She did not hear the story as many women have heard the same, with a paralyzed inability to accept its significance. She wept at once, with sudden, wild abandonment, in her sister's arms. When the stor
I love this paragraph because it suddenly dives into Mrs.Mallard's personalities with such great details. I also find this description beautiful.
Maybe it's always pepper that makes people hot-tempered,'
This sounds like nonsense but this quote effectively describes Alice's child-like character and "colorful" imagination. I think these characteristics resonate well with younger readers especially.
`YOU'D better not talk!'
This is a funny conversation between gardeners. I think Carrol effectively used capitalizations of certain words to illustae the nonsense of the gardener, making the story even funnier. This part of the story reminds me of the cartoons I used to watch as a child.

I have to say that Carrol's vivid desperation of the non-human characters in the book really astonish me, not to mention the intricate inner-feelings each characters has.
There's no sort of use in knocking,'
The footman's character reminds me of Alice's temperament in last chapter. He is disconnected and hard to communicate with. He is inconsiderate and has his own way to accusing people. But I am surprised that Alice is not loosing her temperament.

`Oh! the Duchess, the Duchess! Oh! won't she be savage if I've kept her waiting!'
I think it is very interesting that the rabbit is the more dominate character, unlike most fiction where human have controls of the animals. And how do people not love rabbit taking like a old person; it is just too cute.
Poor Alice! It was as much as she could do, lying down on one side, to look through into the garden with one eye; but to get through was more hopeless than ever: she sat down and began to cry again.

never once considering how in the world she was to get out again.
Although Alice is not aware of wether if she will get out of the world, Alice is naive and is only focused on the unique world instead the potential danger that she might face.

I don't think there is a reading gap between boys and girls, I think it is just a preference
Making a guy wear skirt and cast female breast are inappropriate but common in our society
