This girl has problems. She goes down a rabbit hole that somehow is big enough for her, and then she falls for what seems to be an hour. And none of that bothers her, she's just thinking about, oh what would it be like to fall through the earth, oh I'll be so brave when I get home, ohhhh. I mean really, isn't it kind of obvious that something is wrong (WHICH SHE NEVER REALLY NOTICES) if you're in freefall. And, once she falls, she's just off to explore and tries to go through a door, but she's too big, she doesn't have a key, blah blah blah, you know. She cries a huge puddle and then shrinks into it. This is where her brain shuts off or something, because she's talking to animals without a care in the world.
More proof she's not bright- she talks to every animal about her cat eating their species. Not the best thing to do, talking to your friends about their predators.
Then she completely defies the laws of physics by jumping out of the puddle, and the hall disappears for no good reason to some other magical place and bam- she sees mister 'oh I'm late,' the rabbit and goes off doing whatever he says for no good reason. And she puts up with all this. She even goes and talks to mad people (but then she's kind of mad herself), which is normally not what parents advise their kids to do. Sigh.
Still, she has spunk- she will do what she can to understand and survive, even if it means contradicting the Queen and arguing with the criminally insane (or something like that). So she's dumb, but with reasons, and bold, but willing to do whatever these creatures (and I use this word because even those who are animals have really very few animal traits) say. My favorite crazy people so far are the Dormouse, who tells some story about treacle; the Caterpillar, who's blue and filled with nonsense, and griffon and the Mock Turtle, who should have their own TV show.
Well, I have about 10 pages left, so I'll go finish and see if I can acquire Through the Looking Glass, the sequel, tomarrow.
Ciao,
Carli

Yeah! She's completely brainless, even in the movies! It's so funny to me how she wants to be polite but keeps accidentally saying stuff like about the cat eating them. What's treacle, by the way?
ReplyDeleteyeah shes insane
ReplyDeletei'm thinking that she needs a nice comfterable padded room and oh so fashionable straight jacket.
She sounds really dumb.....Is treacle like that jely stuff with sugar????
ReplyDeleteAwwww I think Alice sounds fun. I would love to be her friend. I think her mind is like a five year old's. She is too distracted and curious to question why things shouldn't happen they way they do in the book.
