research the origins of festivals
(u)A festival is an event, usually  staged by a local community, which celebrates some unique aspect of that community.

A festival is an event, usually and ordinarily staged by a local community, which centers on and celebrates some unique aspect of that community.

Among many religions, a feast is a set of celebrations in honour of God or gods. A feast and a festival are historically interchangeable. However, the term "feast" has also entered common secular parlance as a synonym for any large or elaborate meal. When used as in the meaning of a festival, most often refers to a religious festival rather than a film or art festival.

In the Christian liturgical calendar there are two principal feasts, properly known as the Feast of the Nativity of our Lord (Christmas) and the Feast of the Resurrection, (Easter). In the CatholicEastern Orthodox, and Anglican liturgical calendars there are a great number of lesser feasts throughout the year commemorating saints, sacred events, doctrines, etc.

review :kettle's yard house

the house was pretty smelly and old and had a atmosphere too it.
the downstairs was small and cramped and as i walked up the narrow staircase i expected nore of the same but the hoouse seemed to expand suddenly in every which way possible. it just seemed to keep on going . it was if we were in alice and wonderland.
the house had four stories and each layer of the cake and something different too offer ..
as you walk through the front door onto the bottonm floor the main rooms are the ,living room and bedroom and bathroom but as we whent up stairs the rooms became more exstraveagant like a library and a gallery to name a few and it seemed like they were just trying to fill space.

ALICE IN WONDERLAND

ALICE IN WONDERLANd
a couple of weeks ago now i whent to the cinema in cambridge to see alice in wonderland . as we walked into the cinima i looked up to find some seats and ther was a sea of 3D glasses glanceing back at me like an army reay to atack and it was then that i realise that this was a real box office sel out. the workeed in magnisifent ways and worked wonders for the eyes adn mind. the 3D glasses help you to become part of the film and live on the edge as the charecters roll in and out of trouble. in alice and wonderland there are many ocation were she has fallen down a hole or into a tea pot or faut a jaberwokky. but with the privledje of 3D glasses you can fight and fall with alice.
Telegraph Online Review-Though no-one could doubt director Tim Burton’s flair for eye-popping imagery, he sometimes seems less interested in telling compelling stories. Yet the first hour of his Alice in Wonderland, a 3-D adaptation -- part animated, part live action -- of Lewis Carroll’s two Alice books, offers both narrative thrust and giddy, exaggerated visuals. It rattles along beautifully.

Early on, a 19 year old Alice (Mia Wasikowska) sulkily rides in a carriage to a gathering at a stately home. It gradually dawns on her that this is her engagement party, and a foppish young lord publicly proposes.

Employing a modern idiom – “I need a moment” – she flees, pursuing into a thicket a white rabbit only she can see, and falls down a rabbit hole – at which point the film kicks into overdrive.

In quick succession, Alice, locked in a chamber, figures out that a potion on a table can make her huge or tiny. She makes her escape into a Gothic landscape and soon meets her major allies – a Mad Hatter, a March Hare, a Cheshire cat and a wise caterpillar.

We know from a prologue she first visited this place at age six, and thought it was called Wonderland. In fact, it’s Underland, and it holds more dangers and challenges than she knew.

Linda Woolverton (The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast) has fashioned screenplay that radically re-imagines Carroll’s stories, and targets the lucrative teen market.

Thus Alice is sceptical, serious-minded, with a frequent frown. Her wisecrack about the aristocracy’s decline hints at radical views. We learn she wears neither a corset nor stockings; combined with rejecting her suitor, this suggests a young woman liberated before her time.

In Underland, these tendencies are underlined. Alice repeats that this is her dream and she can do what she likes: her sense of self-determination makes Carroll’s Alice seem insipid.

Given how enjoyably Burton’s film proceeds, this matters little. Mia Wasikowska, so striking in the HBO series In Treatment, confirms herself as a hugely impressive actress.

The creatures inhabiting Underland are voiced delightfully: Matt Lucas as dim, muttering Tweedledum and Tweedledee, represented as two amusing animated versions of himself: fruity-toned Alan Rickman as the caterpillar and Stephen Fry sweetly urbane as the evaporating Cheshire Cat.

There are two undeniable star turns. First: Helena Bonham Carter, as the Red Queen – cruel, petulant and childish, bawling “Off with his head!” on the flimsiest pretext. Her own real head, massively oversized, perches atop a small computer-generated body. With this funny, outrageous turn, Bonham Carter approaches national treasure status.

Burton’s long-time muse Johnny Depp is ideal as the mercurial Mad Hatter; with his shock of horizontal red hair and manic gap-toothed grin, he switches moods (and accents) in rapid succession.

Yet after an hour the story stops dead and anticipates Alice’s climactic battle with the Jabberwock. Sadly, it’s derivative, straight from Lord of the Rings, as armour-clad Alice brandishes a sword beneath lowering clouds and craggy cliffs. All the preceding playful inventiveness is jettisoned for a routine hero-myth climax. What a letdown.
