Alice
was in a field with her sister when she saw a rabbit. Not just any rabbit
though, this one talked and had a watch. She followed it down a rabbit hole and
began to fall all the way down. I thought the part about how people at home
would consider her brave because the fall was much worse than going down stairs
was funny. I thought it was weird that she was talking to herself while she was
falling, and that her conversations were so nonchalant. And how do you almost
fall asleep while falling? After she lands, she is in a room and there is a
tiny door that she can’t fit through. Suddenly a bottle appears on the table
with the words “drink me” on it. Clearly Alice has never been to a frat part
because she drinks it without even knowing what it is, although, at least she
checks to see if it is marked poison. The juice then makes her small enough to
go through the door to get to the garden, but now she can’t reach the key to
open the door. Then she eats some cake. This girl is very adventurous. Then her
feet start to disappear from what I understood. Then she went off into a rant
about sending her feet presents and how it would be addressed. I found this
part quite amusing. This part ends with her entering the garden and talking to
a caterpillar that she finds on top of a giant mushroom.
The
caterpillar and Alice started to talk and Alice lost her temper so the
caterpillar told her not to do that. Alice also told the caterpillar about her
frustrations about not remembering who she really is and how she is having
trouble communicating. Then the
caterpillar went into a long poem about Father William. I do not like poetry
and this form of writing so I found it hard to understand. Or maybe Alice told
the poem, that was also confusing to me. The caterpillar then smoked some
hookah, and started to walk away but as he was walking away stated that one
side would make her grow taller and the other shorter. The caterpillar was
referring to the mushroom, so Alice ate a bit of both sides to figure out which
one would make her a little bigger. Suddenly a pigeon mistook her for a serpent
since the mushroom made her look like one. Then the pigeon let her go, but only
after accusing her of want to eat its’ eggs. Alice then continued eating part
of the mushroom until she was her desired height at 9 inches.
So
Alice decides to enter a house she sees. There is a man outside, he is very odd
and doesn’t really answer her questions about getting into the house.
Eventually Alice just goes in and she sees a cook, a cat, and a mother nursing
a baby. Then Alice goes on into conversation with the Duchess about the cat and
other nonsense. Then the duchess sings a rather odd lullaby to her baby. The
Alice took the baby as the Duchess left to go play croquet with the Queen. Then
she let the baby go off into the woods because it was more of a pig than a
baby. Then the cat and Alice had a conversation and the cat explained that
everyone there was mad/crazy. Then the cat said he would see Alice at the Queen’s
place and disappeared. So Alice went on her journey.
Alice practically
invites herself to a tea party when she sees there are several chairs and only
three people there. They get upset with her and then start talking about
riddles. They gave her a riddle that they didn’t even know the answer to. It
was very odd. Then the hatter explained why it is always tea time and how it
happened when the queen got upset at a music concert saying they were killing
time. So time is forever stuck at 6 o’clock which is tea time. Then the
dormouse started to tell them all a story. Alice asks a lot of questions. She
always kind of acts like a know it all too. The story didn’t make any sense and so Alice
got mad and left. She then saw a tree with a door in it and it led her into the
garden.
So there were
gardeners painting flowers red in fear that the queen would see they had
accidentally planted a white rose bush. Then the queen came and wanted to
behead Alice, and then saw the flowers and wanted the gardeners beheaded. Alice
said no to the queen and so the queen asked her to play croquet. It was odd and
a lot happened at once. When Alice went to play croquet she realized how hard
it was since they used live animals to play with, and even soldiers as the
arches. The queen would get upset with all of the players and start saying “Off
with their heads.” Alice started talking to the Cheshire cat, which I couldn’t
understand if it was in the sky or what. Anyways, the queen wanted it to be
beheaded but it only had a head so they started to argue about how you behead
something that is only a head and then the cat disappeared.
This next scene
is in a courtroom; they are trying to determine who stole the tarts. The first
witness is the hatter. He was a nervous wreck and could barely get out what he
was trying to say. The next witness was the cook. Then the rabbit got up to say
who the next witness was and he read off Alice’s name. Plot twist!!!
They call Alice
up and she tells them that she has no evidence. She keeps growing bigger and
bigger. They bring a note they found and it has a poem on it, which is just
really confusing. Alice stands up to the queen who says to behead her, which
would be very difficult since Alice is now her normal size. Then the cards start flying up to attack
Alice, and suddenly she awakes from this dream and tells her sister what had
happened as best as she could.
