Lewis Carroll's childrens' stories, and how they teach us about conflict
Alice In Wonderland is famous for being both nonsensical and also logical. The child in me loves both logic and nonsense, logic is for all of us a safe refuge in the so-called "known", and you can be sure of it, as with the rules of geometry. When you are in the real world or in nature or the world of the sea, everything changes constantly, and children are more aware of this than us, because they are growing constantly, and I think Lewis Carroll was very aware of this when he had Alice grow tall and then short, rather like in a fun house of mirrors. But in reality that's life seen from a child's angle.
Lewis Carroll's take that a child's view of life must look quite crazy must have been innovative for its time, that's a special observation of his Alice stories. He may have been the first thinker to express that, it would certainly have stirred the Victorians. Because he was a mathematician Carroll did realize how sharply it contrasted with the logic and mathematics of the so-called adult world, although adults, whilst they retreat into their heads are going through their own growth, their awful evolution of body and self, but they tend to ignore that to be occupied with their mental efforts.
In Wonderland and The Looking Glass, we become immersed in conflicts between the characters, they are very much talking nonsense and are quite anxious about the fact that they don't agree with each other and being at loggerheads. This shows conflict from a fresh angle, the argumentative nature portrayed as ridiculous.
In Lewis Carroll's stories, he has her in conflict with the experiences themselves, she can't agree with a lot of them. She's in conflict with them, but its a dreamlike conflict that is episodic and goes from one conflict to another without ever being resolved. But it still is a playful conflict, Lewis Carroll demonstrates that conflict can be very playful, absurd, if carried to extremes or even if trivialized and that's part of the wonder of his books.
Its something that appeals to me as somebody who's written plays most of my life and dealt with conflict on the stage continually, sometimes very seriously, sometimes comically, with the realization that each dramatic incident I've ever written about, whether its serious or comic could also be acted as the other. The serious could be acted as a comedy, and vice versa, Lewis Carroll was I think fully aware of that switch.
It is clear, especially for children reading the story, that the conflicts happening are silly. This could be a good perspective for them in terms of understanding what happens in life as also a good perspective for us too! And of course children's lives are entirely immersed in conflict from the time they open their eyes in the morning till the time they shut them at night. There's no moment without disagreement with their guardians. From the moment they don't want to drink their milk or go to school or want to go feet first down the stairs instead of head first, whatever - they're in conflict with adults.
And it must make the world seem crazy to them, because it is spent entirely in conflict. Maybe they make it into a silly conflict just in order to be able to endure it. So they're seeing the characters deal with both logic and nonsense, and seeing too the playfulness of that, despite the drama and the anxiety portrayed.
As adults, when we see a drama onstage, we get a perspective and we can see it could be a comedy, and we can see the comic side of the tragedy because of the distance we have from it. Children are able to make that leap to have distance, and laugh at themselves as well as at the adults, within the conflict, and that is an amazing thing to see and to experience.
That is maybe how to overcome conflict in life, through a sense of detachment, and then fullness. The conflict does not take away from us, we stay in our strength, we are not fooled, and that is not always true for everyone.
We could learn from being childlike, being a beginner, as a child learns and grows through conflict and other experiences and when we stop doing that and regard it as an annoyance, we stop being a child and stop learning and growing.

Where can I find a website to help me appraise old comic books?
We were cleaning out my sisters new house and found an old MAD comic book and we are wondering where we can find out how much it is possibly worth.
People always assume their old comics are worth money.
98% of the time, old comics are worth nothing.
Ebay is a site you could check.
