            In modern society it's not unusual for people to be judged based on social standing and or social class. The book Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll is about a young girl named Alice who finds her self in "another world" known as wonderland. She finds herself struggling to fit in with all the different people she meets in her journey. She meets a wide range of characters like a white rabbit, Mad Hatter, and the Queen of Hearts. Mostly everyone finds Alice weird just because she is a little more sane and "normal" from the people in Wonderland.
            At first Alice is all alone in the story she soon finds the White Rabbit which ins't very helpful because he doesn't even stop to help her he just keeps running around. Then later on in the book the once the White Rabbit finally decides to talk to Alice, he mistakes Alice for his servant,he even said, "Why Mary Ann, What are you doing out here? Run home this moment, and fetch me a pair of gloves and a fan". This shows he is very judgmental on social class and he assumes she is a servant just by how she looks and what she is wearing.Alice even comes across a caterpillar sitting on top of a giant mushroom and smoking on a hookah pipe. The caterpillar gets very complicated while talking to Alice, she gets very annoyed with him so she quickly turns around to leave. The Caterpillar soon calls her back and recites a poem, Alice then needs help with changing her size. Right before the Caterpillar leaves he informs Alice to eat one side of the mushroom and he is then gone.
           Then Alice soon comes across The Queen of Hearts, the ruler of Wonderland. Alice finds her severely dominant, constantly screaming for her subjects to be beheaded.Alice gets a little frightened by The queen of Hearts because she isn't used to that type of dominant person. Even the queen turns out a little strange to Alice, she plays a ridiculous game of croquet, the ground is rigged, the croquet balls are live hedgehogs, and the mallets are live flamingos. Everything seems so strange and weird for Alice in Wonderland, people think she is weird for being less crazier than them, and The White Rabbit even judged her on her social class
           All in all I think you should just be yourself if it makes you happy because people are all different with different opinions so either way, people will judge you. Its terrible and cruel for a person to judge anybody on social class because people do have money problems and can be living in poverty, so others don't have rights to talk about it. Be yourself and be happy because that's the best thing you could do
