Question

Reread these quotes shown about decision making:

Answer 1

Answer:

The quote from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets implies that the choices we make show our strength of character much more than our talents and abilities. So, it’s critical to make the right decision in any situation. Also, the quote assumes that Harry has something inside him that will guide him to make the right decisions.

In the quote from Alice in Wonderland, Alice doesn’t know which road to take. She has two options, but she is not sure which one is better. The Cheshire Cat tells her that if she is uncertain of her direction, it does not matter which decision she makes. In her situation, there is no sense that she as an individual has the means to make a good decision because she is in a topsy-turvy world.

Explanation:

Answer 2

The two novels being analyzed are Alice's Adventures in Wonderland written Lewis Carroll and Harry Potter and Sorcerer's Stone by J.K. Rowling. Both novels have the main character traveling through a magical world. The adventure does not begin for either character until they enter that fantasy world. The authors of both books do a great job of using humor and fantasy to capture the readers attention. Each novel has its own special qualities, but one argument is for sure, both books are fantasies.

Secondly, the author of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland uses humor and fantasy to appeal to both children and adults. This novel would appeal to children because of the many fantasy creatures, such as a talking rabbit, a disappearing cat, and soldiers made out of cards. A child pays more attention to a book when the characters are fantasy creatures.
