Reading Diary B - Alice in Wonderland

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

A Mad Tea Party - The march hare, the mad hatter and the dormouse were all sitting at a table under a tree.  They said there wasn't any room for Alice at the table when there was plenty of room.  Then the four of them began to banter back and forth.  Finally Alice said that she just simply did not understand them.

A Mad Tea Party (cont.) - The dormouse fell asleep again, and none of them could figure out why a raven was like a writing desk.  They continued to banter on together, making absolutely no sense.

A Mad Tea Party (end.) - The four of them still bantered on together, and then finally everybody except for Alice tried to see if they could put the Dormouse into a teapot.  Alice then found an interesting looking path, that she followed.  Before she knew it, she was in a beautiful garden.

The Queen's Croquet Ground - Alice saw three playing cards painting all of the white roses in the garden red.  The three cards heard that the Queen was coming and they became absolutely terrified.  Alice looked around and saw a parade of people.  First were soldiers, then the white rabbit, and then the King and Queen of Hearts.  The Queen became very angry about the white roses, and declared that the three cards should be beheaded.  She then invited Alice to play croquet.

The Queen's Croquet Ground (cont.) - This is the part of the story where Alice plays croquet with the Queen of Hearts.  Alice was very confused by all of it, but then she saw the Cheshire cat was there.


The Queen's Croquet Ground (end.) - Alice was talking to the Cheshire cat and the King found the cat displeasing.  So he had the Queen order his head be cut off.  The executioner tried to behead the cat but it was hard because he did not have a body.

Who Stole The Tarts? - In this chapter, there is a trial of the Knave of Hearts who supposedly took the Queen's tarts.  The trial than turned into focusing on the Mad Hatter and his hats.

Who Stole The Tarts? (cont.) - The trial on the Mad Hatter was very confusing with a lot of people going around in circles.  Then suddenly, Alice heard her named being called to enter into the trial.

Alice's Evidence - Alice suddenly realized that she had grown quite a bit in the last few minutes and completely disrupted the court.  They tried Alice, then they tried to get her to leave the court.

Alice's Evidence (cont.) - The White Rabbit read a poem that the King thought proved someone was guilty.  The Queen then wanted Alice beheaded but since she had grown her full size by this point, she was not going to pay attention to the Queen.  Then Alice's sister woke her up saying she had been asleep for a while.
