Alice and the White Rabbit

















Alice and The White Rabbit

Rabbit took his pocket watch out of his pocket and looked at Alice.

Rabbit – Well Ello Love!

Alice – He He Hello there Mr. Rabbit

Rabbit – How are you on this fine day?

Alice – I’m quite well, baffled I must say to be talking to a rabbit.

Rabbit – (Chuckles) it’s a strange day in deed.

Alice – A strange day?

Rabbit – Well really more of a magical day….

Alice – Magical?

Rabbit – Yes my dear, you must think outside the box, open a new door, expand your mind and see what id there, without over analyzing.

Alice – I see, well then, I am Alice, what’s your name?

Rabbit – I am Newman, servant to a queen, lovely to meet you.

Alice – You too. A queen?

Rabbit – Yes, but let’s not get into that now, tell me a little about yourself.

Alice – Well I’m eleven years old, I have a cat named dumiah, I enjoy her and reading.

Rabbit – Very lovely. Well my dear, Alice! Would you enjoy to see some more miraculous things?

Alice – Oh yes, very much.

Rabbit – Well take this and eat it.

Alice – Hmm will this appears to be a pink fortune cookie. How strange, but who wouldn’t trust a talking rabbit? Crunch

Rabbit – Enjoyable. No?

Alice – Yes very, very good, I feel very excited and at ease.

Rabbit – Well my friend we must be on our way, to the land of wonder. Follow me now. I will see you at the bottom.

Alice – Okay, I shall.

Rabbit – Do not be afraid, it will exceed your wildest dreams.

Alice and the Rabbit jump down the hole.



Stuck in between a hard place and a rock



















Alice- Oh great way to go Alice! Do you really have to drink everything that says “Drink Me”! Now, how will I ever get out of here? Should I try to eat my way out, or should I just wait and see what happens? Oh my god! My clothes don’t even fit! My feet are huge too! Gosh, look how fat I look! How am I gonna get myself back to my normal size? Maybe I will find another bottle lying around. My goodness, it’s hot in this little house! I can’t breathe! Maybe I didn’t grow at all, perhaps everything else shrunk.

Bill- Haha! Look at Alice! How are you gonna get yourself out of this one?

Rabbit- I’ve never seen such a huge girl before, have you Bill?

Bill- Haha! I sure haven’t. Not since your mom came to Thanks Giving last year, anyways.

Alice- You two just need to shut up and figure out a way to get my huge arse out of here!

Rabbit- Since you’re such a big drinker maybe you should look for a bottle that says “Shrink Me”.

Bill- I think we should just sit out here and have a good laugh at you!

Alice- I can’t believe you guys are going to be that mean!

Rabbit- I didn’t know they made clothes that big, did you Bill?

Bill- I don’t know, maybe you should ask your mom where she shops.

Alice- Alright, no more jokes! Just get me out of here!

Rabbit- Ok, eat this.

Alice- Mmm… Cake!

Wonderland of Alice and White Rabbit

What would Alice say if she were to talk to the White Rabbit?

Alice: White Rabbit, White Rabbit, why is it that you never talk to me?

WR: Oh Alice, Alice, I wonder why you do not talk to you, probably because I do not

Like you!

Alice: But why? Mr. Rabbit I have never done anything to you!

WR: Why in the world would I want to talk to a little, blonde, stupid girl?

Alice: I am not stupid! I am a very smart young woman! Why won’t you just give me a

Chance and talk to me?

WR: I guess because I don’t want to. Now go along and leave me alone!

Alice: Ok, then I have a question for you, a very important one too.

WR: Ugh, fine go ahead and waste my time. What is it? But hurry it up, you’ve already

Made me late, very, very late.

Alice: UGH! How rude you are!

WR: Are you going to ask the question or what? Come on little girl, I’m late, remember?

Alice: How can you be so late when you have a beautiful golden pocket watch to remind

You of what time it is?

WR: What a fantastic question Alice, I’m probably late because I forgot to check the

Time!

