...Alexita Professor Jamie ENC 1102 August 4, 2013 Alice Walker Section 1 Biography According to Michael Mayer, Alice Walker, one of the best-known and most highly respected writers in the United States, was born in Eatonton, Georgia. She was the eighth and last child of Willie Lee and Minnie Lou Grant Walker. Her parents were sharecroppers, and money was not always available as needed. At the tender age of eight, Walker lost sight of one eye when one of her older brothers shot her with a BB gun by accident. This left her in somewhat a depression, and she secluded herself from the other children. Walker felt like she was no longer a little girl because of the traumatic experience she had undergone, and she was filled with shame because she thought she was unpleasant to look at. During this seclusion from other kids of her age, Walker began to write poems. Hence, her career as a writer began. Walker found the love of her life in 1967, a white activist civil rights lawyer named Mel Leventhal, and they married him in 1967. A year later she gave birth to their daughter, Rebecca. It was not until she began teaching that her writing career really took off. She began teaching at Jackson State, then Tougaloo, and finally at Wellesley College.

She thought of herself as just a writer. Alice Munro was a compelling author whose work has landed her numerous awards in several countries and even turned down chances of winning more awards. Influences: Alice Munro had many inspirations to include Updike, Cheever, Joyce Carol Oates, Peter Taylor, and William Maxwell. She is often compared to Chekhov, referring to Cynthia Ozick, when it comes to writing style. She fed off of her inspirations to become the author she is today. Cynthia Ozick called her in a vaulting comparison that has become something of an obligatory tip of the critical hat ever since, bringing ever more stratospheric analogies to Tolstoy and Flaubert in its wake. (MERKIN, 2004) Her work: Alice Munro wrote a wide array of work from love to violence to prostitution. She...

Three possible symbolic themes from the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party include: nonsense, rudeness, and meanness. Nonsense is used without the book, but at the tea party. Toward the end of the party the March Hare tells Alice to take the some more tea. She replies that she can’t take more because she hasn’t had any yet. The Hatter jumps in and replies “ You can’t take less, it is very easy to take more than nothing.” That was obviously a nonsense statement. Another nonsense part of the tea party is when they are talking about the purpose of a watch.
