They both went through a mares nest to get to this opposite/wonderland. They each started out pretty much un smart with the way their life was. They both military issueed with a new sense of life.Both were in danger by a female dominate figure (Queen of wagon/Other Mother). Alice was uncertain about all that was happening around her. Coraline love the change at first. Alice was set up more colorful and oddly cheery. Coraline was gothic looking and dark. Coraline had to help the souls of other girls who had fallen to the Other Mother, Alice didnt. Alice grew and shrunk end-to-end the hold in/film, while Coraline stayed the same. In Alice in Wonderland Alice follows a talking colour rabbit down a hole.In this hole is where her journey begins. Alice must shoot down Jabheiwoki to return to her normal life. Sadly when Alice returns home her family is the same. Though upset things seaportt changed Alice is now strong enough to stand up to her fiance that she doesnt want to get married to. Alice is mostly a book w ithout a plot telling of Alices dream screws which dont specially set about sense further are not supposed to make sense. It is a dream tale. Alice herself is the viewpoint character and as such is in truth normal.Alice seems no different in Through the Looking methamphetamine hydrochloride and What Alice Found There. Coraline is also the viewpoint character and very normal, precisely the events that happen to her, within the story, are supposed to be real, not a dream. In Coraline she also enters another world because her family doesnt concede attention to her. She must trick and kill the other mother to return to her real life and get out of this furtherton fancy.

Alice does not change in the story, or at least we are not shown enough of what she was like before the dream or after to see what kind of change in her personality may have occurred. Coraline changes and becomes happy for what she had but is also grateful that this whole experience brought her and her family closer. This was a big difference in the movies because this showed the message the author was n erve-racking to send to the audience.If the Queen of Hearts is compared to the spidery woman, it will be detect that they are quite different. The Queen of Hearts seems to be brutal but the reader is told that the many beheadings she orders never actually occur and that we are shown that the pansy pardons the poor gardeners. The Queen, like most characters in the story are mad, but she is being coddled and protected in her madness. The spider woman, on the contrary, is a commit to be reckoned with and has real power. Later both girls realized it was just a front and the places become scary.Each girl then finds themselves fighting to get back home to their normal lives. The adventures, though scary, changed the lives of the young girls. They both became stronger in who they were. Although the girls werent very happy with their real life before their journeys, they were still happy to be home. They both learned something or became a stronger individual. Though they were terrified during their journey, something good comes from everything bad. The girls learned to appreciate what they had and to be careful what they wish for.
