Chapter 3

I’m connecting Alice to Love and Hip Hop most famous love triangle. Which would be Peter, Amina, and Tara. I’m connecting the caucus race to this because both is meaningful at the end of the day. With the whole love triangle thing Peter cheated on Tara with Amina, and ended up marrying Amina. After a while of them being married he cheated on Amina with Tara. The issue at the end of the day is that if he cheats on Tara with you what makes you think he won’t cheat on you with someone else. I think this is meaningful because Amina tries to get Peter to stop cheating because he hurts her when he does it but its only so much she can say when she’s constantly putting herself through it by staying with him. Amina says she stays with him because of their child together and she wants to be a real family when in the real world she doesn’t realize she took him from his real family. I feel as though this relates to the Caucus race because Alice excuse of her running in the race is because she wants to get dry and that she feels as though she haves to in order to get dry. It’s pointless because the water keeps coming even if they do keep running. So at the end of the day the point that I’m trying to make is that it’s only so much a person can do or say it’s up to them if they continue to put themselves through it.

Its pretty obvious that people care about things too much. In the article i read its talks about things that people care too much about.  In the story, i would say the mouse cares too much about his past. He trying to hide something. Also in the article it talks about politics. It's pointless to worry about the small stuff. In chapter 3 Lewis Carroll makes fun of politics saying it’s pointless  

Alice shrinks again and is able to go through the door but gets swept away in a flood of her own tears. She goes to land and finds a bunch of animals having a caucus meeting. Since everyone is wet the dodo orders a caucus race. After an half an hour everyone is not wet anymore. The dodo bird said everyone deserves prizes and pointed at Alice. Then, Alice gave out comfits. When the dodo asked what else she had she said a thimble which the dodo took and gave back. The rest of the animals pleaded that the mouse tell the rest of his story, but the mouse gets angry and leaves, which makes Alice upset.
