The Mock Turtle is a very melancholy character, it is thought because he used to be a real turtle. He tells Alice his history of going to school in the sea, but cannot understand the school system that Alice describes to him- least of all the poetry she recites. Ironically, she cannot understand it either. Alice was holding a flamingo because she was playing croquet with the flamingo. (She used the flamingo as a croquet mallet.) A mustard-mine is a mine that produces mustard which is a vegetable. (chapter 9) Birds of a Feather flock together means that people of the same clique or group stay together. People should learn uglification because they should know what ugly is and how to deal with uglification.

Nice response Kal. I really liked the inferences you made regarding uglification. You did a nice job of addressing the questions and composing some nice complex sentences. I only have one question. I thought mustard was a mineral in the story. Check on that for me and let me know what you found out.
how can mustard be a mineral? you read+understood this better than i did
i agree with you Kal i think that the mustard is also a vegtable.
This was a really good post. I really liked whay you said about "birds of a feather flock together" and the uglification question.
