Consider the performance of the silent movie version of Alice in Wonderland. In your opinion, was the film successful in making the story “come alive”? In a paragraph of 50 to 75 words, explain whether you think the film was successful. Be sure to use details from the performance in your response.

I think the film did a very good job making the original text “come alive.” Although there were some noticeable changes, I think these alterations enhanced the original text. For example, the scene of Eliza’s visit to her home gave the audience important insight into Eliza’s mindset. In this scene, Eliza tries to improve her appearance in front of the mirror, which indicates that she aspires to be something more than an ordinary flower girl. In this respect, the film helps to enrich Eliza’s character.

imparadis't in one anothers arms  

the happier eden, shall enjoy their fill  

of bliss on bliss, while i to hell am thrust,  

where neither joy nor love, but fierce desire,  

among our other torments not the least,  

still unfulfill'd with pain of longing pines;  

yet let me not forget what i have gain'd  

from their own mouths; all is not theirs it seems:  

one fatal tree there stands of knowledge call'd,  

forbidden them to taste: knowledge forbidd'n?  

suspicious, reasonless. why should their lord  

envie them that? can it be sin to know,
