Reading Notes: Alice in Wonderland: Part B

(Flamingos by Valdiney Pimenta)

The Queen's Croquet Ground by Lewis Carroll:

Characters: Alice, Queen of Hearts, King of Hearts, Cheshire Cat

Alice: Still seems to insert herself in other's business. 

Queen of Hearts: Needs to have things going her way. Is very powerful and the Matriarch seems to have the power in this world.

King of Hearts: Tries to keep the Queen kind of reasonable, but usually it doesn't work out that way. 

Cheshire Cat: a source of chaos. can phase into and out of reality. maybe related to Obito


Plot: Alice has left the teas party that was with the Hatter and the March Hare. She sees a garden and some playing cards painting roses red. They tell her it's because the Queen wanted red and they made a mistake. The Queen arrives with her precession and orders the cards heads be cut off. Alice hides them so they're safe. She then goes and plays croquet with the Queen. The clubs are made with a live flamingo and the balls are hedgehogs. This is confusing so Alice finds the Cheshire cat and talks to him. She's about to say a mean thing about the queen but she's right behind her and she changes it to a nice thing. The King then sees the cat and wants it to kiss his hand, but he doesn't. This makes the King get the Queen and have her say to behead it. Alice then goes to try to play croquet again. She looks back and they're arguing about if you can behead a head.


Setting: They're in the Queen's gardens. There's a bunch of ridges in the ground. I don't think the location plays a major part here. 


What I Can Change: This story is pretty strange. I can think the main things I would want to write about would be that Cheshire cat and what he's thinking about when he just phases in and out of reality.
