A lobster quadrille is just a dance. The Dance is just like square dancing but only in a circle.There are two lines formed in the lobster quadrille. I think the reason that Alice is having a hard time remembering things because she is starting to wake up from her dream.She is starting to get back to reality. In the book the lines are repeated twice because the words are a song. IN most songs some of the lines are repeated more than once. The mock turtle and the Gryphon are arguing over the dance because they do not like each other and the two always think that they are right and never wrong.

A Knave is a jack playing card. I'm not sure the book said what the Knaves responsibilities were. Alice is growing even though she didnt eat or drink anything because she is starting to come out of her dream. As she is coming out of her dream she starts to grow back to her normal size. I don't think there is actually any evidence in Wonderland. Everything else is not normal so why would a court trial be normal. I dont think Alices sister really sees the same thing as Alice does. She just wants Alice to think she is having the same dream as her. Everyone wants Alice to leave because she is growing rather large and starting to knock everything over. Alice is called to the stage to testify because she is a stranger to Wonderland. Wouldn't you want to question a stranger if something went missing. The Knave is accused of stealing the tarts beause he is always lying.

In Alice in wonderland a Knave is a male servant.The white rabbit has a horn because he uses it to get the courts attention when he is about to address a topic and everyone is being loud. Everyone wants Alice to leave because she is growing out of control and she keeps knocking things over and being very obnoxious.The reason Alice is forgetting things so fast and is getting so big is because she is starting to wake up.The reason Alice is testifying even though she knows nothing is because she is a suspect its just like normal court room the have suspect then vote on who they believe committed the crime.The reason the sounds around her have affected her dream is because she is in the state of being asleep and being awake.
A knave is a male servant and in the case of Alice in Wonderland, the knave is a card and is a servant of the queen. The knaves responsibilities are to do anything and everything the queen asks of them, from gardening to being pieces in a croquet game. Yes the white rabbit at the end in the courtroom is the same rabbit that Alice followed down the hole in the beginning of the story. Everyone wants Alice to leave because she has caused many problems and is constantly growing in the courtroom and is beginning to tear things up. Alice is forgetting things so quickly and continuing to grow at the end of the story because she is beginning to wake up from her dream. The white rabbit has a horn because he uses it to get the courts attention when he is about to address an issue.

Make Up Work


Well as most of you know I haven’t been at school for a couple of days so I have a lot of catching up to do. Ans I didn't drop out so no worries there. So here are like three different assignments all in one. Alice was holding a flamingo because she was using it as her croquet mallet. "Birds of a feather flock together" means birds are attracted to other birds just like them. Just as humans are attracted to other humans like them. The duchess isn’t so much her friend but someone there to help her. Alice thinks that pepper is what makes people hot tempered because it is hot and she has her mind set that that’s what makes people hot tempered. A mock turtle is a being with the body of a turtle and the head, hooves and tail of a calf, or basically a being put together with body parts of everything used to make mock turtle soup. The Lobster-Quadrille is a dance that is performed in two lines by the sea shore. I think that Alice was afraid of offending someone that’s why she didn’t finish her sentence. Alice has a hard time remembering things she once learned in school because she has no one there to tell her what’s right and wrong and the people that she’s hanging out with are doing all these things that she was taught that were bad for her. The fight between the mock turtle and gryphon was just a fight to get the last word in because neither of them actually knew what was right or wrong. Alice is growing because she is coming out of her dream. The rabbit has a horn because it is used to get attention of all the people and creatures who are either part of the trial or onlookers. Everyone wants Alice to leave because she is growing out of control and she keeps knocking things over. She sent the jury flying out of their seats. She doesn’t know anything about the trial but the king questions her just to make sure she doesn’t know anything.

The knave is what most people refer to as the jack. The knave, or jack, is the king and queen’s worker. His responsibilities include doing the king and queen’s garden work and also there chores. The white rabbit that announces at the end is the same rabbit that Alice followed into wonderland. The reason the rabbit was saying he was late is because the queen is so strict and the rabbit works for the queen and didn’t want to get beheaded for being late. The rabbit has a horn because he uses the horn to get the attention from people he is getting ready to talk to. The people of wonderland want Alice to leave because she is tearing things up as she constantly grows taller. Why is she growing? Alice is growing because she i slowly waking up from the dream she is in. The King calls Alice to testify because the king thinks that Alice is committed of a crime or has something to do with one.

A knave and his trial. A knave is defined as villain, thief or persons of low birth and therefore dubious intentions. It also means the jack or card ranked directly below the queen in a deck of 56 playing cards. So in this story it’s a play on words because it means both or at least they’re using both meanings. As for his responsibilities, I don’t really know but I assume that he’s supposed to back up the king and queen since he’s also royalty. I think that Alice is growing because she’s stating to wake up, she’s starting to realize that wonderland is nothing but a crazy dream and she can do whatever she wants to. I don’t think that there’s any evidence at all against the knave, except for his name. there is a poem that they try to use as evidence against the knave but since it doesn’t mean anything, at least to me, its not really evidence, its just a poem. They know that it was the knave who stole the tarts because they caught him red handed, but he is cast as the bad guy and its hard to get over those stereotypes even if you are innocent.
Alice and the king. alice was testifying in the trial of the knave because shes the main character in this story. as the main character alice is involved in all things in wonderland. and i think tht the king made up the mile-high rule because alice was diagreeing with him and moreover, I wouldn't want some giant girl yelling at me.
The rabbit has a horn because he is that guy that blows the horn everytime royalty walks in a room. Alice is forgeting things so quickly because she is starting to wake up. Everyone wants Alice to leave because she is not like them and she always has to have an explination for everything that goes on. Yes, Alices sister is dreamng Alices dream, because Alice told her all about it. I really have no idea why she is called to the stand to testify. I think its because the Queen doesnt like her so she is doing everything she can to get rid of her. Like I said in the last sentence, because the Queen doesnt like her!!

