Para: 1-“Once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, "and what is the use of a book," thought Alice, "without pictures or conversations?'” * Page: 4
Para: 3-“For, you see, Alice had learnt several things of this sort in her lessons in the school-room, and though this was not a very good opportunity for showing off her knowledge, as there was no one to listen to her, still it was good practice to say it over.”

* Page: 6
Para: 3-“Alice was not going to do that in a hurry.”No, I'll look first," she said, "and see whether it's marked 'poison' or not"; for she had read several nice little stories about children who had got burnt, and eaten up by wild beasts, and other unpleasant things, all because they would not remember the simple rules their friends had taught them.” * Page: 7
Para: 2-"Come, there's no use in crying like that!" said Alice to herself rather sharply. "I advise you to leave off this minute!" She generally gave herself very good advice (though she very seldom followed it), and sometimes she scolded herself so severely as to bring tears into her eyes.”

Pg.3: When I was a little girl, I used think books with out pictures were boring. Now that I’m older books with pictures bore me and books without pictures make me excited because I can use my imagration.

Pg. 4: When I learn a lot of new material in school, I like to show off. It’s nice sometimes to showoff about new things I learned from school because it gives me more self-confidence.

Pg. 6:I follow all the rules set by my family because they know best. I listen to their advice about not walking by myself or look both ways before you cross the street and see I’m okay. Those aren’t rules but common sense.

Pg.7: When I start to cry it’s hard to stop myself. I usually have some advice that I tell to try myself but sometimes I don’t even follow it. I always nagged myself it about things like that.

Para: 5-“Alice took up the fan and gloves, and, as the hall was very hot, she kept fanning herself all the time she went on talking: `Dear, dear! How queer everything is to-day! And yesterday things went on just as usual. I wonder if I've been changed in the night? Let me think: was I the same when I got up this morning? I almost think I can remember feeling a little different. But if I'm not the same, the next question is, who in the world am I?” * Page: 16
Para: 3- “I almost wish I hadn't gone down that rabbit-hole--and yet--and yet--it's rather curious, you know, this sort of life! I do wonder what CAN have happened to me! When I used to read fairy-tales, I fancied that kind of thing never happened, and now here I am in the middle of one!” * Page: 35
Para: 3-“I'm afraid I can't put it more clearly,' Alice replied very politely, `for I can't understand it myself to begin with; and being so many different sizes in a day is very confusing.” * Page: 37
Para: 5-If everybody minded their own business,' the Duchess said in a hoarse growl, `the world would go round a deal faster than it does.' * Page: 49
Para: 3-“Maybe it's always pepper that makes people hot-tempered,' she went on, very much pleased at having found out a new kind of rule, `and vinegar that makes them sour--and chamomile that makes them bitter--and--and barley-sugar and such things that make children sweet-tempered. I only wish people knew that: then they wouldn't be so stingy about it, you know-.”

Pg. 10: A lot of people get confused like me, see when Alice enters Wonderland her world turned upside down. For example when I enter high school I was always confused with my classes and teachers but now I don’t question my standing in high school.

Pg. 16: I would be like Alice even through she shouldn’t have went down the rabbit-hole but was the curiosity that got her, and I would’ve done same. She read fairytales and suddenly now stuck in one which pretty neat.

Pg. 35: Yeah I, would be lost if I was Alice because of her height kept changing. I went through a big growth spurt were I was the shortest to the tallest in my family which is super funny considering I’m only 5’6.

Pg. 37: Yes that’s true because nosy people irritate me a lot. It would be actually logical if people weren’t getting on anyone else’s business the world would get a get deal faster metaphorically speaking.

Pg. 49: My mom always said I could be as sweet as sugar when I want something, then she said I could be bitter as vinegar when I’m in one my moods. I think what my mom said is probably true, I can’t denied it.

