Alice in Wonderland.

Alice is constantly encountering weird, interesting talking creatures and bottles with a certain kind of substance, making her either grow larger or shrink. In chapter five, Alice runs into a caterpillar sitting on a mushroom, smoking a hookah pipe. As they talk Alice becomes fraustrated with the comments Caterpillar has and walks away. But soon, she comes back to listen to what the Caterpillar is trying to say to her. None of it makes sense. Everything in Wonderland is confusing. In a way, Wonderland manipulates the thoughts of whoever visits. For example, the main character Alice. As the story progesses it is seen that she is beginning to forget who she really is and what she is. When Alice eats a mushroom her neck grows too long and a bird flys over saying she is a serpant. For a moment, Alice thinks about this and declares she is a little girl, but with uncertainy.
So far, everything about this book is confusing, but entertaining and it is uncertain what will happen next.

  1. How is Alice manipulated by the world she is in? She seems to be confused but not manipulated

  2. She's seems to be passive and goes along with whatever is happening in Wonderland. For example, she goes to a caterpillar and a cat for guidance. She accepts whatever they say in fear of offendeding them.
