I'm Alice, seven years and six months old and very good at daydreaming. I think so because my favourite phrase, that I use very often, is ,, Let's pretend" whether it is about pretending that Kitty is a chess pawn or that I'm going through the looking-glass. I always take my best friends, Snowbell, Dina and Kitty, with me to my quests but they seem to appear as someone else so I usually recognise them only later. But it doesn't matter. They're my best friends in the real world and I talk to them all the time.
to see something the bottom of the page or, as sometimes is the case with digital editions, at the end of the chapter, but Norman or his publisher have made a decision to have them as notes at the end of the book and, as a result, I never read through them, although Norman is supplying numerous - often valuable - commentaries to the main text in them. It's a shame the book wasn't read as a hard copy or Norman's daydreaming of hypertext (p.??) wasn't incorporated into the digital edition. This formatting decision I consider a shortcoming of the book too. DOET is about to be republished in a new, updated edition this year, and should this edition include major updates to sections pertaining anticipation of the future, a lot of portions in the present edition may be forgiven - it is quite uncomfortable to read Norman's musings and fears for

History painters had to create a demand for their paintings. History paintings encapsulated the patriotic duty to memorialize the country's struggle for independence and human rights. Allston was America's first truly Romantic artist and expressed the themes of mystery, terror and poetic daydreaming. Artists: John Trumbull, John Vanderlyn, Washington Allston. Landscape, Genre and Still Life. In late-C18, these were almost entirely neglected. Guy painted city life, Birch painted the seascape. The "Peale formula" was adhered to: objects along tableware against a dark background. Also, trompe-l'oeil persisted via Charles Willson's Peale's sons.

My homework was done -- the product of a slow social life -- but there were a few Trig problems I wasn't sure I had right. I took out my book industriously, but halfway through rechecking the first problem I was daydreaming, watching the sunlight play on the red-barked trees. I sketched inattentively along the margins of my homework. After a few minutes, I suddenly realized I'd drawn five pairs of dark eyes staring out of the page at me.

Wishing is important, for it is the first step in a pyramid of mental states, the yearning of a seed to grow into something great. It forms the initial intention of a story, or the beginning of a 308 STORIES A R E ALIVE new phase of someone's life.
