Curiosity Almost Killed Alice

     The book Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll, is about a girl who gets herself into trouble, in her own dream. Alice first gets into trouble with her curiosity when she wants to know why the White Rabbit is in such a big hurry. Alice stays in trouble after she eats and drinks mysterious things that helps her grow and shrink. She eventually gets to the house of the March Hare, where there is a tea party. Alice’s curiosity then leads her to the castle of The Queen of Hearts. At the castle, Alice plays a game of croquet with the Queen and other people who live in the wonderland. Alice was in danger of having her head cut off by the Queen. Alice could have perished in her dream many of ways due to her curiosity. Curiosity can be bad but can also be good for people.
     Sometimes curiosity can be a bad thing. Curiosity could get a person in trouble with things like drugs and breaking the law. Drugs are bad because they can be bad to a persons body. Breaking the law is bad because it could get a person in trouble with the police. There are good things curiosity can do for people also though.
     Curiosity can be good for trying new things. Some new things could be new foods and activities. I have learned that I like certain types of food due to curiosity. I also know that I like to write stories and books. Without curiosity I would have never known certain things that I like to do.
    Alice could have been killed in wonderland due to her curiosity about where the White Rabbit was off to in such a hurry to get to. There are both good and bad things to being curious about depending on what the thing is about.
