chapter 8

James Butcher 

Chapter eight of alice in wonderland is about alice playing a game of croquet like she has ever played before. The games calls for the sticks to be live flamingos and the balls to be live hedgehogs. The queen has a certain “knack” for getting her way. The hoops for the  ball to go through are live cards. So whenever the ball or hedgehog get close they move so it goes under them. The cards do the exact opposite for Alice's turn. They move out the way and make it the main priority to move out of the way or the queen will demand that his head get cut off. After Alice's turn, the queen gets ready to go when the Cheshire cat appears and has a conversation with alice. This gets the queen mad and whenever alice tries to show the cat he disappears. The Cheshire cat then proceeds to sabotage the game which makes the queen fall and blames it on alice.

I relate the game of croquet in chapter 8 to that of golf or croquet in 2016. I say this because in the story the game was portrayed as weird. In the real world, people think that golf and croquet are weird. Not everybody thinks the same thing, some people might actually like golf or croquet. This is also portrayed in the story because the queen was very fond of the game.

chapter 7

Summary

At the beginning of chapter 7 Alice was walking to find the mad hatter and ended up at a tea party. Wasn't really invited but she sat down at a the look at her and said the table was large enough but for some reason they said “no room, no room, no room.” “but there is plenty of room” said alice. The table could fit 10 people and it was three of them in a corner sitting down. After a while, they let her join and they started making up riddles and they didn't even know the answer to them their self. The mad hatter brought out a watch that only tells that day of the month. Not like a regular watch that tells the time alice never saw one before. Alice said “I think you could do something better with your time then waste it on riddles that have no answers.” the hatter and alice wanted the dormouse to tell a story so he told a story about the three girls that lived in a well.

Rikira Dukes

I relate this to birthday parties when they have a prince's part and they have tea cups and thing that you will not normally have at tea parties.

In victorian time, they would have tea parties almost every day the same time and they would invite different people over to come have tea with them.

It relates because they had a tea party that she had wasn't really invited to the party and how she sat down without asking to join the party.

Chapter 6

Chapter 6 
summary

At the beginning of chapter 6 she had founded a house where the duchess, a chef, and the cheshire cat lived and they were watching a child. The duchess and the chef in the room were both very negligent of the child. The Duchess was scolding the baby every time he would sneeze despite the fact that the chef was cooking a soup with so much pepper that it was in the air. The chef would throw anything in arms reach in the baby’s direction because he only like undeveloped little girls. The thing he would throw would hit the duchess and barely miss the baby. The Duchess gives the baby over to alice who then knots the baby in a ball holding it by the ear. The baby slowly turns into a pig and runs away. While contemplating on what just happened the cheshire cat appears in front of alice on a tree and ask question about the baby then gives her directions to either the mad hatter's or the march hare’s house. Alice chooses to go in the direction of the Hatter's house.

James Butcher

I think the part of the story in which alice want into the house and the baby was being abused related to the victorian era and current times. I say this because the baby being cared for by the duchess was not something that happened in the victorian era. The story relates to 2016 because kids everywhere can get abused. In the story the baby was beaten every time he sneezed. The chef himself also related to current times because he only liked undeveloped little girls. This relates to current times because there are people who are crazy and will do crazy things to kids.

Rikira Dukes

This reminds me of child abuse and how they had to make a law to stop it to a certain extent. It relates to the story because she would keep shaking the baby and hitting it when it sneezed. It also is related to the victorian era because the dutches don't take care of the baby they hire a nanny of some sort.  When alice came in the house they gave her the kid because the dutches have to go somewhere with the other’s. This is the relation to both 2016 and the victorian era.

chapter 5

Chapter 5 

1. Keep your temper

Alice was losing her temper because of the questions the caterpillar was asking.

2. Three inches is a very good height indeed (think before you speak)

Alice said something that insulted the caterpillar.

3. Know yourself

Alice was ‘confused’ when the caterpillar asked her who and what she is.

4. The mushroom one side makes you bigger and one side makes you smaller

The caterpillar gives alice advice on what to do to get to her normal size.

5. Watch your surroundings

Alice didn't know where she was or what was around her.