Alice's sister was not dreaming the same dream as Alice, because when Alice feel alsleep her sister was reading a book. The rabbit has a horn because he is the one who blows it at the trial. No Alice's sister did not see everything Alice was deaming because she was dreaming. The Mad Hatter was on trial because he took the Queens crumpets. Alice is forgetting things so fast because she was starting to wake up. Alice's dream was inspired by the surounding things and the littlt bit of the story her she had that she read.

A knave is a more fancy way of saying a cards name, a Jack of Hearts or another suit of cards. All the evidence in the story is coming from people in Alice's dream world. The people gossip of stuff that she has done, and her sister was in a different dream that has no meaning to Alice. Two dreams can not be one no matter how you look at it. Alice would not die if she didn't get the cards with her hands, but the Queen would have said, "Off with her HEAD!!!" Alice tryed to get all the cards with one swing of her arms and failed. The cards turned to leafs and the world she was living in disappeared. Alice is forgetting things so fast because she is waking up, and falling back to sleep. When you are in a dream you can start fading in and out of some stuff or even change the story of your day.

I think the knave is kind of a prince. i always thought that thats what the knave was. So his responsibilties would have to be princly duties. Alice is testifing because she was called to the stand. or possibly because it was her dream. In all probability she only testified because it was her dream. Alice's sister coldn't quite see what Alice saw but she imagined it to the best of her abilities. Everyone wants Alice to leave because it is a rule that if your are a mile high your not allowed to be in the court room
I think Alice is growing cause she is getting nervious plus she is fixing to wake up and relize it was just a big dream. I don't think she really seen what see dreamed i think she might of had her own dream just like Alice's. I think she is forgetting thinks so quick is cause she has been some where were she does not have to think. Then she gets used to not thinking that she startes forgetting every thing. Why everyone wants Alice to leave is cause she has gotten so big and they all wont there space. I think the King makes up this rule cause he does not lke Alice being able to see what they are putting down. Therfore she has to leave cause she can see everything.


Alright for the first question "where s all this evidence" the evidence in the trial was all fictional and non existant. This was a part of the confusion and illusion that the artist uses to explain and dramatize the dream world of a little girls dream. When your young you always seem to feel unable to defend yourself and often plagued with misguided accusations.
This is also the reason that she continues to forget things so quickly and easily, its a part of the frustrating reality of a dream. when you dream there is always some inconsistancy that can drive you insane such as chronic forgetfulness.
And such as in any dream everything in your dream is influenced by events and sounds around you. however this reality that stands true in most dreams did not seem to make since for why she continualy shrunk and grew. The closest explanation i culd possibly give is that she was bouncing back and forth from feelings of superiority and inferiority.

The mad hatter is at the trial cause he is the first witness to be called to trial. he is called to the trial by the rabbit that has a horn. The horn he has is used to get the attention of the crowd also to call up witness. As the trial goes on Alice continues to grow At the same time she begins to forget things. the reason for this is cause she is starting to wake up. Also i think that her dream is being influenced from noises from the world she lives in.

Alice is growing because she is slowly coming out of her dream. It is apparent because she has not eaten anything or drank anything. The book does not say what concert the king is referring to. The "evidence" does not seem to be provided for the trial. Perhaps in Wonderland, when there is a trial, no evidence is needed as it is in our world. The rabbit has a horn because it is the instrument used to gather the attention of all the people and creatures who are either part of the trial or onlookers. Everyone wants Alice to leave because she is growing out of control and she keeps knocking things over. She sent the jury flying out of their seats. Although Alice knows nothing about the trial she is questioned because the king does not know that she knows nothing. He calls her up for questioning because he thinks that she either comitted the crime or that she may have had something to do with it.
The rabbit is holding the horn because he blows the horn every time a person is called to the stands on trial. Yes I believe that the rabbit Alice followed down the hole is the same rabbit that is in wonderland. Everybody wants Alice to leave because she is always messing things up. She is growing to big in the court room and is tearing everything up in the room. Alice is forgetting everything because she is starting to wake up and reallize what's going on. The mad hatter is not on trial. He is just a whitness for the stands.

The Knave is a card, his responsibilities are undefined in AAIW. The reason that Alice is continuing to grow even though she is not eating or drinking anything is because she is beginning to grow back to her original size. In AAIW the Hatter is not on trial, he is a witness presenting evidence in the trial. The reason that the King made up a rule is because he was trying to get Alice out of the courtroom because she keeps contradicting him. The rabbit doesn't have a horn, he has a trumpet, the reason he has it is because he is the prosecuting attorney and needs it to draw attention to himself so he could be heard. Everyone wants Alice to leave because she is constantly growing and smashing into everyone's personal space and really annoying them.
