Journal (My Alice Character):
Prompt: Alice recalls advice she received from friends when prsented with the bottle that says "Drink me." Have you ever received advice from friends and/or family members? Did you take it? Why or why not and what if anything did you learn? 

Note: you may wish to apply these journals to your final exam essay that will examine your own life in conjunction with the novel as an allegory about growing up. Details from the journals will likely go right into the piece, so this is advance writing.
