Chapter 4 is very unusual, yet interesting in the eyes of many. The rabbit is concerned about a supposed duchess who will execute him if he doesn't get to the queen with the needed tools in time. While frantically scattering about, He noticed Alice and starts yelling out “Mary Ann” name, due to Alice being afraid she ran off to his house to go look for his gloves and fan. While doing so she stumbled upon a bottle that said “drink me”and so, she decided to drink it hoping that her height might be affected. Sure enough, Alice grew larger than the house itself and was stuck inside the house. Soon after, the rabbit came yelling Mary Ann’s name again, not noticing Alice was gigantic in the house. Soon the real Mary Ann came about and explained to the rabbit that there was a gigantic person inside the house and the rabbit came to the conclusion that Alice needed to be removed. By doing so the rabbit called upon Bill to help after much failure between Mary Ann and the Rabbit. Soon after more failure the option to burn down the house came upon which startled Alice, After trying to burn the house down, they later started throwing pebbles at Alice that turned into cakes,  so she than decided to eat some which changed her height again. She ran as she got smaller, And finally she got away. But she ran into a puppy which she played with until she was able to get away.

In english class we, thought of how certain characters are like sentences. As a matter of fact, a few characters can be compared to sentences in a way which tells a lot about how the character acts. For example, Alice’s sister, she’s like a simple sentence you know? No independent or dependent clause, she’s just there. What we mean is her sister isn't a main role in the story and is not very loud or needy in the story like a complex or compound-complex sentence, and this tells a lot about her personality. These sentence connections with a character's personality works in many contexts for what you're trying to accomplish, like if you want to know exactly how a character is before you actually get to know them fully it would be good if you connected them to certain sentences for a reference or a prediction of who the character really is. Who knew? You can tell how people act and who they are based on sentences? Neat if you ask me. Knowing that would be very useful especially when meeting new people, you should try it!

This is a great topic for what we're talking about in our connection and how Alice and some characters can connect to certain types of sentences. What we mean is archetypes is a topic that is used very commonly, but in our opinion not in the right purpose. For a  thought, think about it in this way archetypes are describers, you have no clue what i’m talking about? Well, understand this like certain sentences archetypes can describe people in many ways than you think and can be debated that it’s better at describing than certain sentences therefore it's a great connection to the story and how the sentences connect to the story.

There's more to meets the eye when it comes to how to connect characters with their behavior or characteristics, and we all know what that is right! What we mean is we've found that you can describe teenagers with basic sentence structure… Because some teenagers are basic, like basic structure. Like nouns, pronouns, verbs, etc, but it’s really hard to do so. For example, you could describe Bill as an action verb because the rabbit wants him to do everything and Bill does it so he’s constantly moving period, or you could use the DoDo as an example, because he could be a conjunction and we say this because he joined many animals from the sea and Alice to do a caucus race and what does a conjunction do? They conjoin!
