The Mystery song
The Mystery spoken by a child
"I guess, in reality, we're all mysteries, even to ourselves. Perhaps, that's why Alice is so inexplicably relatable." Lauren 9-15 blog
The Mad Hatter: "There is a place. Like no place on Earth. A land full of wonder, mystery, and danger! Some say to survive it: You need to be as mad as a hatter. [picks up his hat] Which luckily I am." provided by Cody

Guided Imagery:
"A Zen-inspired blend of meditation, breathing exercises and focus techniques are in vogue in corporate America—championed by blue-chip employers like Google Inc. and General Mills Inc. as a simple but potent mind-sharpening tool."
Gershman, Jacob. "Lawyers Go Zen, With Few Objections." WSJ. June 18, 2015. Accessed September 20, 2015 by Starfish, E603A
Best and Worst": LISTENING:
Meeting the Cheshire Cat, Alice was "feeling very glad she had someone to listen to her."
Mariah cites Covey: "When we're communicating with one another, we need to give full attention, to be completely present."
"I don't think they can hear me … I feel somehow as if I was getting invisible."" I notice how Alice still struggles to connect with anyone in her adventures. In a way, Alice's feelings of being invisible are relatable. When people don't listen to us, it makes us feel invalidated and unimportant. I detest it when I'm with friends, and they just play on their phone. What's the point of me actually being there? This idea of focusing your energy and heart to the person talking during Best and Worst makes me feel important and valued. When I shared my crazy roommate dilemma/saga, I felt my shoulders shake from how overwhelmed it made me feel to talk about it — since I usually suppress anxiety by not confronting it." KENETTE

Temple Bar*:"After Three Days" *"Temple Bar – A London Magazine for Town and Country Readers...Temple Bar was founded a year after the first publication of William Thackeray's The Cornhill Magazine, by one of Charles Dickens' followers, Sala, who promised his readers that the periodical would be "full of solid yet entertaining matter, that shall be interesting to Englishmen and Englishwomen…and that Filia-familias may read with as much gratification as Pater or Mater-familias", appealing to a solid, literate middle-class.
It sold for about one shilling, and was one of the leading literary magazines of the era. 553 issues were published – up to 1906, about one a month. It published work by writers such as Jane Austen,[citation needed] Wilkie Collins, Charles Reade,Robert Louis Stevenson, Anthony Trollope, Arthur Conan Doyle....." Wikipedia
