The second chapter is called Pool of Tears, before we ended saying that Alice ate the cake, that cake made her grow nine feet tall. Alice was so tall that she couldn't fit an eye down to the door she started to cry, she cried so much that a pool was at the bottom of her feet. The rabbit came in talked to his self and as Alice tried to talk to him he scuttles away. when he leaves he drops a fan, she then starts to fan herself. Alice then thinks to her self that maybe she isn't Alice anymore and she is now Mabel a girl she knows. Mabel isn't as smart and gets very confused easily and that is how Alice felt. She is so confused about who she is that she says there is no point to get back to normal size and it will be just better to stay here and not rejoin society. as she is babbling about how she isn't Alice anymore, she realizes that the fanning is shrinking her down to her size where she can fit through the door. Alice falls down to the right size, she forgot the key again but before she can get upset she slips and falls in salt water and thinks she is swimming in the ocean but she is really swimming in her own giant tears. Alice finds a mouse to try and talk to but the mouse cant understand her, she trys French but as she is talking she mentions the word cat and the mouse jumps. Alice says sorry and trys again but then Alice mentions dogs which scares the mouse even more so he starts to swim away. Alice promises she wont talk about cats or dogs again if the mouse will come back. the mouse comes back and says swim to the shore and he will talk to her. They swam to shore together and the mouse talks about his hate towards cats and dogs. i connect this chapter with everyday life. i picked that to connect to because there are days when people just want to sit down and cry their day has been longer, hard, and just people being rude. Alice in this chapter kept forgetting that key she needed to get into the door and she just couldn't take it and started to cry.
This book seems exactly like the movie! I like it!
