Reading Notes, Through the Looking Glass: Part A

For my reading this week I wanted to continue with my Alice and Wonderland theme so I chose Through the Looking Glass.

I didn't remember that Humpty Dumpty was in Alice and Wonderland so I decided to focus these notes on the Humpty Dumpty part of the reading.

(Humpty Dumpty)
The first part of this reading was very funny.  Alice approaches Humpty Dumpty and they share some conversation before Alice mentions the poem and Humpty Dumpty thinks that Alice has been spying on him.  He is completely unaware that there is a book about him.  He is sure that he would never fall off the wall and does not want to get down.

(Humpty Dumpty Cont.)
Humpty then asked Alice how old she was and she replie seven years and six months.  Humpty says that she should've stopped growing at seven and Alice said that was not possible.  Humpty said it was possible with two people.  Alice quickly changed the subject and Humpty got angry when she mistook his cravat for a belt.  They then talked about unbirthday presents and he asked her to subtract one from 365 and show him the math.

(Humpty Dumpty cont. again)
Humpty and Alice continued to carry on conversation and combining words to make new ones.  Then he said that he was going to recite a poem for Alice.

(Humpty Dumpty end)
Humpty recited the poem for Alice and then told her to leave and that he probably wouldn't remember her because she looks like everyone else.  Alice walked away saying how mean Humpty was but didn't get to finish her sentence because a loud crash shook the forest.
