Chapter 7 "The Mad Tea Party" (Haven)

           

           

        The Victorian era had a lot of rules, in which the tea party was one. In the story Alice in the wonderland chapter 7, the hatter and March hare had a tea party until Alice came in to join. The table was large but for some reason they said “no room, no room. “but “there was plenty of room” said Alice, Alice then sat on the other side of table, Later on, the mad hatter then started coming up with riddles, Alice tried to figure out the riddles but it didn't make sense. The hatter pulled out a watch that only told the day of the month and not the time like a regular watch. Alice said that her watch doesn’t tell her what year it is, because it stays the same for a long time. Hatter comment “which is just the case with mine” Alice didn’t understand the Hatter comment, So Alice then said. “I think you might do something better with time, then waste it in riddles that have no answers. Alice stated that it was the stupidest tea-party in her life and picked her way through the woods, after walking in the woods she founded a door, there was a little glass table and a golden key she unlocked the door with a key and it led her to a garden.

After reading this chapter, I think that Lewis Carroll did not like the way the Victorian era was because, in the story the character were being rude. When the young lady Alice walked in the room the man is supposed to stand up and greet Alice like they did in the Victorian era, because of the rule they had. I also think that the mad hatter was referred to as Lewis Carroll because as you should know Lewis Carroll had serious problems, and The Hatter was referred to people who had a disease called mercury poison this disease came from a factory. It can lead to slurred speeches, memory loss, tremors, and excessive timidity, And I say this connects to Lewis Carroll because he had a lot of issues but the one issue that stand out the most was. He always would have speech problems only in front of adults, and hatter usually would have slurred speeches.

Connection: This story connects to 2016 because the Victorian era has affect us today still, i say this because the men usually go to work and they leave the kids home with their wife, well that is still happening today, another thing that still is the same is the Victorian man also expected that when he was home that his home would be clean and well-ordered, warm and, have a good meal on the table.
