I found this website that listed some life lessons that was taught in the movie Alice In Wonderland and knew that it would definitely be helpful for my assignment because it is a Tim Burton directed film and one of the things I have to explore are the common themes and messages throughout all of his films.

Alice in Wonderland is in many ways a coming of age story of a little girl who realizes the strength and potential of her imagination. Along the way, Alice in Wonderland imparts many life lessons to her readers, too. Here are seven of our favorites.
1. It’s no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then.Lesson: Don’t try to go back to the person you once were or cling to the past.Instead, grow and change, and become an even better version of you in the process.
2. If everybody minded their own business, the world would go around a great deal faster than it does. Lesson: Of course it’s important that we care about our fellow human beings, but minding our own business when it comes to gossip and the affairs of others is always a good rule to live by.
3. You’re entirely bonkers. But I’ll tell you a secret. All the best people are. Lesson: You have to be a little bit crazy to make it in this world! Some of the happiest people embrace their own eccentricities, and don’t judge others for not being “normal.”
4. There ought to be a book written about me, that there ought! And when I grow up, I’ll write one. Lesson: Each of us has a story to tell, and learning to value our experiences, feelings skills is an important step towards self-fulfillment—whether you write your own memoir or not!
5. Begin at the beginning, and go on till you come to the end: then stop. Lesson: Every great journey begins with a small step. You’ll know when you’ve reached the end, of a project, relationship or other journey, when you get there!
6. Everything’s got a moral. If only you can find it. Lesson: We have something to learn from virtually every experience of our lives, even the most difficult ones. When you come out the other side of a difficult period, you’ll look back and see how much you learned and grew from it.
7. She generally gave herself very good advice, though she very seldom followed it. Lesson: How many times have you given others advice you wish you would take yourself? We must listen to both our hearts and our heads in order to make the right decisions—especially the tough decisions of life.
