After a somewhat doubtful victory, the White Knight promises to show Alice to the end of the forest, where she can cross into the eighth square and become a queen. He is terribly awkward and keeps an odd assortment of things tied onto his saddle. He tells Alice about his inventions, all of which are pathetically ineffective. Before he leaves her, he sings her a song about meeting a poor old man. She sees him off as he rides away. Then, she enters the eighth square, where she finds a golden crown on her head."

Charles Lutwidge Dodgson or, as an author of literature, Lewis Carroll, was born 27 January 1832 in the parsonage of Daresbury in Warrington, Cheshire, North West England. Charles was born to an upper-middle class family and was the oldest boy of eleven children – four boys and seven girls. Surprisingly for the era, all eleven children survived to adulthood, which is testament to the relative wealth of the Dodgson family. Early on in his life, Charles showed a keen interest in literature and the family kept “reading lists” that imply a very precocious intellect – at the age of seven, he was reading John Bunyan’s allegorical The Pilgrim's Progress from This World to That Which Is to Come. From 1844 to 1853, Charles attended a private school in Richmond, the Rugby School, and ultimately college at Oxford. In 1856, he began a 25-year exploration of photography which, aside from literature, authoring mathematical texts and teaching at Oxford, was Charles’s main hobby. In the same year, Charles created his first piece of work under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll. He chose the name Lewis Carrol because Lewis was the anglicized version of Ludovicus, Latin for Lutwidge, and Carroll was the anglicized version of Carolus, Latin for Charles. On a boating trip in 1862, Charles told the base story for Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland to a young girl named Alice Liddell, who begged Charles to write it down. He published the work in 1865 and published Through the Looking-Glass and what Alice Found There in 1872. He also published the mock-epic The Hunting of the Snark in 1876 and finally the two-volume Sylvie and Bruno in 1889 and 1893. From the completion of his education at Oxford, Dodgson had resided and taught at Christ Church College until retiring in 1881. From then on he continued living at Christ Church until he died at the age of 65 on 14 January 1898. ( This would be the Part 2 Title	As is obviated by his legacy, Lewis Carroll had two true loves in his life: the blissful placidity of childhood and the art he created that reflected it. His two most famous literary pieces, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass confront his views on childhood head-on.  Specifically in Through the Looking Glass, he spins an imaginative thread that parallels the tangled path of adolescence.  Some view the book as Carroll’s attempt to project the physical and emotional changes coupled with growing up through a nonsensical narrative; some view it as simply an extended nursery rhyme.  Examining Carroll’s motives exposes a much more fundamental purpose, though – Through the Looking Glass serves as a heartfelt eulogy and ill-reputed obloquy.  It is a despairing tribute to Carroll’s personal friend, Alice Pleasance Liddell; characters and events in the mystical world of Wonderland are only masks and diversions covering Carroll’s pain from abandonment and the unrequited love he felt for the real-life Alice. (Wikipedia Lewis Carroll) Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, the prequel to Through the Looking Glass, was told by Lewis Carroll to Alice Liddell and her sisters, Lorina and Edith, in the summer of 1862 while picnicking out on the River Thames. Alice loved it so much that she begged him to write it down for her. Carroll had been excellent friends with Alice from the moment he met her – when they met, Carroll was 29, and young Alice was only 9. Alice and her sisters were used frequently by Carroll as photographic subjects, but “Alice was clearly the favorite throughout these years.” Carroll’s relationship with Alice Liddell flourished for a good four years, but suddenly in June of 1863, something decimated their friendship. It is not known exactly what caused the sudden break, but Carroll walked away from Alice rather scarred. Late in his life, Carroll denied using Liddell as a basis for the girl in both Alice tales, and while this may be entirely true, it is clear that both stories were at least dedicated to Liddell. (Wikipedia Alice Liddell). In Through the Looking Glass though, the links connecting Alice Liddell to the fictional Alice, Carroll to a handful of characters that interact with Alice, and the pair’s real relationship to the ones forged in the novel are far too fortified and logical to simply discount because of what could be denial on Carroll’s part. One major indication that Alice is extremely important to Carroll is the acrostic poem at the end of Through the Looking Glass. The first letter of each row spells out “Alice Pleasance Liddell” – a tribute written to Alice many years after their severance – and a good sign that Alice was still on Carroll’s mind. A boat, beneath a sunny sky Lingering onward dreamily In an evening of July— Children three that nestle near, Eager eye and willing ear, Pleased a simple tale to hear— Long has paled that sunny sky: Echoes fade and memories die: Autumn frosts have slain July. Still she haunts me, phantomwise, Alice moving under skies Never seen by waking eyes. Children yet, the tale to hear, Eager eye and willing ear, Lovingly shall nestle near. In a Wonderland they lie, Dreaming as the days go by, Dreaming as the summers die: Ever drifting down the stream— Lingering in the golden gleam— Life, what is it but a dream? (Carroll, 239) Through the Looking Glass follows Alice on the confusing path from pre-pubescence to adolescence. This is portrayed in the story as Alice traveling across a chessboard as a lowly pawn to become a Queen “when [she] get[s] to the Eighth Square,” (Carroll, 145). The Red Queen, who has promised her this destination, then lays out a series of confusing instructions on how to reach the Eighth Square. The Queen vanishes, and Alice sees that it will “soon be time for her to move,” (Carroll, 148); she, expectedly, is excited about things to come.
