Jabber
There was a book lying near Alice on the table and while she sat watching the White King (for she was still a little anxious about him, and had the ink all ready to throw over him, in case he fainted again), she turned over the leaves, to find some part that she could read, "--for it's all in some language I don't know", she said to herself. She puzzled over this for some time, but at last a bright thought struck her. "Why, it's a Looking-glass book, of course! And if I hold it up to a glass, the words will all go the right way again." This was the poem that Alice read…. …... "It seems very pretty", she said when she had finished it, "but it's rather hard to understand!"

The Jabberwock has jaws as well as claws not unlike a demon. Its fiery eyes bring the reader visions of hell. Because this creature is evil, it has to be killed, just like the evil in many a story is sought after and decimated. In society, when we look to defeat evil, do we not assume ourselves good and seek praise when we appear to have accomplished this task (for the moment anyway)? Boys battle Balrogs not only for pure amusement, but also to prove their strengt
