The Soup and the Dance


Mock turtle soup is made of the body of a turtle and the unused parts of calves, like hooves, tails, and heads. The picture of the mock turtle in the book looks just like the discretion of the soup. The characters in the book sing most of the stories they tell thats why there is so much singing. In the lobster quadrille the lobster is the partner to all the other animals and were the ones thrown out to sea. The mock turtle was singing about soup because Alice wanted to hear a song instead of leaning more of the lobster quadrille, then the Gryphon asked the mock turtle to sing the song also. Alice did not want to be close to the duchess because she was very ugly and was exactly the right height to rest her chin on Alice's shoulder. The rhyme scheme is AABBBB, CCBBBB, DDBBBB. The lobster quadrille dance is preformed by forming two lines of seals, turtles, salmon, and so on. Then they clear all the jelly fish out of the way and advance twice with a lobster partner. After that they change lobsters and tetire in the same order. Then throw the lobsters out as far as they can to sea then swim to go get them. Turn a somersalt in the sea change lobsters again and then back to land.
