Reading Notes: Alice in Wonderland, Part B

Who Stole the Tarts: This story is part of the Alice in Wonderland unit. Story source: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll (1865).

- Alice is at the Court of Justice: King & Queen of Heart are at the head of the court
- Judge = King; has a great wig
- Alice is hungry, eyeing the plate of tarts
- 12 jurors made up of a variety of creatures
- various pieces of conversations all around
- All this time the Queen had never left off staring at the Hatter, and, just as the Dormouse crossed the court, she said to one of the officers of the court, 'Bring me the list of the singers in the last concert!' on which the wretched Hatter trembled so that he shook both his shoes off.'Give your evidence,' the King repeated angrily, 'or I'll have you executed, whether you're nervous or not.'- The list of witnesses is worked through
- Alice watched the White Rabbit as he fumbled over the list, feeling very curious to see what the next witness would be like, ' — for they haven't got much evidence YET,' she said to herself. Imagine her surprise when the White Rabbit read out, at the top of his shrill little voice, the name 'Alice!'
