Charles Dodgson, who wrote under the pen name Lewis Carroll, published Alice's Adventures in Wonderland in 1865. The book tells the story of a girl named Alice who falls down a rabbit hole into a strange fantasy world. Carroll based some characters on people he knew, and may have been inspired by hallucinogenic drugs. The book became hugely popular and influenced many other works of art and media due to its imaginative world and characters.
A young girl when she first visited magical Underland, Alice Kingsleigh (Mia Wasikowska) is now a teenager with no memory of the place -- except in her dreams. Her life takes a turn for the unexpected when, at a garden party for her fiance and herself, she spots a certain white rabbit and tumbles down a hole after him. Reunited with her friends the Mad Hatter (Johnny Depp), the Cheshire Cat and others, Alice learns it is her destiny to end the Red Queen's (Helena Bonham Carter) reign of terror.

In my 3rd year in college, I was assigned to discuss in the class one of William Shakespeare's plays and I chose Hamlet, Prince of Denmark. It was in our English&American Literature class with Mr. D.A. Aragon. :)

Both the 1951 and 2010 Disney version of Alice in Wonderland differ significantly from the original books. In this lecture I show that one of the most important differences is the genre of the story that is told in each of these.

The Historical context of “The Importance of Being Earnest” by Oscar Wilde
It is usually imperative to comprehend the motivation behind a given activity or decision. Most literary pieces have been drafted, but most people do not understand what drove the person to come up with such ideas. Oscar Wilde is among the individuals who have been relevant to the literature circle because of his immense contribution to the sector. He has other pieces that he has published, but one of them: "The Importance of Being Earnest" is legendary. Therefore, the discourse will be explaining the historical context of this masterpiece.
The environment where people operate is exceedingly paramount to their existence because most of the things that happen have various degree of influence on the respective individuals. Consequently, people draw inspiration from the events that take place around them. Some people might choose to be silent while others are expressive about their feelings on a given subject. Oscar Wilde belongs to the latter category based on his skills as expressed in “The Importance of Being Earnest" provides a reader with an opportunity of understanding the circumstances that existed during its authorship. The lifestyle of the people during that time gives a clear picture of the characteristics of the society during this period.
"The Importance of Being Earnest" was written at the backdrop of political tension in Ireland. Therefore, some of the utterances that have been made on the play provide an overview of the extent of the differences that could have existed among the people. The issue of Home Rule in Ireland was among the controversial issues at the time. Ideally, in 1886, William Gladstone had caused some tension by committing the British Liberal Party to fortify the quests for Ireland's self-rule (Horz, 36). This move was made under the British Empire framework. The House of Lords thwarted any efforts of the Home Rule Bill. Two years after the rejection of the bill, Oscar Wilde came up with "The Importance of Being Earnest."
The implication of the differences that were brought about by the Home Rule case has been featured in "The Importance of Being Earnest." Oscar Wilde uses the characters in the play to show the reactions of people during that time. In the play, Lady Bracknell asks Jack about his political inclination when he suggested that he wanted to propose to Gwendolen (Wilde &Bristow, 24). This type of question indicates that politics controlled various aspects of people’s lives during that time. Therefore, Lady Bracknell’s intention for asking that question was driven by the need to determine Jack's political correctness before getting serious with Gwendolen. When Jack confirmed to her that he was a Liberal Unionist, she showed a cognizable degree of relief. The line "Oh, they count as Tories. They dine with us" (Wilde &Bristrow, 24) confirms his reply.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
