In Chapters 5 and 6, Alice continues her journey through Wonderland. Along the way, she meets new creatures such as, the Caterpillar, the Cat, and others. The continuous change in setting helps me understand the progression of the story. In these chapters, Alice had been to several houses, and the woods, and the many encounters with other creatures.
Also, her interaction with the other animals, continues to be the same throughout the story. She continues to talk with animals like it is natural and normal. This helps my understanding of the story because it reveals that Alice is not the usual person if she is acting like everything in Wonderland is natural. I understand that Alice is a stange person, and throughout chapters 5 and 6, the one thing she continues to worry about the most is what size she is. So concerned, that she enters the White Rabbits house and just drinks a little bottle that was on the table, just to see if her size would change.
This is my new and improved blog.
ReplyDeleteIn the beginning of chapter five of Alice in Wonderland, Alice meets the Caterpillar. He asks her who she is, and for some reason Alice doesnt know the answer to the question. She continues to tell him that she unsure of who she is because of changing sizes. This point in the book helps me understand the story becuase it shows that at this point in Alice's life, she doesn't know who she is or who she wants to be. All she knows is who she was. But because things are changing, she does not know where she is at in her life. She is stuck in the middle of childhood and adulthood.
Then the Caterpillar keeps asking her why she is confused and afraid. Because he knows that at some point in his life that he is going ot change and there is nothing he can do about because its just a part of nature. He tries to tell Alice that there is nothin got be afraid of because there is nothing she can do to change the fact that she is going to grow up.

ReplyDeleteI saw the same thing there. The caterpillar is not focused on what is going to happen but is focused on what is happening. He is trying to teach her to keep calm and I guess sort of teaching her how to act like an adult. Maybe he resembles someone in her life that teaches her to stay out of the clouds, focus and act more sophisticated.
Idk... :)
