A Mad Tea-Party
Every character in Wonderland seems to be full of riddles and confusing comments that ridicule Alice. I wonder what exactly causes this, if it's those people who go there or if it's how they're raised in Wonderland.
The Hatter's watch shows the date instead of the time, does this mean that days pass by faster in Wonderland?
Why did the Hatter ask a riddle if he doesn't know the answer? I'm trying to figure out what all of the questions they ask mean and what they are related to.
So now we understand the time conundrum. It's been 6 o'clock for a long while. Do days not pass during this time, or does it simply stay 6 o'clock in terms of daylight, but actual days are counted?
Alice has very little patience with them, which I can understand with their attitude towards her. The mouse needs some help with his storytelling.
Why were they trying to put the dormouse into a teapot after Alice left? The tea party seems very unorganized and filled with confusion.
The Queen's Croquet-Ground
Why didn't they plant a new tree when they realized that it was producing the wrong color roses? They could also say it changed on its own after some time instead of continually painting the roses.
I'm pleased that Alice saved the three gardeners, even though everyone else has been so mean to her during her journey so far.
How does one play croquet with hedgehogs and flamingos?
The Queen has a very short temper. I now understand why they painted the roses instead of trying to explain their error.
Her response to everything is "off with his/her head" when it doesn't please her. How would she be able to behead the cheshire cat though? It can disappear whenever it pleases.
And my question was answered. Their entire debate was about whether they could behead a cat that only has a head showing, and the distraction gave it time to disappear.
Who Stole the Tarts?
The court seems just as uncoordinated as the rest of the land. I'm surprised they picked jurors who don't even know their own names very well.
The Hatter is still just as confusing, although he comes off as nervous and scared in front of the King and Queen. Hopefully we don't see him executed.
I appreciate that our courts of law are not as menacing as these. The King definitely rules with an iron fist. I can see why the Hatter is scared.
That dormouse is obsessed with treacle. He talked about it at the tea party, and now he burst out with "treacle" during the trial.
Wait, Alice is a witness?

Alice's Evidence
Alice is still growing as she gives her testimony. Although I'm unsure why they called her up. Will her growth cause any trouble with the court?
Is it really a rule that being too tall means you must leave the court? And at any rate, how large is the courtroom if Alice is more than a mile tall?
I feel bad for Bill, the lizard. He just can't catch a break this day.
The entire thing was a dream sequence... That's a rather anti-climactic way to end the story all of a sudden.
