The Life of Lewis Carroll

I think that Lewis Carroll lived two seperate, but relating lives. As his life as a writer, he was very creative and aimed his work at his younger readers. In his most famous tale, "Alice in Wonderland" he brings the reader through deep levels of imagination and locks into the childish part of his writing ability. These "childish" attributes have raised some eyebrows. For him writing like this has brought up accusasions of drug use and other illict behaviors. He was named Charles Lutwidge Dodgson at birth, but later used the name Lewis Carroll for this piece of work alone. He did it to keep confidentiality with his fellow mathematicians. Along with writing and his passion for math, he was a reverened and a child photographer. Some of the shots that he had taken as a photographer were a bit scandalous, with the children often nude taking the pictures. After the discussion in class yesterday, I am very eager to start reading Carroll's piece. I hope he is an as interesting writer as he is in his personal life.
