Wolf Alice
I've read this piece previously in our Novels and Tales class and it's interesting to switch perspectives when reading the piece. After reading it looking at the body, I'd thought it was interesting, but now taking the lens of identity it's intriguing to look at as well. When Alice looked in the mirror she didn't recognize herself, her body image was nothing that she thought it was. Growing up and living with wolves, having no mirrors around it's not surprising that she simply thought that she was a wolf. Taking a look in the mirror, changing and becoming a woman, this must have mentally took a toll on Alice. Who is she really? If she's not a wolf, who is she? What is she? The confusion of identity was probably overwhelming. It's shocking to think about such a life-changing realization. What would I do if one day I realized I'm not at all who I thought I was for the past twenty years? What would you do? How would one react?
