PAGES READ: THE WHOLE CHAPTER 1
Brief Summary of Action (what happened?)
Alice, who has been half-asleep and talking to herself, notices that her ball of yarn has come
tangled. She blames the trouble on Kitty, who is not the inside of being cleaned by Dinah.
While she scolds Kitty, she pictures that Kitty responds quietly to all of her blames.
Alice then becomes distracted by the winter weather, commenting on how the boys were
gathering wood for the bonfire but that it soon became too cold for the activity. She thinks
about the changing seasons, wondering that during the winter, the trees and fields must
sleep beneath the blanket of snow, but that in spring and summer, they turn green and
dance. Alice, who has been trying to get Kitty to copy the Red Queen chess piece, turns her
attention to the looking glass, in which she sees that there is another home, very much like
her own, but in which some things are reversed. She wishes longingly for the glass to
dissolve so that she can step into that other world. Suddenly, the glass becomes foggy, and
Alice enters the alternate world that is a mirror image of her own creation.
2. Inside, she notices that there is a fire like the thing in her home. She notices that the clock
has the face of an old man which smiles at her. She also sees that the room is not kept as
neat as the one she left, for there are chess pieces all over the floor. When she gets closer to
them, she realizes that they are talking and moving.
The White Queen seems to have lost her daughter, Lily, so Alice decides to bring them back
together by lifting up the Queen and setting her back on the table. The Queen seems to
think that she has been moved by a volcano, as they are near the fire so Alice decides that
she cannot be seen or heard. She does the same for the King, and also dusts him off, all of
which makes him really scared.
She notices a book and tries to read it, but at first she does not understand the language.
Then she realizes that the text must be reversed since she is in the looking-glass world, so
she holds the book up to the glass. The text is discovered to be the poem Jabberwocky, the
language of which she still does not understand. Alice, feeling like she will not have time to
see everything if she stays, floats downstairs and out the door to explore the garden.

A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF THE STORY:
Alice sits in her armchair at home, drowsily watching herpet kitten, Kitty, as she unravels a
ball ofstring. She snatches Kitty up and begins telling herabout “Looking-Glass House,” an
imaginary world on theotherside of the mirror where everything is backward. Alice
suddenly findsherself on the mantelpieceand steps through the mirror into Looking -Glass
House. On the other side of the mirror, Alice discoversa room similar to her own but with
several strangedifferences. The chessmenstand in the fireplace in pairs, oblivious to Alice’s
presence. Shecomes to the aid of the White Queen’sdaughter, Lily, but realizesthat the chess
pieces cannot see her. Alice becomesdistracted by a book onthe shelf, in which she reads a
nonsensical poem entitled “Jabberwocky.” Frustrated by the strange poem, she sets off to
explore the rest of the house.
Alice leavesthe house and spots a beautiful garden in the distance, but every time shetriesto
follow thepath to thegarden shefinds herself back at thedoor to the house. Confused, she
wonders aloud how to get to thegarden, and to her surprisea Tiger -lily responds. Other
flowersjoin in theconversation, and several ofthem start to insult Alice. Alice learns from
the flowers that the Red Queen is nearby, and Alice sets off to meet her. Alicemeets the Red
Queen, and the two engage in conversation, but the RedQueen constantly corrects Alice’s
etiquette. Alicelooks out overa field, sees a great gameof chess in progress, and tells the Red
Queen that she would like to join. TheRed Queen tells Aliceshe can stand in as a White Pawn
and marks a courseforAlice, explainingthat when shereachesthe end of the game, Alicewill
become a Queen.
Alice curiously finds herself on a train with a Goat, a Beetle, and a man dressed in white
paper. They each nag Alice until the train eventually lurches to a halt. Alice finds herself in a
forest, conversing with a chicken sized Gnat, who tells her about the different insects of
Looking-Glass World. After learning the names of the insects, Alice sets off again and
4. discovers that she hasforgotten the names of things, even her own name. She comes across a
Fawn, who hasalso forgotten thenames of things, and thetwo presson through the forest.
