Week 11 Reading Diary A [Alice in Wonderland]

Down the rabbit hole: 
Alice is sitting on the bank with her sister as she reads a book. A white rabbit suddenly passes her interrupting her daydream. The rabbit was saying that he was going to be late which should have alerted her but it seemed so natural she didn't think anything of it. The rabbit had pink eyes, a pocket watch, and dressed. He was so curious she decided to follow it down a rabbit hole. The rabbit hole was very long but Alice finds it is filled with shelves. As she goes down, she muses to herself. When she finally gets down she stumbles upon a dark hallway with a table with a key on it which fit a door. She finds a drink that says drink me so she inspects it in case it it poison. It isn't so she drinks it. It makes her small enough to fit through the little door but she forgot the key which is on the table. She finds a cake that says eat me which made her tall. So tall that she hit the roof. Now she couldn't go anywhere. The story cuts off too chapter 4 where she first sees the caterpillar. 

Caterpillar:

Alice and the caterpillar did not get along at first. He kept asking her who she was to which she replied she didn't know anymore now that she has been so many different sizes. I don't know why she didn't just say Alice. The caterpillar advises her how to become taller. She did something wrong and her neck got really long. A pigeon accused her of being a serpent. She finally got it right though.

Pig and Pepper:
Alice stumbles upon a house where the duchess gets an invitation to play croquet with the queen. Alice puts too much pepper in the soup and the duchess calls her a pig. This is where we first meet the Cheshire cat. The duchess tends to her baby which turns out to be a pig but then ignores it. Alice decides to tend to it but it trots off in the woods. 

'Oh, you can't help that,' said the Cat: 'we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.' Source
