Document Summary

Alice spends a lot of time asking herself questions and talking to herself. Reference to simple, na ve thoughts about being fantastical creatures and wild beasts. Alice scolds herself but doesn"t consider the fact that she didn"t think about the reasons or consequences for following the rabbit. She also shows innocence and gullibility when she doesn"t stop to think about the materials she is consuming and the effect that they may have on here. There is no pause to consider the consequences. The fact that alice is very whimsical and considers speaking to animals demonstrates the target of this piece of work and its intended audience. Alice tends to also speak without thinking beforehand. An example of this is when she was questioning the mouse whether he liked dogs (page 13) but her mouth opened to quickly and she offended the mouse. There was also no coordination during the caucus.
