chapter 2


Chapter 2
This chapter of Alice in the wonderland is related to a person that is over dramatic and cry a lots and how she was being weird and talking about how her feet is disappearing so I think it could also relate to someone that has went to the dentist and was given laughing gas.

I think the second chapter of Alice in wonderland is related to a person taking drugs. A drug called “ The Devil's breath” in particular . This drug is one of if not the most dangerous drug in the world. It makes the user unconscious but still awake. This makes the person very subjective to persuasion and lose their common sense. The user will do anything he/she is told to do. I relate this to the second chapter of the story because she had a drink of the potion and ate the cake all because she was told to. Her actions didn't help. She was doing horrible multiplication even though she was smart and she also tried to speak french to a mouse.



For chapter 2 of “Alice in Wonderland” we related Alice to a person taking a drug called “the Devil’s Breath” or using laughing gas. I say this because Alice in the second chapter was like a “zombie” she did everything she was told to do without saying “no”. We think it relates to the drug because in the second chapter she was like a person who didn't think for themselves. She also saw things such as a talking rabbit which in our world is not possible. Just like the drug which makes you see things and lose free will which are the things that Alice exhibited.  It also reminds us of laughing gas because when she ate the food she had gotten bigger, and she was talking about how her feet was getting smaller. She was crying about how she wouldn't be able to put her shoes on by herself, and how she would need help to put them on. When you get laughing gas you usually see things that are not really there or you see double and you get upset because you can’t see thing clearly, and you cry over little things that you wouldn't normally cry over.

chapter 1


It connects to chapter because she was being curious when she was following the bunny in a rabbit hole and how kids are really curious about thing and it talks about the power that curiosity can be a huge toll on kids.  

 In the first chapter of Alice in Wonderland she is peer pressured into drinking a potion and eating cookies/cake. She was reluctant at first but the talking doorknob was telling her to drink/eat the things he put in front of her. This happens until Alice breaks down and cries and almost drowns the doorknob. This relates to today because kids and teens even adults can all be peer pressured into doing something they don't want to do. An example would be peer pressuring teens or adults into drinking, doing drugs, or sex.

In the first chapter of Alice in Wonderland, Alice experiences two main feelings: Curiosity and peer pressure. An example of both of these feelings is when Alice was told to drink the potion that made her smaller which is peer pressure. A real world example of peer pressure is when teen try to make each other drink, do drugs, or have sex. An example of curiosity in the book and movie is when Alice is confused on if she should or should not drink the potion that made her smaller. A real word example of curiosity is if a kid tries something spicy for the first time, the kid naturally wants to try it because of everybody else is doing it but it is spicy and the kid has to find it out for themselves whether they like it or not.
 She was not supposed to wonder and she was not allowed to be by herself without an escort. Because she was a kid and kids today are not allowed to be at certain places by themselves. She said “she wasn't invited to the rabbit hole” and back then you have to be invited to go somewhere. Kids can't just go to a party without an invite but if it's a party that anyone can come to then it's a different.  As kids most of them have mysterious mind that will make them curious and that is what was wrong with Alice and how she knew she wasn’t allowed to go without someone but she was curious. That is what lead her to not follow the rules and run off by herself.
There aren't many archetypes in chapter one of Alice in Wonderland. The ones that I have found are as followed: Alice is in a blue and white dress, she is a little girl, the rabbit is white, the rabbit hole is dark/black, and there is a three legged table. Alice who is a little girl is in a blue and white dress which means she is innocent and peaceful. The same thing goes for the white rabbit. The bottom of the rabbit hole is dark/black which means that there is going to be something bad happening at the bottom of this well maybe even a death. Lastly there is a three legged table which stands for a trinity. A trinity means strength.
  • Wasn't allowed to go by herself
  • She said that she hasn't been invited
  • And she really shouldn't be doing this
  • Was suppose to where restricted gear
  • Wasn’t allowed to walk up and talk to someone had to be introduced
  • Unmarried ladies need a escort must make a jester
  • No loud talking

Archetypes
  1. Alice blue/white dress
This means that she is peaceful and innocent
  1. Alice is a little girl
Being a little girl furthermore states that she is innocent
  1. White rabbit
Being a rabbit itself doesn't mean anything but being a white rabbit means the same as the dress. He is innocent
  1. Bottom of the rabbit hole is black
Black means death or something bad is about to happen
  1. Three legged table
The table itself means nothing but the fact that its three legged means that it represents strength or power because three is more powerful than one
