Ch.4 Alice in Wonderland

“‘How queer it seems’, Alice said to herself, ‘to be going messages for a rabbit! I suppose Dinah’ll be sending me on messages next!’” P.25

(R) I think that the story has been a rollercoaster since the beginning. No one grows a mile tall, and then ten inches small. After this Alice talks with animals, and now the rabbit is sending her for another white pair of kid gloves! This is strange or queer as said by Alice herself. I think Lewis Carroll has done a marvelous job with story plot line. He has kept it queer and yet it is still a thriller. (C) Being Alice would be very terrifying for me, with all that she has experienced. I wouldn’t have been able to drink out of a mysterious bottle or eat cake. Nor would I run off to fetch white kid gloves for a rabbit, who believes me to be his housemaid.

“An arm, you goose! Who ever saw one that size? Why, it fills the whole window!” P.28

(R) It seems queer to me that the rabbit did not believe it was a arm. Afterall he seems to be the one who has provided the “drink me” bottle which made Alice grow big enough to fill a house. (Q) Why would the rabbit have said that if they are in Wonderland? Is anything possible in Wonderland? (P) Wonderland probably isn’t exactly a land of wonders. If the rabbit who by the information that has been given to us, has lived there for a while and does not believe that an arm could not grow that large, not everything may be possible in Wonderland.
