First Impressions Journal

After watching the Disney movie of this book numerous times as a kid I guess I was able to expect what was coming, however the other half of the book is called "Through the Looking Glass" so I believe that reading that there will be a whole lot more crazy stuff happening, in this continuation.

In the first chapter, 'Down The Rabbit-Hole', It narrates how Alice was by the river bank bored of her sister reading her a book. Out of no where Alice see's a rabbit run past her and it pulls out a stopwatch afraid it will be late for something. The rabbit then runs past the meadows and into a hole. Alice tries to run after the rabbit and catch it but then stumbles down the hole where the rabbit dived into. Alice fell slowly down the hole, as if she was floating down to the bottom. She then falls onto the floor with the normal gravitational pull, unhurt. She catches a glimpse of the white rabbit, then disappears around the corner.

She finds herself in a room with several doors, and a key sitting on a table in the middle of the room. She uses the key to try and open each door, then finds a door behind a curtain which the key was able to be used and unlocked the door. However the door was too small for her to possibly fit in it. she goes back to the table hoping to find something to help her out. She finds a bottle that has a tag on it, and written on the tag says "Drink Me". She then shrinks but then realizes as she shrank that she left the key on the table which she was now too small to reach. She then finds a cake that also had a tag saying "Eat Me", She eats it.

All this that is being explained in the novel is completely preposterous and impossible, I mean eating edible items that will change your size and being, falling down a rabbit hole and falling down as if you were drifting through space. All this is crazy however it is called Wonderland so i guess the place must be full of imaginative beings.
