Alice was very glad to find her in such a pleasant temper,
This was probably the only time Alice had found someone who seemed to be evenly tempered, whereas all of the other characters she had encountered were often found to be bickering with one another or challenging each other with pointless questions that didn't seem to make any sense.
That's none of YOUR business, Two!' said Seven.
This conversation between these characters reminds me of the little conversations/arguments between two bickering toddlers who are usually fighting over a silly little object. The author portrayed these characters as if they were only small and immature children who were bickering over a something useless.
The table was a large one, but the three were all crowded together at one corner of it: `No room! No room!' they cried out when they saw Alice coming. `There's PLENTY of room!
This quotation reminds me of the characteristics of small children who refuse to share any of their belongings with anyone else. The three who were crowded around one end of the table refused to give up more of their space to a stranger, which also made them seem very selfish; having a grudging nature of not wanting to make one feel welcome in their territory.
It was, no doubt: only Alice did not like to be told so. `It's really dreadful,' she muttered to herself, `the way all the creatures argue. It's enough to drive one crazy!'
It seems as though Alice is beginning to get a little annoyed with the queer personalities of the creatures she had encountered (this one especially). I also gathered from this quotation that Alice is one who doesn't like to be challenged with questions, which reveals a little bit of her stubbornness .
This was not an encouraging opening for a conversation. Alice replied, rather shyly, `I--I hardly know, sir, just at present-- at least I know who I WAS when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then.'
Once again, Alice is found doubting her identity. The sudden change in the location of her whereabouts have caused her great confusion. It seems as though the more she is given the question "who are you?" the more she is doubting her own identity.
Run home this moment, and fetch me a pair of gloves and a fan! Quick, now!'
This interesting little creature represents a common trait that can be found in each person. He's constantly in a rush, always wanting to get from point A to point B in a split second without any delay, having very little patience for anything or anyone he encounters. I know that I often find myself in this situation, always wanting to get somewhere very quickly without having any distractions.
How queer everything is to-day! And yesterday things went on just as usual. I wonder if I' ve been changed in the night? Let me think: was I the same when I got up this morning? I almost think I can remember feeling a little different. But if I'm not the same, the next question is, Who in the world am I? Ah, THAT'S the great puzzle!'
Alice found herself to be in quite a mess (not knowing where she is and not knowing how she was going to return home). Alice is so confounded about her whereabouts that she starts questioning her own identity. This quotation, I believe, reveales to the reader the fact that change in an environment can really influence the way someone thinks and/or acts.
Down, down, down. There was nothing else to do, so Alice soon began talking again. `Dinah'll miss me very much to-night, I should think!' (Dinah was the cat .) `I hope they'll remember her saucer of milk at tea-time.
I found it somewhat funny how Alice wasn't at all concerned with the fact that she could have been falling to her death. instead she occupied herself with silly little ideas and thoughts about how her cat was being taken care of and whether or not her cat would be able to catch bats. In this quotation she is portrayed to be quite a naive little girl.
I want to focus on our future.
by focusing on our future now, we will most likely enhance the lives of many Americans.
