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.

Mock Turtle

In chapter nine the Mock Turtle tells a story and Alice asks what a Mock Turtle is and the queen said that its what mock turtle soup is made of. But in reality Mock Turtle soup is made of cow. More in depth its cow meat that isn't used as often such as non muscular cow meat to imitate turtle meat.

There is so much singing in this book because its a child's book and kids take to music so there is alot of singing in the book.
The lobster's role in the quadrille is that you dance with the lobsters and then throw them up in the air.
The Mock Turtle sings about soup because the gryphon asks him to.
Alice doesn't wanna be close to the Duchess because the Duchess keeps digging her chin into Alice's shoulder and the Duchess has a sharp chin.
The rhyme scheme on pages 67 and 68 are AABBBB, CCBBBB, DDBBBB.
The lobster Quadrille you start by lining up on the shore in two rows and each person has a lobster to dance with them and they advance into the sea two counts then out two counts then throw the lobster out to sea they they swim after it then they start the dance all over again.

Turtle and Lobster

Mock turtle soup is made of parts of a calf that is usually discarded. The parts are: the head, tail, hooves, and non-muscular meat. The non- muscular meat is used to imitate turtle meat. The turtle in the pictures on pages 64 and 67 have a head, hooves, and a tail of a calf, which is what is in the soup, but has a body of a turtle. Alice and the Gryphon notice that the turtle is crying so they act concerned for him.

In this story, there is a lot of singing because it was wrote as a children's book. In the Lobster Quadrille, the lobsters were thrown into the air and out into the sea. The Mock Turtle sings about soup because Alice wants him to sing her another song, then the Gryphon told him to sing about Mock Turtle Soup. Alice does not want to be close to the duchess because the duchess is ugly, mean, she puts her chin on Alice's shoulder, and the Queen does not like the duchess.

The rhyme scheme for the song is:

AABBBB
CCBBBB
DDBBBB

To perform the Lobster Quadrille, you must dance, sing, put tails in your mouth, and throw lobsters out into the sea.

Mock Turtle soup...

The pun of the mock turtle is that it is half turtle and half calf. Mock turtle soup was a dish made in the Victorian period, which ties into the story thought the queen. The complicated pun then is both word and picture play. Mock turtle soup was made from parts of a calf that were generally discarded such as the head, hooves, tails, ect. The soup was actually imitation turtle meat, aka mock. The mock turtle in the story was just that half turtle, half calf. There is alot of singing in this book because it is a children's book. Carroll first wrote and read this book to children. The Lobsters in the quadrille served as dance partners to other animals, and were thrown out to sea. The Mock turtle sings about soup because Alice wanted to hear a song about him, and the Gryphon's wanted to hear him sing it too. Alice didn't want to be close to the duchess because she was ugly and creepy and would always rest her chin on alices shoulder. This scared alice. AABBBB

The Cat and The Hat!!!

Twinkle,,twinkle, little cat! How I wonder where you're at! Up above the tree so high, How you laugh when I walk by. Twinkle, twinkle, little cat! How I wonder where your at?
The hatter doesn't care what time it is because to him its always tea time which is why he only needs to know the day. He murdered time when he kept singing the same verse, she yelled out how he was wasting her time. Due to him wasting her time, the Queen ordered him to be beheaded. The Hatter only wears a watch that has the days of the week, because everyday for him is tea time, the days change though. The knave is the second in command. The Queen couldn't recognize the gardeners because they were face down. While the gardeners try to give an explanation, the queen ordered for them to be killed but they ran away. In their game of croquet the cards are arches, flamingos are mallets, and hedgehogs are used as balls.The cat watches over Alice to make sure she makes it through the day. The card in the picture is the Jack of Diamonds.

The Mad Tea Party.....

In this tea party that Alice had with the dormouse the Mad hatter and the March Hare. The dormouse was sitting between Alice and the mad hatter fast asleep. The March hare seemed very hateful in the questions that he was asking Alice maybe even a little. The Mad Hatter was a asking questions that really didn't have an answers. The hatter murders time by singing the same verse of twinkle twinkle little star over and over again. The queen wanted the hatter's head to be taken off because the hatter was taking up her time with the song that he had messed up.

A knave is a boy or male servant in the story the knave is to be loyal to the queen but is not loyal when he steals some tarts. The queen could not recognize the gardeners because they were all face down on the ground. The cat speaks for Alice because the the Cheshire cat is a very important role because he is kinda the watch "CAT" in the so called Kingdom. Two does not get to give an explantion because the Queen came and messed him up and didn't let him finish. In the game croquet the mallets are live flamingos and the balls are live hedgehogs. The playing cards make the wickets or hoops. The Hatter wears the watch that only shows what day it is because they don't have time in the tea party the show up at the same time everyday.
