Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Victoria García. Primero Nivel Avanzado Inglés

       When I was a teenager, I read Alice´s Adventures in Wonderland, but I didn´t really understand anything because I found it very difficult. Now I have tried to read it in English and it has been hard work again because of the vocabulary, the puns, the jokes and other things.
       What was Mr. Carroll really thinking about when he began to write the book? Is this, in fact, the way he kept away from the ordered world of Mathematics? Was this story a refuge of madness from his very conservative personality and preference for order? These are some of the questions that I make to myself after reading it.
       My favourite parts, the most amazing ones in the book are Alice´s adventure in the kitchen, when she met a Cheshire cat who is always grinning, and the crocket game when the Queen was always ordering people’s beheading.
       The main trouble when you read this book is to keep attention while you are reading nonsense dialogues and a sequence of unfinished situations.
       In conclusion, it is not an easy book, and it is very difficult falling in love with it.

Dupond et Dupont Activité(s) Inspecteurs de la police judiciaire Première apparition → Les Cigares du pharaon (version N&B 1934) Dupond et Dupont (appelés les Dupondt collectivement ) Ce sont deux policiers de comédie qui travaillent en équipe. Historique Ils apparaissent pour la première fois dans l'album de 1934 en noir et blanc → Les Cigares du pharaon dans lequel ils se font appeler X33 et X33 bis. Ils sont cependant présents de façon anonyme dans l'album en couleur → Tintin au Congo de 1946 (dans la première case). Ils ne figuraient pas dans l'édition originale en noir et blanc. Dupont et Dupond sont physiquement semblables en tout point sauf un: la forme de leur moustache. Celle de Dupond est droite ou en forme de D incliné, alors que celle de Dupont est troussée ou en forme de T épais renversé. L'orthographe de leurs noms laisse à penser qu'ils ne sont pas frères, quoique comme pour Tintin lui-même il n'est pas clair si Dupond/t est ...
