Jabberwocky and The Walrus and the Carpenter by Lewis Carroll

Both poems were very interesting to me. I'm not quite sure why someone would write about these two things. Jabberwocky was a little confusing at first to me and still kinda is. I understand the weirdness of it and the strange language because it fits perfectly with the movie/book "Alice in Wonderland", which I also never understood as a kid. It always left me very confused. What I was able to comprehend was that Jabberwocky was about a father warning his son about a monster, who then waits and kills the monster when it comes near him. After he kills the monster, his father praises him. The author, Lewis Carroll ends the poem with the same verse he started it with for emphasis and symbolism. It points out the language and makes that certain verse important to the reader. Also, I actually enjoyed the rhyme scheme of the poem, because it was one thing I could follow. The next poem by Lewis Carroll was a little bit clearer to me. It was about a walrus and a carpenter who take a walk on the beach. They stop and ask oysters to join them. The oldest refuses, but four younger ones join them on their walk. After treating them so well, at their resting point/end of the walk, the oysters say they are hungry from such a long walk and the walrus and carpenter eat the oysters. This poem is pretty straightforward, unless I am missing some deep meaning, but other than that, I did not get anything else out of these two poems.
