This is a book report by Alice in Wonderland. I really liked this book to read and I had to read it for my English approach papers that you have to make in havo 4 and havo 5!
Summary:
Alice is outside with her older sister who is reading a book. She is very bored, until she sees
a white rabbit running away, who is talking. She follows the rabbit into the rabbit hole. Inside,
there are a lot of halls and she finds one with doors that are all locked. In the middle of the
room she sees a table with a key, she can open a door at the end of the hall and she finds
this beautiful garden but she is too big. After a lot of shrinking and growing, she finally
shrinks again and finds herself swimming in her own tears. Later, Alice finds the white rabbit
again and she goes to his house to find his gloves, here she grows larger than the house
itself. When she finally gets back to her normal size she runs into a wood where she finds a
puppy that is much larger than she is, when she runs away from him she finds a caterpillar
on a mushroom, after having a discussion with him she meets the duchess, who leaves her
with a baby to go to the Queen. Alice finds out the baby is actually a pig and lets it loose.
After meeting more creatures, she finally reaches the garden of the Queen, who wants to
chop her head off. Instead, they will play a game, but it isn't played as it is supposed to be.
The Queen leads Alice to the Mock Turtle, who is always sad and also tells her his story.
Later, they go to a trial, where someone is about to be executed. Here is where Alice starts
to wake up, because it was all a dream. When she is awake she tells her sister all about her
dream.

From chapter 7 page 70:
There was a table set out under a tree in front of the house, and the March Hare and the
