Alice's Adventures in Wonderland-Part 1



So far I have only read chapter 1 (it's all I had time for this morning before a meeting.) At the end of the tenth page, Alice had already followed the White Rabbit, fell down the rabbit hole, landed at the bottom, tried the key in all the doors, shrunk, and started growing. Based on this, I'm exciting because it seems like the action will be fast. Looking through the book it looks like there is a lot of poetry. I'm not sure what the purpose of this is--whether it is Carroll's style or if this was typical of literature in his time period. Nothing super interesting to report this time. Maybe I'll have more interesting things to say once the book starts getting more trippy.
