Reading Notes: Looking-Glass unit Part A

For this week’s story, I chose to do a tale from the Looking-Glass unit. I have always adored all of the Alice in Wonderland stories and decided I wanted to write a story over one of the sections in this story. After reading them all, I decided to write notes over the Humpty Dumpty section. I really liked this one because it’s how Alice meets Humpty Dumpty and their conversations. In this story, Humpty Dumpty is somewhat cranky and just sitting on the wall; Alice asks him a few questions and with a snarky attitude, he answers them. I would change this story by switching it around- I would have Alice sitting on the wall and Humpty walking around and decided to go towards her and see what she is doing. Alice would be sitting on the wall wishing she knew how to get down, but could not figure it out. Humpty would be telling her how to get down, because he had done it before. After both of them spoke, and tried to figure out how to get Alice down, she ended up falling off. But unlike Humpty, she would not have broken anything or even hurt herself. After realizing that falling off of a wall would not hurt her, she would leave the wall and come back as she pleases. Her and Humpty Dumpty would go on many adventures together and avoid as many walls as possible. Until one day where they would reach a wall they could not avoid...