2. Charles Dodgson
• The author of Alice’s Adventures in
Wonderland was Charles Ludwidge
Dogson.
• He published the book and other
works under the pseudonym of
Lewis Carroll because he wished to
maintain anonymity to remain
immune to any criticism on his
poetry and prose.
• His name comes from the translation
of his first two names into Latin
“Carolus Lodovicus” anglicized into
“Lewis Carroll”.
3. Lewis Carroll 1832 -98
• He was born in Cheshire, his father
was an Anglican person. The family
moved to the county of Yorkshire
when he was 11, by which time
Queen Victoria had been on the
throne for four years.. like his father
he had great success at the Oxford
University as a mathematician, even
winning a lectureship which kept him
well off for many years. Like his
father he decided to enter the
church and became an Anglican
deacon at Christ Church in Oxford.
One of the places that inspired Carroll- the door in
the garden (Christ Church, Oxford)
4. Works
• He was affected from stammer, he was also deaf and
had a weak chest. Dodgson translated these
psychological and physical flaws into his drive to
succeed as a writer. Dodgson began publishing his
own magazine in 1855, it was titled Mischmasch .in
1856 he officially published some works in the train,
a monthly magazine which prompted him to invent
his pseudonym Lewis Carroll.
It was at this time that Dodgson knew Henry
Liddell and his young family. With the children he
felt less self conscious about his stammer. Liddell’s
son and three daughters proved to be the perfect
audience for his imaginative stories.
5. It was in this way that he was encouraged to write
Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.
He read the first version to Liddell’s three daughters,
Lorina, Alice and Edith during a boat trip and it was
Alice Liddell who suggested him to commit the
adventures to paper. It took him three years to
complete the manuscript and to have the book
published in 1865. the book quickly caught the
collective imagination of Victorian society in fact it
has been translated into almost every language.
6. • In 1871 Dogson published a new book
about Alice, titled Through the Looking
Glass and What Alice Found There.
Apparently the book was another
conversation with Alice Liddell, where
they discussed what it might be like to
enter the reflected world in a mirror.
This second book was as successful as the
first.
7. The strange world of
•
Dogson period during
There was a paradox about the Victorian
which Dodgson lived. On the one hand it was
conservative and formalized, but on the other it was
progressive and dynamic. In 1859 Charles Darwin had
published On the Origin of Species, in which he explained
his theory of biological evolution by natural selection. It
caused the deal of scientific and theological arguments.
Dodgson was a creative mind and it was in this
revolutionary environment that he allowed his
imagination to think about the fantastical ideas that would
evolve into Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. His two
books are now described as literary nonsense as he
produced stories that enter absurd worlds with
anthropomorphic animals and other strange characters
with exaggerated personality traits. He created a
nonsensical universe where social rules and conventions
disintegrate, the cause/effect relationship does not exist,
and time and space have lost their function of giving an
order to human experience. Dodgson used the scenarios
to tackle problems relating to logic, reason and
philosophical conundrums. Queen Victoria herself was a
fan of Dodgson’s work, demonstrating that she and many
other Victorians were open to the idea of allowing a little
nonsense into their lives.
8. Was Carroll on
•
Drugs?
Literary nonsense became a genre and many
subsequent authors have drawn inspiration
from Dodgson’s ability to delve into his
subconscious. It seems likely that Dodgson
had tried hallucinogenic drugs. In fact it was
known that Psilocybin mushrooms could
introduce mind bending effects. In the book
a shrunken Alice meets a caterpillar
smoking a pipe reclining on a mushroom.
Alice consumes morsels of mushroom that
make her first shrink smaller and then grow
to her normal size. Surely drugs had
something to do with such ideas.

