Oooh Alice.

Chapter five and six were really interesting to me. This book isnt boring at all! I love how it's the caterpillar smoking with a hookah, the duchess with a crazy house, and a Cheshire cat that asks meaningful questions to Alice. The caterpillar reminded me of a hippie guru sort of person because he kept asking Alice who she was. I thought that was pretty funny but really meaningful. Now I like how the Duchess felt about the world; she said that the world would go round faster if everyone just minded their own business. She also brought up that Alice isn't very smart because it's so true! At last, what the Cheshire cat said was pretty deep. He was basically saying that there's no point of going somewhere if you dont go. These chapters help me understand that Alice is just so lost in her own head that she forgets about who she is. She's too focused on the garden.

A literary device that also helps me out is personification because if the animals didnt talk this story would make less sense.

The caterpillar and cheshire cat help me understand this story because im finally understanding whats the storys point. This story is about alice finding herself again because she obviously doesnt have a clue anymore.

    question: what was the point of going to the duchess' house? like i get it but the whole scene there was insane.
