Pay attention to punctuation.The text begins here: While she once felt certain of her identity, Alice's experiences in Wonderland have caused her to question herself. When she meets the caterpillar and he asks her who she is, she responds, “I--I hardly know sir, just at present--at least I know who I was when I got up this morning, but I think I must have changed at least several times since then” (Carroll 60). Her response shows that “Alice herself is uncertain if she is the little girl she has always known herself to be due to her bizarre external experiences” (Leach). Her lack of a definitive answer when asked who she is shows that “she is trying to find a consistent answer to this question the whole way through the story" ("The Nature of Being"). Alice seems to see that one's identity is not static.Sources:Carroll, Lewis. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland . D.

Correct Quote Integration Noah reflects that his mother "grew up with nothing and wanted something to call her own" (Noah 63). The reader's interest is sparked from the very beginning of the story, when the narrator reveals that "I was nine years old when my mother threw me out of a moving car" (Noah 5). Because in South Africa "it was illegal to be mixed" his mother had to pretend to be his nanny when they went out together (Noah 28). The absurdities of apartheid included the fact that "Chinese people were classified as black" but another Asian ethnicity, the Japanese, "were labelled as white" (Noah 77). Gran looked at him and said, "I would beat you, but Jesus has already exposed your lies" (Noah 81). Poor Quote Integration Noah writes about his mother. "She grew up with nothing and wanted something to call her own." (Noah 63). The author says "I never wanted to destroy. I wanted to create" (Noah 81). Here is a quote that shows how Trevor Noah felt when he was young. "From an adult's point of view, I was destructive and out of control, but as a child, I didn't think of it that way" (Noah 81). "When an African dad buys his kid a present, the last thing he's going to do is give some fat white man credit for it." In the book it says "She turned and looked at me and screamed, 'Run!'" (Noah 16). Match the statement with the best paraphrase A little learning is a dangerous thing. Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian Spring. If we do not know very much but think we do, we make bad decisions; it is better to learn deeply than just a little bit. Life is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. Life is a stupid story told by an idiot, filled with pointless drama that means nothing. Do not send to know for whom the bell tolls. It tolls for thee. Do not ask who died. Because you are part of mankind, a part of you died. Did he smile his work to see? Did he who made the lamb make thee? Did the same God who made the sweet lamb make the scary tiger? Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage And then is heard no more Life is being a mere actor in a play; he's on the stage for an hour, goes off stage, and is never seen again. Death, be not proud, though some have called thee Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so; Don't be so proud of yourself, Death. Some people say you're powerful and scary, but you're not.
