The lens of perception provides a practical view of the real world and also provides the guidance regarding how better we could relate ourselves with the world. Lens of perception is considered as a thing of utmost importance in the field of psychology and sociology. With the help of this lens of perception individuals often create a sense of reality. This suggests the fact that there is no such thing like a universal truth in the world. It is the perception of the people which makes any particular thing popular while discarding or ignoring other things. As far as the case of the novel; Alice in the wonder world is concerned,...
The writer of the novel was Lewis Carroll and the history has confirmed that he perceive the things bigger than its original size. Though the things were not big in reality but he observed the things existing around him in the unique way.
