In 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland', the plot is driven by Alice's encounters with various strange characters like the Cheshire Cat and the Queen of Hearts. Each encounter challenges her understanding of the world. In 'Peter Pan', the plot is centered around Peter's adventures with the Lost Boys, his battles with Captain Hook, and his relationship with Wendy. The two stories, though both aimed at children, have different ways of engaging the reader. 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' makes the reader question reality, while 'Peter Pan' makes the reader long for the freedom and innocence of childhood.
