Reading Notes: Alice in Wonderland, Part A



Wonderland: Down the Rabbit-Hole. This story is part of the Alice in Wonderland unit. Story source: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll (1865).

- Alice is sitting at the bank with her sister who is reading a book without any pictures, getting bored
- She sees a rabbit, who pulled out a pocket watch, made Alice interested and she followed him
- Alice fell down the rabbit hole without realizing where she was following the rabbit to 
- The fall was long and she found a jar of Orange Marmalade
- "There were doors all round the hall, but they were all locked, and when Alice had been all the way down one side and up the other, trying every door, she walked sadly down the middle, wondering how she was ever to get out again."
- "It was all very well to say 'Drink me,' but the wise little Alice was not going to do THAT in a hurry. 'No, I'll look first,' she said, 'and see whether it's marked "poison" or not'; for she had read several nice little histories about children who had got burnt and eaten up by wild beasts and other unpleasant things, all because they WOULD not remember the simple rules their friends had taught them"
- first a bottle that says "drink me" 
- next a cake that says "eat me"
