Week 12 Reading Notes: Alice in Wonderland, Part B
Notes below, as usual!
1: A Mad Tea Party
-Alice arrives at the tea party; she argues with the hare and the mad hatter for a while; they argue about semantics and Alice questions the mad hatter about his watch
2: A Mad Tea Party (cont.)
-Alice and the mad hatter talk about time (who is apparently a he and not an it); hatter tells Alice that he made time angry, so now time doesn't work the way it should around him, so it's always tea time; the dormouse starts to tell a story
3: A Mad Tea Party (end)
-Alice keeps interrupting the dormouse's story (bc she's kind of a jerk); the hatter argues with her for interrupting, and Alice gets offended and walks off; she finds a tree with a door in it and decides to go in; turns out it's the tree she came out of originally; she goes back in and finds herself in another garden
4: The Queen's Croquet Ground
-Alice enters the new garden and comes across human cards painting white roses on a rose bush red; the queen of hearts comes to the garden with her entourage (lots of different human cards); the queen is very temperamental and demands to behead everyone that makes her upset; the queen demands that Alice play croquet with her
5: The Queen's Croquet Ground (cont.)
-Alice talks to the white rabbit, who is part of the queen's entourage, and learns that the duchess was set to be executed; they start to play croquet (with hedgehogs as the balls and flamingoes as the mallets); the game is chaos; Alice is looking for a way to escape and runs into the cheshire cat
6: The Queen's Croquet Ground (end)
-Alice and the cheshire cat talk for a while; Alice introduces the cat to the king of hearts; the queen demands that the cat be beheaded, so the king goes to get the executioner; when they call come back, the cat has disappeared
7: Who Stole the Tarts?
-Alice and the royal entourage are in the throne room with the king and queen of hearts; they are holding a trial for the knave of hearts, who is accused of stealing tarts from the queen; the first witness, the mad hatter, is called to speak
8: Who Stole the Tarts? (cont.)
-while the trial is going on, Alice feels herself start growing larger again; the mad hatter has a hard time giving his witness statement, so the king lets him go finish his tea instead and calls the next witness, the duchess's cook; the cook doesn't give much of a statement, so the king moves on to the next witness, Alice
9: Alice's Evidence
-Alice stands up to give her testimony, but she's grown so large she knocks over the whole jury; she puts them back in their places; Alice tells them she doesn't know anything about the knave stealing the tarts; the king tells her that no one taller than a mile high is allowed in the court room and demands that she leave; she doesn't, and the jury starts "deliberating"; the white rabbit finds a piece of paper on the floor with verses written on it; the rabbit claims that it's the knaves (even though it isn't his handwriting and the knave denies that its his); the knave says they can't prove he wrote it bc he didn't sign his name at the end; the king says the knave must be up to some mischief if he didn't sign his name at the end of his paper
10: Alice's Evidence (cont.)
-the white rabbit starts to read the verses on the paper; the verses make absolutely no sense; the king and queen try to make sense of the verses but it doesn't work very well; the queen and Alice get into a argument, which ends with the queen (a pack of cards) throwing herself at Alice; Alice jerks awake and finds herself laying on her sister's lap back in the normal world
