Based on prior knowledge about Lewis Carroll, what can be predicted about his children’s novel Through The Looking-Glass?
A. It does not teach a lesson or have a moral.
B. It teaches kids about science and math.
C. It is about a little boy named Anthony.
D. It was originally written in Spanish.
well, it is not B, nor c, nor D. any ideas?
It's A I just took the test :)
To predict aspects of Lewis Carroll's children's novel "Through the Looking-Glass," we can consider what we already know about him and his writing style. Lewis Carroll, whose real name was Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, was known for his nonsensical and imaginative storytelling. He often incorporated wordplay, puzzles, and mathematical concepts into his work. Given this information, we can eliminate options C and D since there is no indication that the novel is about a little boy named Anthony or that it was originally written in Spanish.
Option A suggests that the novel does not teach a lesson or have a moral. However, since Carroll's works often contain hidden messages and satire, it is unlikely that this option is correct.
Option B, which suggests that the novel teaches kids about science and math, is more likely to be accurate. Carroll's other notable work, "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," also contained elements of mathematics and logic. These elements are further emphasized in "Through the Looking-Glass" with the inclusion of chess motifs and logical puzzles. Therefore, option B is the most plausible prediction about his novel.
