Alice In Wonderland: Chp 5 & 6

In chapter five, Alice meets wise, hookah smoking caterpillar. He continuously asks Alice who she is, and she doesn't have an exact answer for him. She is very hesitant to answer, and when she finally does, she didn't even have an idea who she was. The caterpillar told her that the mushroom would get her back to whatever size it was that she desired, so she took two pieces and finally got back to her original height. She comes to a house and is, yet again, not happy with her height so she shrinks back down to nine inches.

In chapter six, Alice becomes acquainted with the fairly rude, odd Duchess and the grinning Cheshire-Cat. Alice found herself caring for a baby, which I found a little weird because she herself was certainly not capable of taking care of such a thing because she didn't even know who she was herself. The Cheshire-Cat points Alice in the direction of two mad citizens of this odd world, a Hatter and March Hare. Alice ends up going to the Hare's house and changes her height yet again. She is still not happy with herself.