11. The Hatter’s Name Origin
• The phrase 'mad as a hatter' was
common in Carroll's time. 'Mad as a
hatter' probably owes its origin to the
fact in that time hatters did go mad,
because the mercury they used
sometimes gave them mercury
poisoning.
• Carroll may have asked Tenniel to
draw the Mad Hatter to resemble
Theophilus Carter, a furniture dealer
near Oxford. Carter was known in
the area as the Mad Hatter, partly
because he always wore a top hat and
because of his eccentric ideas. It is
also often suggested that Tenniel
made the Mad Hatter resemble the
politician Disraeli.
13. Allegories
• It is inevitable that people have
searched for a hidden meaning or
allegory that Dodgson wished to
express through his work, in fact he
passed a lot of comments on Victorian
society. Queen Victoria reigned during
that time, so female dominance is
displayed in Carroll's writing. In Alice
stories, the Queen of Hearts overcomes
the King both in size and power.
Carroll lived during an era
characterized by punctuality. This is
reflected in the White Rabbit's
extremely paranoical reaction to his
lateness, when he repeatedly says “I'm
late, I'm late”.
14. • Another example that the Victorian age
influenced a lot Dodgson is the fact that
no one helped Alice when she was lost.
In the 19th century there were
practically no rights for young women,
and they were basically ignored or
patronized like Alice at the tea party
and when she was lost.
the Victorian Era limited the thoughts,
speech, and actions of the individual.
People were the products of the
Victorian society in which they lived. In
Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland,
Lewis Carroll uses the emphasis of facts
in the Victorian education system and
the Victorian discouragement to create
Alice’s confused character analogous to
the identity crisis of children during the
Victorian period.
15. His friends
• It is known that many of his literary
characters were based on the
personalities of his friends.
• He used his friends because he enjoyed
and celebrated their idiosyncrasies and
foibles. It was this encapsulation of the
human condition that seems to have
made his work so popular because the
readers moght recognise characters’
traits in themselves. For example Alice
is the attractively inquisitive and naïve
girl; the white rabbit is the neurotic
clerk; the caterpillar can be seen as the
laid back artist, end so on.
16. Dodgson has been also one of
the greatest photographers of
the Victorian age. Through the
photos he tried to express his
idea of beauty, he identified
this beauty with the recovery
of the lost innocence of the
Eden. With this vision
Dodgson refused the Calvinist
principle of the original sin.

by Dodgson
17. The famous Alice
• The fact that he took photographs and
drew naked children has contributed to
the thesis he was a paedophile. One of
the objectives of the Dodgson’s photos
was to free himself from the burden of
the Victorian symbology, portraying his
young models as fairies and not as well-
mannered damsels of the good English
society. He was obsessed above all by a
child, Alice Lieddell, who inspired his
book Alice’s underground (the first title
of Alice Adventures in Wonderland).
Alice Liddell
18. Illustrations
• John Tenniel’s illustrations of
Alice do not portray the real
Alice Liddell, who had dark
hair and a short fringe.
• Carroll sent Tenniel a
photograph of Mary Hilton
Badcock, another child-friend,
who was the daughter of the
Dean of Ripon.
• He recommended her as a
model, but whether Tenniel
accepted this advice remains a
matter of dispute.

“Jabberwocky” by Lewis Carrol
19. “Alice” Series the Gateway for
Many Artist’s Inspirations
• Alice and the rest of Wonderland continue to inspire or influence many other
works of art to this day, sometimes thanks to Disney movies, for example
20. • The character of the plucky Alice has became immensely popular
and inspired similar heroines in literature and pop culture, many
also named Alice in homage. But she also inspired photographs,
photoshoots, clothing, jewelry, paintings, drawings, and pretty
much any type of art you can think of based on Alice and her
adventures.
21. Poems and songs
• "All in the golden afternoon..." —the prefatory verse, an original poem by Carroll that recalls the
rowing expedition on which he first told the story of Alice's adventures underground
• "How Doth the Little Crocodile" — a parody of Isaac Watts' nursery rhyme, "
Against Idleness And Mischief"
• "The Mouse's Tale" —an example of concrete poetry
• "You Are Old, Father William" — a parody of Robert Southey's "
The Old Man's Comforts and How He Gained Them"
• The Duchess' lullaby, "Speak roughly to your little boy..." — a parody of David Bates' "Speak Gently"
• "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Bat" — a parody of "Twinkle twinkle little star"
• Video :
• The Lobster Quadrille — a parody of Mary Botham Howitt's "The Spider and the Fly"
• "'Tis the Voice of the Lobster" — a parody of "The Sluggard"
• "Beautiful Soup" — a parody of James M. Sayles' "Star of the Evening, Beautiful Star"
• "The Queen of Hearts..." — an actual nursery rhyme
• "They told me you had been to her..." — the White Rabbit's evidence
