Alice in Wonderland ch 5 + 6.

In chapter 5 and 6 Alice still continues her adventure through the forest meeting the Caterpillar and Cheshire the cat. The Caterpillar gives Alice something to really think about. He asks her who she is, but she can't explain who she is. It makes her think who she is or why she's even in "Wonderland." In these 2 chapters, there is a repetition of Alice eating something and dealing with her height. Alice is 3 inches tall and eats the mushroom to grow back to regular size. Then eats again to reduce to 9inches tall. The story moves fast and quick, one second Alice is here, the next she's over there. In chapter 6, she finds a house. Alice seems to take all the characters in the book as if they are natural. Such as the dressed up frog, the talking rabbit, etc. From the house, she meets the cat. Cheshire, who seems to have a seemingly evil grin on his face. Alice wonders out loud about why would a cat have to hold a big grin. For most, the story is scattered and all over the place. Alice to me, seems to be in a dream, even though things relate back to the real world. The story isn't predictable which is a good thing cause it keeps you wondering whats going to happen next. I'm ready to read more.