Alice: Stop calling me a little girl! I am nine years old, more than halfway to becoming

An adult!

WR: I will call you whatever pleases me and I am much older and more wise than you so

Don’t you talk to me about being an adult!

Alice: Ok, fine. I guess I give up on us being friends. I just wanted you to trust me

Enough so you could eventually tell me the importance of the hole that I always

See you crawling in.

WR: What makes you think I want you to know about my hole? And what makes you

Think it is very important? I guess since it is my hole, that would make me

Important too!

Alice: Yes, yes you are important. That is why I want to be your friend.

WR: Well I will consider being your friend, just give me some time to think. I better run,

I am very, very, VERY late now! Goodbye!

End Of All Ends


10/6 is the price of the hat. The mouse sleeps all the time and is mistreated by the hatter and the haire. The cook brought the pepper to court because that is what the tarts are mostly made of. The Jury were writing there names so they wouldnt forget them because they were getting so much information. The reason Alice was growing was because her dream may be ending. It is important that Alice knows nothing and unimportant that she is there. The kings pun sarcatically mentions that the aurrea never throws a fit. Rule 42 says that "All persons more than a mile high must leave the court." We do not like the book because it is really hard to understand, but we do like it because some the charecters are really cool.

Crazy Court

The 10/6 written on the Hatter's hat is the price of the hat, the 10 meaning 10 shillings, and the 6 meaning 6 pence. The Dormouse plays an important role in the courtroom because he denied nothing while being fast asleep. The Duchess does not bring the pepper, her cook does, but pepper was the main ingredient for tarts. The "twelve" think they will forget their names and write them on their slates because they are stupid. Alice begins to grow over a mile high in the courtroom because the mushrooms that she consumed began to wear off. The White Rabbit and the King begin to argue about what is important and unimportant. The King believes that Alice is important in the court because she is a witness, but the White Rabbit thinks she plays an unimportant role because she has nothing to say. In the pun that the King uses, he sarcastically mentions that the Queen never throws a fit. Rule 42 says that "All persons more than a mile high must leave the court."
Reading Alice's Adventures in Wonderland was somewhat interesting. It was crazily creative, but since it did not make much sense I began to lose focus.

The Trial


The 10/6 on the hatters hat is a price tag. The doormouse in Alices Adventures in Wonderland is not that important, hes basically sleeping all the time. Hes kind of gives some more random ideas to the story. The cook brings pepper to the court because thats what the tarts are mostly made of. The jury was having so much information told to them that they were afraid they would forget their names. Alice begins to grow larger in the courtroom because her mushrooms are wearing off and her dream is coming to an end. The king and the rabbitt argue becasue they are talking about two diffrent things of which they both think are important. The pun the king uses is that the queen never throws a fit when really thats all she ever does. Rule 42 is that on persons can be over a mile high and be on the court room. Cody thought the book was gay as hell. :) Grace enjoyed the word and picture play of it. Also the fantasy of it all. Good one. Brittnany also enjoyed the book. Overall it was a crazy weird book.

Brittany, Grace Cody, Rosie, Nikki

The 10/6 on the Hatters hat stands for the price of the hat. The price is ten shillings and six pence. The Dormouse is important because he tells Alice to move over because she is growing. The Duchess doesn't bring pepper to the court because the cook did and she brought it to the court because thats what the tarts are made of. The twelve jurors think that they will forget their names because they think its going to take that long that they will forget their names. Alice begins to grow in the courtroom because because she starts to awake. The White Rabbit and the King argue about what Alice knows about the tarts because she is a witness but yet she knows nothing. The pun the King uses he is pretty much saying that his wife is fat because he said that the words don't fit her and to us thats making fun of her weight. The rule 42 means all persons more than a mile high must leave the courtroom which is meant toward Alice because she has grown alot since the trial has begun. Our reading experience toward this book was not that great. We liked alot about the book such as the creativity of the author and how he uses unique characters. But we didn't like alot about the book as well such as how in most of the book it seems to make no since and the odd characters kind of throw you off.
