A garden is where the object is located. A second scenario in
Alice's dream finds her appearing in front of the Queen of Hearts in a courtroom. The garden setting is described as a beautiful and unique setting full with odd animals and creatures. The courtroom is a far more formal, aggressive, and stressful environment.
6. Why has the author chosen to emphasize certain details of the setting?
The author has chosen to emphasize particular local traits in
order to give Alice a fantasy world to explore. Because the author uses rich imagery and descriptions, the atmosphere is odd and dreamy. This enhances Alice's perception of the magnificent world she may discover and explore.
7. What mood is created by details of the setting? (gloomy,
tense, cheerful, etc.)? Explain your answer and use examples from the text to support your response. Your response should be a minimum of 5-7 sentences.
The particulars of the place create a quirky and creative atmosphere. The in-depth descriptions of the animals and other creatures that Alice encounters on her journey contribute to the surreal mood.

investigation.
