Alice's Adventures: Chapter 10

"I've often seen them at dinn- she checked herself hastily." pg.85

(R) Alice too learns from her mistakes just like anybody else. Before she let herslef say anything that might hurt the people she was around she stopped herself. Although the only reason and way Alice had the ability to stop herself was by making the mistake in the first place. She said something that brought uncomfortable feelings to the people around her. Even though Alice has no idea where she is she is still learning life lessons. It looked like Alice didn't even know of watching what she says before she came into all this mess.

"What is the use of repeating all that stuff?" The mock turtle interupted, if you don't explain it as you go on? It's by for the most confusing thing I ever heard?" pg.89

(Q) Why would the Mock Turtle ask Alice to repeat the poem just to judge her immediately about not understanding it after? (R) The Mock Turtle is quick to judge Alice's intelligence and her form of education. The Mock turtle tells about his experience in school which has to do with undersea parodies of real school subjects. Because of what he said right here to Alice he must have already felt like her was smarter than Alice. Although Alice did say she had repeated it wrong because she had so much others things in her mind at the time. (CL) The Mock Turtle must feel like everything has to make sense and if he can't understand it, no one else must be able to either.