Chapter 5 of Alice in wonderland was about alice finally meeting the caterpillar. The caterpillar gave advice to Alice that lead to her being confused for a serpent trying to eat a pigeon's eggs. While talking to the caterpillar Alice accidentally insulted him by saying that three inches is a wretched height to be. This led to the caterpillar getting mad and leaving Alice but not before telling her that the mushroom she climbed up on to meet the caterpillar had the ability to make her smaller or smaller by eating one of the sides of it. But he didn't tell her what side did what. This led to alice growing very tall and scaring a pigeon into thinking she was a serpent. A serpent is a snake like creature that eats bird eggs. The pigeon then proceeded to attack Alice until Alice told her she wasn't a serpent.

chapter 4

chapter 4 

My mom is very independent because she doesn't ask other people for help unless its her last option. She’s a go getter, and she works for what she wants. Just like my grandma she works and doesn't let anyone bring her down she knows how to do thing by herself, she doesn't really depend on anyone but herself. They both are independent and doesn't like to ask for help .

My aunt is an independent woman because she is a ‘know-it-all’. She doesn't care what others think about her and she lives by her own rules. She doesn't need anybody to tell her what is right or wrong. She just does whatever she wants whenever she wants. This relates to the book because both my aunt and Alice/rabbit are independent.

At the beginning of chapter 4 the white rabbit was worried for his life because he dropped the gloves and the fan. While pacing back and forth the white rabbit saw Alice and misconfused her for another person called ‘Mary-Ann’. He asked her what she was doing down there implying that there was someone else there. Alice went along with the fact that she was called Mary-Ann and did what the white rabbit asked her to do. The white rabbit told Alice to go to his house and get a pair of white gloves and a fan so he doesn't get executed by the queen which we never saw or heard of before. While at the white rabbits’ house Alice drinks a bottle that makes her bigger.  After drinking the contents of the bottle alice grows into a giant again. Her foot becomes logged into the chimney and her arm is in the window. The people or animals of wonderland gathered around the rabbit's house and started throwing rocks at Alice's face. The rocks soon become cakes and she eats one which in turn makes her smaller. This gives her a chance to flee the house. When she tries to leave the house there is an angry mob of animals ready to ambush her. This makes her run into the woods and think about how she will become her normal size again. While walking through the woods she hears a loud bark and looks up to see a giant dog. She throws the dog a stick and makes it go away. Still thinking about how she will get bigger she finds and climbs a giant mushroom. She looks over and sees a blue hookah smoking caterpiller.

The characters in chapter 4 were all related to the different types of sentences. An example of a simple sentence was alice and the rabbit because they both were know-it-alls and alone. Alice and the rabbit can also be compared to a compound sentence because they both fell down the rabbit hole. Alice can be related to all of the different types of sentences, she can be related to a complex sentence because she needs someone to guide her but she is alone in wonderland. This can also relate to the color grey which means confused which alice was. Lastly, a compound-complex sentence can be related to both alice and the white rabbit because Alice depended on the rabbit for directions and the rabbit didn't really depend on her at all other than for the gloves and the fan.

chapter 3

Chapter 3

Chapter three of alice in the wonderland relates to satire because it had some dramatic irony because they were running around in circles and being dramatic about who will win the caucus race. In this year the caucus race is pointless because you have to give a speech and then they vote instead of them having time to decide who they like to vote on and not making a rush decision because in the future they might not want to vote for that person any more and they may want to change their vote even though it really has no effect .

The third chapter of Alice in Wonderland is related to politics because of the caucus race. In the book/movie the caucus race is a literal race. The whole point of the “race” in the book/movie was to get the dryest the fastest, but when everyone would be dry a huge wave of tears would come and get them wet again. This is to symbolize how pointless or useless the caucus race is.

To understand what the point of chapter three you have to know what a caucus race is. A caucus is a gathering of both political parties to decide who will be their presidential candidate.Chapter three reminds us of the caucus race because just like in the book it is pointless in the real world. We say this because in the book the Caucus race was an actual race. The whole point of it was to get the dryest the fastest, but when all the participants got dry a giant wave of tears came through and got them wet again. In the real world the caucus race is also pointless because people are persuaded to vote for things yet their vote has no effect at all.
