CHAPTER 5

Alice meets a caterpillar that was sitting on a mushroom smoking a hookah pipe. Alice was speechless as they stared at each other in silence. “Who are you?” the caterpillar ask breaking the silence. Alice, having a hard time explaining herself gives up and starts to walk away. The caterpillar feeling offended, calls her back only to receipt a poem. After she has finished, the caterpillar questions what size she would like to be. Alice says that being 3 inches tall, is a terrible height to be which insults the caterpillar since he is 3 inches exactly. The caterpillar then crawls away feeling a great amount of disrespect and disturbance, but before he leaves, he gives again Alice another piece of useful advice identifying that one side of the mushroom with make you shrink smaller and the other will make you grow taller. In the story, the caterpillar, which Alice comes across, doesn’t have a specific color mentioned, but usually a caterpillar would be either green meaning supernatural or possibly black meaning death or the end of something. To concur into more detail, supernatural would identify that what Alice is going through is out of range and is not likely to happen. Death or the end of something would be identified as Alice ending this growing smaller or taller segment while adventuring around in Wonderland. The caterpillar is seen smoking a hookah and a way I can relate this to 2016 is how when people are addicted to something such as a drug, they become more conceited with themselves and have a higher range of mood swings such as the caterpillar. A series of gifs have been provided below to demonstrate the caterpillars advice. Each gif is provided with one of the caterpillars advice along with an explanation. Overall, in this chapter I can come to conclude and agree that this chapter shows Alice focusing on her priorities such as becoming the size she desires and taking risk by eating each side of the mushroom not knowing what the out come will turn out to be.