When Alice and the Fawn emerge from theforest, their memories of names come back, and
the Fawn runsaway in fear ofAlice. Alice soldierson alone until she meets Tweedledum and
Tweedledee, an identical pair ofheavyset men. The twins ignoreAlice’s repeatedrequests for
directions andrecite a poem instead. Tweedledum and Tweedledee notice the Red King
sleeping nearby and explain to Alicethat sheexists only as a figment of the RedKing’s dream.
Upset at first, Alice decides that the two of them speak nonsense. A fight spontaneously
erupts between Tweedledum and Tweedledee over a brokenrattle. A giant crow swoops
down and interrupts the fight, sending Tweedledum and Tweedledee running.
Alice slipsaway and encounters the White Queen, who explainsthat time moves backward in
Looking-Glass World. As they speak, theWhite Queen plasters herfinger, then screams in
pain, andfinally pricks herfingeron a brooch. After explaining to Alice that she used to
practice theimpossible daily, she transforms into a sheep in a shop. The Sheep asks a
disoriented Alice what shewould like to buy. Though the shop is full of curiousthings, Alice
findsthat shecannot fix hereye onany onething. The Sheep asks Aliceif she knows how to
row. Beforeshe knowsit, Alicefinds herself in a boat with the Sheep, rowing down a stream.
The boat crashesinto something andsends Alice tumblingto the ground. When she stands
she finds herself back in theshop. She purchases an eggfrom the Sheep, who places the egg
on a shelf. Alice reaches for the egg andfinds herself back in theforest, whe re the egg has
transformed into Humpty Dumpty.
Humpty Dumpty sits ona wall and criticizes Alice for having a name that doesn’t mean
anything, explaining that all namesshould mean something. Humpty Dumpty treats Alice
rudely, boasting that he can change the meaningsof words at will. When Alice learns this, she
asks Humpty Dumpty to explain the words of thenonsensepoem “Jabberwocky” to her. He
defines the words ofthefirst stanzaand then recitesa portionof his own poem. He abruptly
bids her goodbye, andAlice storms off, annoyed. All ofa sudden, a loud crash shakes the
forest and she watches soldiers and horsemen run by.
5. Alice comes across the White King, who explains to herthat he has sent all ofhis horses and
men, presumably to put theshattered Humpty Dumpty back together again. The King’s
messenger Haigha approaches and informs them that theLion and the Unicorn are doing
battle in the town. Alicesets off with her new companions toward the town to watch the
battle. They catch up with anotherof the King’smessengers, Hatta, who explains the events
of thefight thusfar. The Lion and Unicorn stop battling and the White King calls for
refreshments to be served. The White King tells Aliceto cut the cake, but she findsthat every
time she slices thecake thepieces fuseback together. The Unicorn instructs Alice that
Looking-glass cakesmust bepassed aroundfirst beforethey are sliced. Alice distributes the
cake, but before they begin eating, a great noiseinterrupts, and when Alice looks up, she
finds herself alone again.
The RedKnight gallops up to Aliceand takes heras a prisoner. The White Knight arrives at
Alice’s sideand vanquishes theRed Knight. Alice and the White Knight walk and talk
together, and Alice findsa friend in theeccentric chessman. He promisesto bring her safely
to the last square where shewill becomea queen. As they walk, hetells herabout all of his
inventions before sendingher off with a song. She crosses the final brook and finds herself
sitting on the bank with a crown on her head.
Alice finds herself in thecompany of the RedQueen and the White Queen, who question her
relentlessly before falling asleepin herlap. The soundof their snoring resembles music. The
soundis so distractingthat Alicedoesn’t notice when the two queens disappear. Alice
discovers a castle with a hugedoor marked “QUEEN ALICE.” Alice goes throughthedoor and
findsa huge feast in herhonor. She sits andbegins eating, but the party quickly devolves into
total worry. Overwhelmed, Alice pulls away the tablecloth and grabs the Red Queen.
Alice wakes up from herdream to find herself holding Kitty. She wonders aloud whether or
