"Most Memorable Moment" Journal

The most memorable part I remember from reading my section is when Alice met the Unicorn. She said that Unicorns were such fabulous monsters and her and the unicorn repeated several times. This shows how girls Alice’s age like things like Unicorns, dolls and most animals. That why she is getting along with every animal/monster in this book. Most girls would be scared just looking at them. She even met a caterpillar with no eyes smoking a pipe which is very interesting. Later on in the story the Lion and the Unicorn think that they can beat each other in taking the crown. They insult each other until the King interrupts them. The Unicorn called the Lion a chicken which is funny because Lions are supposed to be fierce animals but in this case a Lion was made fun of by a mythical creature. In the Looking-glass the Lion is very tamed creature and wears a monocle. The Unicorn is also wearing some funny clothes which makes it more interesting. Not to mention, that when Alice first heard the Unicorn talk she giggled like a little girl and smiled at the unicorn. Then she goes on to say that Unicorns are such fabulous monsters. Alice also goes on to say "If you believe in me, I'll believe in you. Is that a bargain?" Which is such a girly thing to say in my opinion. I don't blame Alice because her character is supposed to be a well-manner English girl from a rich family. Alice is an ideal eight-year old girl. When I first read this passage, the first thing that came to mind was Alice being an ideal little girl. She obviously falls in love with the Unicorn and giggles when seeing it. After that when the Unicorn was arguing with the Lion I also thought that Alice was cheering on the Unicorn since it was her favourite animal which I'm assuming. In conclusion, in my section this was the only moment that caught my attention because Alice wasn't her well-mannered self , actually showing her girly side and light use of humor.
