Q.1Why did Alice follow the rabbit?v
Answer:

Alice followed the rabbit because she was curious about why it was in such a hurry. She saw a white rabbit with pink eyes hurrying down a rabbit hole, and her natural curiosity compelled her to find out where the rabbit was going and what it was doing. She did not stop to think about the consequences of following a strange rabbit into a hole, but simply acted on her impulse to discover what lay ahead.

Q.2Do you think this was a good idea?v
Answer:

Following the rabbit was a good idea for Alice in the context of her dream because it led her to Wonderland, where she experienced extraordinary adventures and met fascinating characters. Her curiosity was rewarded with magical experiences and interesting encounters that entertained her. However, in reality, following a stranger without knowing where they are going would not be a good idea at all. It would be dangerous and irresponsible. The difference between the dream world and the real world is important here, as actions that are acceptable in imagination may be foolish or harmful in actual life.

Q.3Why can’t Alice get through the little door into the garden?v
Answer:

Alice cannot get through the little door into the garden because she is too big to fit through it. After drinking from the bottle labeled 'DRINK ME', she grows even larger, making it completely impossible for her to pass through the tiny doorway. This creates a frustrating situation for Alice as she desperately wants to reach the beautiful garden she glimpsed through the door, but her size prevents her from doing so. The door becomes a symbol of the obstacles she faces in her strange adventure in Wonderland.

Q.4Why does Alice drink from the bottle that says ‘DRINK ME’and why does she eat from the cake that says ‘EAT ME’?v
Answer:

Alice drinks from the bottle that says 'DRINK ME' out of curiosity and a sense of adventure, despite knowing it might be dangerous. She is intrigued by the mysterious potion and wants to see what effect it will have on her. Similarly, she eats from the cake that says 'EAT ME' because she is hungry and curious about what will happen. Both actions demonstrate Alice's impulsive nature and her willingness to experiment with unknown things in this strange world. These acts of consumption lead to dramatic changes in her size, which becomes central to her adventures in Wonderland. Her curiosity drives her to take risks without fully considering the consequences, which is a key aspect of her character throughout the story.

Q.5How does Alice feel after all these changes?v
Answer:

After all the changes in her size, Alice feels very strange and confused. She realizes that she may never return to her normal size and become the right size again. This realization makes her feel anxious and uncertain about her future in this peculiar world. The constant transformations leave her disoriented and worried about what will happen to her next.

Q.6What do you think is going to happen next?v
Answer:

Based on the events of the story so far, it is likely that Alice will continue to follow the white rabbit with red eyes deeper into Wonderland. She may pursue the rabbit in hopes of finding answers about this strange place and possibly discovering a way to return to her normal size and her own world. As she ventures further, she will probably encounter more peculiar characters and situations that will test her courage and intelligence. The adventure will likely become more complex and mysterious, with Alice facing various challenges and obstacles. Her journey may lead her to discover the true nature of Wonderland and uncover the secrets behind the magical transformations she has experienced. The story suggests that Alice's adventure is just beginning and that many more extraordinary events await her.

Q.1What challenges does Alice face and how does she overcome them?v
Answer:

Alice goes through a variety of strange physical changes. The discomfort she feels at never being the right size acts as a symbol for the changes that occur during her adolescence. She continually finds herself in a situation in which she risks death. She gets in trouble because of her curiosity. As Alice progresses through her dream, she loses her sense of identity. At. the beginning of her journey, she was confused, anxious, and timid. Finally, she becomes a strong and confident girl, who is able to stand up for herself.

Q.2Have you ever had a strange dream? Share your dream in the class.v
Answer:

Once I had a strange dream of flying above a mountain using a parachute. From the mountain, I could see the green farms surrounding the ocean, cattle, and tall trees. It was a cheerful dream. In the dream, I felt completely weightless and free, soaring through the clouds without any fear. The landscape below was incredibly beautiful and peaceful, with colors that seemed more vivid than in real life. I could hear the sound of wind rushing past me as I descended slowly toward the ground. The experience felt so real that when I woke up, I was surprised to find myself in my bed. This dream made me realize how wonderful it would be to actually experience the thrill of skydiving or paragliding in real life.
