"Most Memorable Moment Journal "

I felt that my section of the book was very strange and random. The book is introduced to two more strange creatures ( a Gryphon, and a Calf-headed Turtle) that later on teach Alice to sing and dance with Lobsters. In my opinion, that was the most memorable moment in my section.

The scene starts off with The red Queen ordering The Gryphon to wake up and take Alice to see the Mock Turtle. When Alice and the Gryphon arrive to the Mock Turtle's home, they already start to see and hear the Turtle crying, sobbing, and sighing. The Gryphon and Alice then sits down to hear the Mock Turtles story and why he was so sad. The turtle explains how he was once a regular turtle, and how he went to a underwater school. He continues to explain that he had the best possible education, and that he was fortunate enough to learn the "Lobster Quadrille". Explaining the "Lobster Quadrille", the Gryphon and Mock turtle begin to start dancing and singing with very random, and strange lyrics.

This part of my section was the most memorable because as the Mock turtle tells his story, there are many points in the conversation that involved "play-on-words" puns. For example: Alice asks the turtle why his teacher's name was "tortoise" if he wasn't a tortoise, and the Mock Turtle responds with "Because he taught us.

After reading my section, I found that this book was very strange, random, and riddiculous, much like a stupid dream.
