Down the Rabbit Hole
-Alice- normal girl, has a sister, bored, follows White Rabbit with pink eyes (albino?)
-fell down the hole
-”Down, down, down. There was nothing else to do, so Alice soon began talking again”
-entertaining herself
-didn’t hurt self when fell
-”There were doors all round the hall, but they were all locked, and when Alice had been all the way down one side and up the other, trying every door, she walked sadly down the middle, wondering how she was ever to get out again.”
-mystical objects: small door, three-legged glass table, tiny golden key, drink, little glass box
Advice from a Caterpillar
-Caterpillar- could talk, hookah, sleepy
-”Who are YOU?”
-accused Alice of having a temper
-repetition
-seeing a lot in this story that seems like the nursery rhymes I read last week!
- good advice?
Pig and Pepper
-Fish-Footman
-”From the Queen. An invitation for the Duchess to play croquet”
-EXCITING: favorite character
-Cheshire Cat
- “‘You don’t know much,’ said the Duchess, ‘and that’s a fact’”
-the rhymes have different formats
Love this quote: So she set the little creature down and felt quite relieved to see it trot away quietly into the wood. 'If it had grown up,' she said to herself, 'it would have made a dreadfully ugly child: but it makes rather a handsome pig, I think.'
