Week 11 Reading Diary: Alice in Wonderland

This week I decided to read Alice in Wonderland.

Down the Rabbit-Hole
  • Alice was bored out of her mind sitting with her sister when a rabbit in a waistcoat ran by.
  • she followed it and went down the rabbit hole.
  • it was a long fall. She passed several things on the way down.
  • the fall was very long, and she started talking to herself.
  • the white rabbit was hurrying down a passage, and Alice quickly followed it. 
  • she came upon a room with doors all around, but they were all locked.
  • on the three-legged table made of glass was a key, but either it was too small or the doors too big, it didn't work, until she came upon a door about fifteen inches high.
  • she couldn't fit through the door.
  • on the table, she found a bottle with the words DRINK ME printed on it. 
  • she was now only ten inches high.
  • when she went to the door, she had forgetten the key on the table. 
  • she then spotted a little glass box containing a cake with the words EAT ME on it.
  • it made her grow enough to get the key. 
  • she went through the door.
  • the Caterpillar asks who Alice is.
  • she argues back and forth with the Caterpillar about her identity crisis.
  • her arms, shoulders, and legs disappeared so she had to slither on the ground like a snake.

Pig and Pepper
  • a footman delivered a letter from the queen to the Duchess to play croquet.
  • she came to knock upon the door.
  • she finally went inside. There was too much pepper in the soup, and she meets the Cheshire cat.
  • If everybody minded their own business, the world would go round a deal faster than it does.
  • Alice was handed the pig-baby to take care of.
  • she set the pig- baby down and it trotted off into the woods.
  • she decided to go the direction of the March Hare's house. 
  • the chimneys were shaped like ears and the roof was thatched with fur.
