Alice in Wonderland

Alice's interactions with the characters introduced in Chapters 5 and 6 seem different then those of previous chapters. The caterpillar and the Cheshire cat were characters that Alice was able to get information off of, however little it may have been. Alice was questioned by both as she asked her own questions, and since Alice is already confused she can do little to respond intelligently. By these secondary characters having dialogue with Alice, the main character, in such a way can show the reader how little control Alice has over this "dream."

Literary devices present so far are personification primarily. Many cases exist where animals take on the roles of humans. Another literary device exists in Alice's conversation with the caterpillar. Alice exclaimed that it would be weird for the caterpillar once it turns intro a chrysalis and then to a butterfly. This statement by Alice could symbolize how she feels out of place, not just in Wonderland but a point in her life where things change so much.

Finally, just a small note, I noticed how the text in parenthesis feel almost like the author's commentary on the events going on in the book. Lewis Carroll, it seems, is providing the reader with knowledge that the reader can infer but has no way of finding out.

Anyways, the story is imaginative and can easily grab someone's attention.
