Reading Diary A - Alice in Wonderland

For this reading diary, I am reading Alice in Wonderland.

Down the Rabbit Hole - Alice was tired of watching after her sister, so she let her mind wander.  She was suddenly surprised when a white rabbit jumped in front of her and checked the time on a pocket watch!  She followed the rabbit down the rabbit hole it had scurried into.  The hole became a long tunnel and suddenly she was in a large room with different jars.  She wondered where she was because she was suddenly in a very curious place.

Down the Rabbit-Hole (cont.) - Alice was very confused as to where she was.  She looked down a passage and saw the white rabbit scurrying in front of her, so she followed the passage.  It led her to a room filled with locked doors.  She then saw a gold key, which unlocked one of the doors!  It led to a garden but sadly, she would not fit because the door was so small.  She thought it was no use trying to get into the door, but then she found a bottle that said "Drink Me".

Down the Rabbit-Hole (end.) - Suddenly Alice found herself only 10 inches high.  She went to go to the door, but she had forgotten the key on the table!  She tried to climb up, but she wasn't able to climb up.  Then she found a small cake labeled "Eat Me".  She ate the cake and started to grow.  She then struck the roof of the room!

Advice from the Caterpillar - "Who are you" asked the Caterpillar.  Alice wasn't very sure how to respond.  The caterpillar and alice went back and forth discussing who exactly she was.

Advice from the Caterpillar (cont.) - The young man asked Father William if it was ok for him to stand on his head at such an old age.  The young man asked the same thing about him somersaulting backwards time and time again.  Father williams said each time that because he was old, he did not have to worry about injuring something.

Advice from the Caterpillar (end.) - Alice was very much glad to finally back to a normal size.  She then suddenly found herself covered in green sea-leaves where a pigeon mistook her for a serpent.  The pigeon thought she was a serpent and not a little girl because she had a rather long neck, due to the mushroom.  She went on her way until she found the same mushroom and ate a little bit to make herself go down in size.

Pig and Pepper - A fish-footman and a frog-footman both pulled up to the house that was in front of Alice.  Alice tried to get into the house but the frog-footman said there was no point in knocking.  The ruckus in the house was so loud no one could hear her knocking.  The Duchess was cooking in the kitchen, and could not see anyone outside of the kitchen.

Pig and Pepper (cont.) - Alice said she didn't know a lot about cheshire cats, and the Duchess agreed with her.  The cook then started to throw everything in the kitchen at the Duchess.  The Duchess and the cook started fighting with each other and yelling at each other.  Alice cared for the little baby, because the Duchess had put the baby to the side.

Pig and Pepper (end.) - Alice set the pig down and it walked into the forest.  Alice asked the cheshire cat how was the way to go, and the cheshire said it was dependent upon where she wanted to go.  Alice started walking and then she saw the march hare.
