of meaning and language.

Moreover as a said before he incorpored some of his poem Inside of the story and those poem
contains many nonsensical words that even Alice cannot understand its structure so we can say
that the ´poem is written in classic English poetry.

Figures speechs

In the story we can find many figures speech I’m going to mention some of them

Dashes: a dash is a punctuation mark used to set off a word o phrase after an independent clause
that interrupts a sentence. I find these on page 3, 8, 9 well we can see it almost in whole text but
this is one phrase page 8 One thing was certain, that the white kitten had had nothing to do with
it:— it was the black kitten’s fault entirely.; pharenthesis which is interrupt the normal syntactic
flow sentence. It is in page 8, 10 and more, page 8 (and bearing it pretty well, considering);

Enumertaio well alice make a point in the kitty’s fault page 9 when she says number one you
squeaked twice…Number two: you pulled…Now for number three…. I found simile on page 29
The Red Queen shook her head, ‘You may call it “nonsense” if you like,’ she said, ‘ but I’ve heard
nonsense, compared with which that would be as sensible as a dictionary!’ personification page
39 A Goat, that was sitting next to the gentleman in white, shut his eyes and said in aloud voice,
‘She ought to know her way to the ticket-office, even if she doesn’t know her alphabet!’
alliteration page 39 She must go by post, as she’s got a head on her— ’ ‘She must be sent as a
message by the telegraph— ’ ‘She must draw the train herself the rest of the way— ’ and so on.

“Oh, you wicked wicked little thing!”
