Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll

The book I read was Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. The first part of the book was the regular Alice in Wonderland, in the second part it was Alice Through the Looking Glass. In the first part of the book, Alice discovered a secret drink that she drank and it made her very tall. She ate something after and it made her very short. A while after that she met a caterpillar. He was kind of rude to her and didn't seem to be pleased she was there. Shortly after she left the caterpillar she came across a tea party. They all talk about a song and ask Alice if she remembers it. Theres lots of characters, but some of the main ones are Alice, the Hatter, and the King. Alice is a very polite girl and is curious about everything. The Hatter is a man that is very smart and always wears a hat. The king is very mean and likes to fight, he isn't a good guy. 

In the second part of the book, Alice met a kitten. A short while later she saw a very scary creature. Alice walked into a garden and met many other people on her journey. She saw plenty of animals too, like deer and a walrus. Alice was having fun but she was also upset. "Only it is so very lonely here! Alice said in a melancholy voice; and, at the thought of her loneliness, two large tears came rolling down her cheeks" (166) The quote is trying to say that where Alice is right now is very lonely because she is living in the woods and don't have very many real people friends. She wants to be around more people. This relates to my personal life because on Vinalhaven there isn't a lot of people to hang out and I get lonely sometimes too.