Para: 5-“Lastly, she pictured to herself how this same little sister of hers would, in the after-time, be herself a grown woman; and how she would keep, through all her riper years, the simple and loving heart of her childhood: and how she would gather about her other little children, and make their eyes bright and eager with many a strange tale, perhaps even with the dream of Wonderland of long ago: and how she would feel with all their simple sorrows, and find a pleasure in all their simple joys, remembering her own child-life, and the happy summer days.” * Page: 99
Para: 4-“Oh, don't go on like that!' cried the poor Queen, wringing her hands in despair. `Consider what a great girl you are. Consider what a long way you've come to-day. Consider what o'clock it is. Consider anything, only don't cry!” * Page: 104
Para: 2-“Alice felt even more indignant at this suggestion. `I mean,' she said, `that one can’t help growing older.” * Page: 113
Para: 6-“Alice could not help her lips curling up into a smile as she began: `Do you know, I always thought Unicorns were fabulous monsters, too? I never saw one alive before!' “ * Page: 115
Para 3- `So I wasn't dreaming, after all,' she said to herself, `unless -- unless we're all part of the same dream. Only I do hope it's my dream, and not the Red King's! I don't like belonging to another person's dream,' she went on in a rather complaining tone: I’ve a great mind to go and wake him, and see what happens!'

Pg. 76: Like Alice’s older sister, I wonder about my little sister if dreamed such things like I did when I was her age. Through out my childhood I was always consider a dreamer, always dreaming of different made lands and fairytale creatures. I grown of it a little bit but that’s what makes you a kid your dreams.

Pg. 99: I say that to people who are crying or in distress to always think of the positive instead of the negative. I don’t like when people cry it makes me feel bad.

Pg. 104: When I was a little girl like six or five, I was in the stage were I didn’t want to grow up. Soon or later at like eight or nine, I want to grow up because that was the reality of life.

Pg. 113: When I little unicorns was one of my favorite fairytale creature. Alice is very lucky girl to seen and speak to a unicorn even if she was only dreaming.

Pg. 115: I don’t like to hear about other people’s dreams because it loses the magical effect of the dream. So I do only like my dreams and never ever wake up someone from their dream because I got slapped once for doing that.

Para: 1- WELL, this is grand!' said Alice. `I never expected I should be a Queen so soon--and I'll tell you what it is, your Majesty,' she went on, in a severe tone (she was always rather fond of scolding herself), `It'll never do for you to be lolling about on the grass like that! Queens have to be dignified, you know!'

* Page: 226
Para: 1-“It is a very inconvenient habit of kittens (Alice had once made the remark) that, whatever you say to them, they always purr. `If they would only purr for "yes", and mew for "no” or any rule of that sort,' she had said, `so that one could keep up a conversation! But how can you talk with a person if they always say the same thing?” * Page: 228
Para: 4-“Now, Kitty, let's consider who it was that dreamed it all. This is a serious question, my dear, and you should not go on licking your paw like that--as if Dinah hadn't washed you this morning! You see, Kitty, it must have been either me or the Red King. He was part of my dream, of course--but then I was part of his dream, too! Was it the Red King, Kitty? You were his wife, my dear, so you ought to know--Oh, Kitty, do help to settle it! I'm sure your paw can wait!' But the provoking kitten only began on the other paw, and pretended it hadn't heard the question.”

Pg. 122: I did a lot of stuff when I was little but acting like was royalty was one of my favorites. Like playing dress-up with my friends and pretend to be a queen or princess.

Pg. 226: I used to have cats before and I would have weird little conversations with them. Maybe because they purr or meow after I would speak like they were listening to me. Alice and I have things in common like dreaming and talking to cats.

Pg. 228: After lots of dreams I always ask if it was real. As soon waking up from my dream it would feel real so but sometimes I could tell it was a dream because it too far-fetched.

Para: 2- “Tut, tut, child!' said the Duchess. `Everything's got a moral, if only you can find it.” * Page: 76
Para:6-“ So she sat on, with closed eyes, and half believed herself in Wonderland, though she knew she had but to open them again, and all would change to dull reality--the grass would be only rustling in the wind, and the pool rippling to the waving of the reeds--the rattling teacups would change to tinkling sheep- bells, and the Queen's shrill cries to the voice of the shepherd boy--and the sneeze of the baby, the shriek of the Gryphon, and all thy other queer noises, would change (she knew) to the confused clamor of the busy farm-yard--while the lowing of the cattle in the distance would take the place of the Mock Turtle's heavy sobs.” * Page: 7
Para: 4-"But it's no use now," thought poor Alice, "to pretend to be two people! Why, there am hardly enough of me left to make one respectable person!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pg. 54: That is true; I always try to find a moral in like sayings or quotes.

Pg. 76: It’s not when have to wake up from a wonderful dream. Waking up in the real world makes seem dull and boring after a wonderful dream like Alice’s older sister thinks.
