In the story Alice in the wonderland. In Chapter 5, Alice came upon a caterpillar. For a While both of them were staring at each other until the caterpillar spoke. Alice was telling the Caterpillar that she was Afraid. But he was confused about what she meant by it, Meanwhile minutes passed and the caterpillar asked Alice what size she would like to be?… she suggest that she wanted to be three inches taller. Alice took a piece of the mushroom from both sides one side made her smaller the other made her bigger but she didn’t know which was which so she had to test it out, the result made her rapidly smaller, she then had to swallow her left bit to grow again. In order for Alice to be her regular size again she had to test out different results. Before she got back to her normal self she had taken the left side of the mushroom and grew to an unimaginable height. This being so, a bird came out of its tree and started attacking her saying that she was a serpent because of her long neck. Alice exclaimed that she wasn't a serpent, and the bird said that serpents ate eggs all the time, and after explaining that little girls ate eggs just as much, the bird just said that that makes little girls a type of serpent and Alice couldn't argue with that fact.


Connection: Alice is growing up but she is not sure why she is changing. She is trying to figure out who she really is and why her size is growing and changing more and more. As you get older you have to experience different changes, even if it’s good or bad. In the Story Alice was testing out which piece of mushroom did what well she was experiencing different changes in her body due to the mushroom. But she still learned that at the end of the day she can only be herself and no else.

Think before you speak
  • In the chapter the pigeon was not thinking before she spoke because as you know snakes are not that big, She was not thinking before she spoke.

glasses.jpg- get a clear understanding!!!

This image connects to the story because Alice did not get a clear understanding of what side of the mushroom will make you either smaller or larger. [This picture shows a snap chat filter and the person is wearing glasses that is not clear enough for their eyesight.]


- Know what you want
This connects with the story because Alice doesn't know what height she wanted to be, she just knew she didn't want to be small anymore. With that being said, without a clear directive where will you go in life?

   - Know who you are

This connects with the story because Alice doesn't know who she is and the caterpillar in a way makes her this way to show her that she won't get anywhere without knowing who she is. Without an identity what is life

  3. I really like your thoughts on how Alice is just confused on why and how she is growing up. Can you elaborate more on how she learned that only person she can be is herself
