作為一本小說，愛麗絲夢遊仙境或愛麗絲鏡中奇遇並沒有所謂的情節（根據E. M. Forster，情節是由具有因果關係的事件構成），而是單純由事件所串連而成的故事。當中事件或場景的轉換往往不見得有所關聯，甚至可能是突兀的變化。這或許是一種針對夢境的模擬，在夢中場景或地點的變化時常是突然而無序的。在那當時或許十分自然，往往要等到醒來才能察覺其中怪異。
兒童，或者任何單純的讀者，或許可以從這些不可預測的驚奇中獲得樂趣。然而現在我們成為鏡子裡的公爵夫人，必得要給每件事情找個教訓。
在荒謬的包裝之下，愛麗絲的故事中隱藏著許多謎語、雙關語、遊戲，或許還有當時發生在卡羅與愛麗絲身邊的事情。有些或許是為了逗樂年幼的愛麗絲，也有些或許是卡羅本人的個人興趣，像是與拉丁文有關的果醬梗。（這還真是我前幾天意外在別處讀到的。）奇特的是書中似乎隱約含有一股緬懷往日的奇異憂傷。包括兩本書的卷首詩結尾、夢遊仙境結尾姊姊的懷想、蛋人建議愛麗絲停在七歲不要長大、白騎士唱歌的場景等等。據說卡羅愛上年紀比自己小二十歲的愛麗絲，或許能解釋書中的這些傷感，但或許也可以想成是成人緬懷自己的兒童時光，羨慕地看著那些無憂無慮的孩子時所發出的感嘆。
As novels, these two stories of Alice have no plot but only thread of events. (According to E. M. Forster, plots are events with causality.) Events or scenes are often unrelated to each other, sometimes even changed abruptly. This arrangment may be an analog for a dream, where scenes often change abruptly and disorderly. Those changes seem quite natural for a dreaming person, but become weird after awake from sleep.
Children or any other naive reader may find these unpredictable surprise simply lots of fun. Yet now we here have to become the Duchess in the looking-glass, who tried to give everything a moral.
Under the cover of nonsense, there are many riddles, puns, games, and probably personal allusions of Carroll and the Liddle Girls. Some may be tempt to amuse the young Liddles, such as the dry speech made by Mouse. Some could be Carroll’s personal interest, like the sentence “Jam tomorrow and jam yesterday, but never jam today.” I recently found that it is actually a joke about Latin.
However, it is strange that such a cheerful book seems to have some sort of sadness hidden inside. At opening poems there are wither’d wreath and gone happy summer days. At the end of Alice’s adventures in Wonderland, there is again the yearning of the happy summer days. Humpty Dumpty recommended Alice to stop at the age of seven and do not grow up anymore. And still also, there is the White Knight singing scene. It is said that Carroll loved Alice Liddle, who is twenty years younger than him, and this love was banned by her mother. This might be able to explain the sadness in the books. But the sadness might also be interpreted as the laments made by an adult who yearning for his own childhood days and looking enviously at those carefree children.

雖然作業這樣寫，其實我還是相信卡羅是喜歡愛麗絲的啦。

  說我抄我自己……（默）
• student2 → Overall, very good. There are some strange bits of grammar thrown in: have no plot but only [a] thread of events; where scenes often change abruptly and [are] disorderly; At[In the] opening poems there are.
  整體來說很好，文法有點奇怪。冠詞、動詞、介係詞用法注意。
• student3 → I’m going to guess English is not your native language, and I really wanted to give you a higher grade but some of your sentences just did not make sense to me, e.g. second paragraph, second sentence. Also you spelled Liddell incorrectly, something that you could easily have verified even if the spellchecker said it is wrong. There were also some issues with punctuation/capitalization.
  第二段第二句看不懂。愛麗絲的姓拼錯啦。（汗）
• student4 → The only grammatical mistake I noticed was not the start the first sentence, or any sentence, with “As”. Th text otherwise is good and well structured with proper paragraphing.
  「As」不可以當句首？
• student5 → The word ‘arrangement’ was misspelled in the essay. There were a small handful of weirdly worded statements. Arguments were set, but not always backed up. A change of wording in several places could have made it flow better.
  拼字錯誤，幾個奇怪的選字。設定了論點，但並不總是有證據。

• student2 → All of what you write is interesting, however, none of it goes together to support your argument.
  有趣的書寫，但完全沒有證據可以支持論點。
• student3 → Your first paragraph had a valid idea about the thread of events – you do realize that it is actually a dream I hope. But it is your conclusion that about the sadness of growing up that really shows insight into the stories.
  第一段關於事件串的論點無法成立：希望你真的有搞清楚這是在寫夢。結論處有關長大的悲傷則顯示出對故事的洞察。
• student4 → I understood all the points you were trying to make a they are well argued. I can’t really think of any thing to improve in such a small piece of writing.
  以這麼小一篇文章來說不知道該怎麼改會更好。
• student5 → This essay covered an interesting subject matter. It did not flow together and I had to stop several times to re-read sentences to get what they were trying to say. The main issues were the layout and not enough arguments with facts to back them up.
  涵蓋有趣的主題，但兜不在一起。主要論點有列出，但沒有足夠的證據。

其他（Other）

• student1 → Plagiarism. This is not what you should be doing here. I wish I could score it as “0”.
  顯然很憤怒。
• student2 → Your essay would have excelled if you had supported the fact that Alice does not have a plot, only a thread of events.
  如果能提出「愛麗絲沒有情節，只有事件串」的證據就會很棒。
• student5 →
  本來就是空著的。
