Oh Alice...

As I started reading the first six chapters of "Alice In Wonderland" I began to just laugh and roll my eyes as I went through the story. Alice is a very curious, spunky, playful character. From the very beginning we see her peeping over her sister's shoulder curious as to what she is reading. Then, almost immediately she notices a white rabbit and is suddently drawn to what he is doing, what he is wearing, and where he is off to. Another thing I found quite amusing about Alice is that she thinks she is quite intelligent when she, in fact, is not intelligent at all. As she is falling down the well, she starts talking about how deep the Earth is and wonders where she is pertaining to latitude and longitude. As I was reading I also noticed that Alice loves to talk and always seems like she has something to say about everything, whether she be talking to herself or to some other character. It's also commical how she cries a lot when she doesn't know what to do, but not a second later she is telling herself there is no use in crying. It almost seems that Alice is what we would call "ADD." She's always talking, or crying, or thinking about things. She also tries to talk or help others and ends up making things worse most of the time. I think she is a fun, cute, "ditsy" character so far. And I'm sure many children could relate to her because they are a lot like her. In fact, many people see children just as Alice is: hyper, talkative, curious, etc.
