Through the Looking-Glass

Hello, everyone! Now I read a new book, Through the Looking-Glass written by Lewis Carroll. A subtitle of this book is this: And What Alice Found There. Yes, this book is a sequel to Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. I’m going to write about this book from this post.

One day, Alice is sitting in a corner of the great armchair, half talking to herself and half asleep. While Alice is doing this, Kitty, a black kitten of Alice, plays with the ball of wool Alice tried to wind up. And it is perfectly undone when Alice notices that. She scolds Kitty, holds it up to the Looking-glass and says to it, “if you’re not good, I’ll put you through into Looking-glass House.” Then, the glass is beginning to melt away, and Alice is through the glass and jumps down into the Looking-glass room!!

What will happen to Alice in Looking-glass world?! See you next!

Alice~ part 5~ & A Letter to Alice

Hello! These days, it has become cold, so be careful not to catch a cold!

In the court, there are the King and Queen of Hearts, the White Rabbit and many creatures. The accusation is the following: the Knave of Hearts stole the tarts the Queen of Hearts made. And some witnesses come. The first witness is Hatter and the second is Duchess’s cook. But, these witnesses are completely useless. Then, next witness’ name is called. That is ALICE! The King and the Queen start discussing but Alice thinks what they say is nonsense, so she complains about it. The Queen says, “off with her head!” but nobody moves. “who cares for you? You’re nothing but a pack of cards!” says Alice. At this the whole pack of rise up into the air, and come flying down upon her. She tries to beat them off, and finds herself lying on the bank. These stories are Alice’s curious dream. Alice tells her sister her dream.

I’m going to write a letter to Alice.

Alice ~part 4~

Hi! I’m going to write about more Alice’s adventure.

Alice comes to play croquet with the Queen. However, this croquet is completely strange. The croquet balls were live hedgehogs, and the mallets are living flamingoes, and the soldiers have to double themselves up and stand on their ands and feet to make the arches. Even during the game, the Queen says, “off with his head!” so the soldiers have to leave off being arches. And at last, there are no arches and the players, except the King, the Queen and Alice, left. Then the Queen says to Alice, “have you seen the Mock Turtle yet?” and Alice’s answer is “no,” so Alice comes to visit the Mock Turtle with a Gryphon, a kind of the Queen’s pet. Alice, the Mock Turtle and the Gryphon enjoy talking and so on. Suddenly, “the trial’s beginning!” is heard in the distance, so Alice and the Gryphon rush to the court…

What will happen to Alice next?!

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland ~part 3~

Hello, everyone! I'm sad that the fall semester starts, but also happy that I study with you again😊

I'm going to write about stories in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.

After Alice manages to get out from the hall, she meets many strange characters. For example, she meets the Caterpillar, the Duchess, the Cheshire Cat, the Hatter and so on. At the March Hare's house, March Hare, the Hatter and the Dormouse holds a tea-party. Surprisingly, it's always tea-time there!!🍰

At last, Alice reaches the castle of the Queen of Hearts. Soldiers in the castle are made of playing cards. And Alice realizes the White Rabbit is there!

In fact, the Queen is always in bad mood and trys to behead soldiers or other people (card).😱

What will happen next?? See you in next post!
