"LETTER TO THE AUTHOR"

Dear Lewis Carroll, 

          When I read you story "Throught the Looking Glass" I was completely astonished. I loved "Alice in Wonderland" but this one really went above and beyond my expectations. I really like how you portrait you characters in a very significant way. 

          I really liked when you showed in the book how you represented the story. The chess board with the pieces pieces that represented the story exactly how it was written in the book. Showing the voyage of the white pawn all the way through the chess board (Alice throughout the story). '

          Another thing that I enjoyed about this is that you created a character with certain characteristics and throughout the story, those specific characteristics that this character has (in this case Alice) transform into characteristics that you would never expect from that SAME character. 

         The nursery rhymes in the story were absolutely fantastic. All of them connected to the story in one way or another and it helped you understand more deeply the story (poems that were context clues) it gave you the sense on where the story is headed and what are the things that are going to happen. They were really helpful because some part of the book were very difficult to understand and so these poems guided you through the difficult parts of the story. 

         To finish I say that your story was really good and it is the story that people can't take their eyes off, plus the relations you make with the chess board and the other book make even more exciting and fun. 

          Sincerely,

          Pablo Tello Zuluaga
