The quote I chose was,
"However, this bottle was not marked 'Poison,' so Alice ventured to taste it, and, finding it very nice (it had, in fact, a sort of mixed flavour of cherry-tart-, custard, pine-apple, roast turkey, toffy, and hot buttered toast), she very soon finished it off."
I really liked this quote for a lot of reasons. One of them was because I love how the author described the taste of the bottle. I mean, I know it is very unrealistic, but when you read it, you are already in another world. But it made me wonder, why drink something that you have no clue what it is? I mean, now a days, you HAVE to watch your drink at parties, and you HAVE to make sure no one spikes it with anything. So, even though she wasn't at a party, and was probably in a different time, why you she do something so stupid? Because in the book, it makes her shrink, and I know that's not bad, but it could have been something worse, right?
