Reading Notes Part 1 "Down the Rabbit Hole"

Alice had grown tired of sitting with her sister. All they would do was sit while she read her book. Alice thought to herself, "What good is that book she's reading if it has no pictures or conversations in it?" Alice had grown so bored and tired she was waiting to jump at any opportunity to leave her sister.

Just at that moment, a little white rabbit came by. This was no ordinary rabbit, this rabbit had a coat and a monocle. This rabbit was running along saying "I'm gonna be late, oh I'm gonna be late." Alice thought this was as good of an excuse she'd ever see so she hopped up and followed the rabbit wherever it went.

Soon after she hopped up she saw the rabbit jump down a rabbit hole so without thinking about it she followed him down. The rabbit hole looked like a regular hole from the outside but once she fell in she could tell that this was no regular rabbit hole. Alice kept falling and falling and she noticed she could not see the bottom of the hole. Then some strange things began happening, the walls of the hole weren't made of dirt, they were made of books and shelves. Allice also felt like she wasn't falling at a regular speed, she was falling very slowly.

She spent her time thinking to herself, looking at the books and taking things off of the shelves. She started to feel sleepy while she was falling, so sleepy that she started to fall asleep. Just as soon as she started to dose off she plopped down on a pile of leaves. Not hurt at all.
