Alice's Adventures: Chapter 12

" If any one of them can explain it, ... I don't beleive there's an atom of meaning in it. " Pg.102

(E) I believe the author is trying to show us that Alice is realizing that the letter read by the White Rabbit really is incomprehensible. She is not afraid or has enough courage to say this outloud in the court because she was growing larger as more time went by. The way Alice activly grows larger and larger during the court is a way the author is trying to show that she is growing more aware of certain things. (R) She is finding out that deciphering every thing she comes into contact with in wonderland is almost pointless. The reason being is because none of what she encounters can or will make sense. Alice was trying to point out that the letter didn't make sense, therefore not being sufficient enought evidence for the case, as the king was desperately trying to connect it with.

" ... and found herself lying on te bank, with her head in the lap of her sister, ... " pg.105

(R) The whole time Alice's adventures was just a simple dream of a young girl. It seemed Alice was growing more aware of Wonderland not being a real place because she was literally "growing" more aware of this as time passed, until she woke up. When Alice woke up she told her sister all about her dream. This dream in turn influenced another dream, but from Alice's sister. Alice's dream reminds her sister of her own childhood. Although she got this dream heavily influenced by Alice, she knew that she had to come back to reality since she was a bit more mature than Alice.
