Reading Notes: Alice in wonderland Part A

Rabbit from Alice in Wonderland
By: John Tenniel found on Wiki

Alice had a sister who would site with he on the bank. Alice was very bored and hated to read books without pictures or conversations. One day a rabbit ran past her. The rabbit was saying it was late to something and had a watch in its pocket. This baffled Alice so she followed. Alice followed the rabbit down a rabbit hole. She fell down a huge well. She kept falling for a long time, wondering what was going to happen to her. She began to worry that her cat would be neglected if she wasn’t home. She landed at the bottom unharmed and continued to follow the rabbit. She found a key that unlocked a tiny door. She could not fit through the door. She then found a tiny bottle that said drink me. She was skeptical of the bottle but ultimately drank it. The bottle made her tiny and she was able to fit through the door now. The problem was that she was too tiny to reach the key on the table now. She eventually made it into the garden. She then found a caterpillar. They argued about who should explain who each other is first. The caterpillar began to give Alice advice. The caterpillar told Alice that one side of the mushroom would make her bigger and the other side would make her smaller. She ate the mushroom out of her right hand which began to shrink her. She then quickly began eating the mushroom out of her left hand. She began to grow again but had no shoulders. A pigeon attacked her thinking she was a serpent. She tried to explain she was a girl not a serpent but the pigeon didn’t believe her. She continued eating the mushroom until she was back to normal height.
