The JOURNEY On 1st march, we went to Montichiari to watch a musical. Its name is “Alice in Wonderland”. We left at 7:30 a.m. from school. We went by coach and, during the journey, we sang some songs and we talked. When we arrived in Montichiari, we walked to the Gloria theatre.

For one hour and a half, we saw the musical. After that, we asked the actors some questions. Then we had a snack and, at midday, we came back and we did the last lesson.

ALICE IN WONDERLAND

One day, Alice was reading a boring book

and suddenly she saw a white rabbit and

she followed it.

Following the rabbit, she found herself in a

magic world, opposite a very small door,

but it was closed.

She stood up and went towards a table and

there she saw a bottle that wasn’t there

before.

There was a label with “DRINK ME” on it.

She drank it and became small, but the door was

still closed.

Then she saw a cake with the words “EAT ME”.

Alice ate the cake and she became very big and

she cried and her tears formed a sea.

There she met a Mouse, a Dodo, an Eaglet and a

Duck and she made friends. Later she came

across a mushroom as tall as her and met a

Caterpillar, but he was quite rude to her.

He told her:”Be careful! If you eat one side of the mushroom

you’ll become taller, but if you eat the other side you’ll become

smaller. Finally Alice came back to her normal size and saw a

small house.

She entered the house and she met a Duchess.

The Duchess was in a hurry because she had an invitation to

play croquet with the Queen.

Then she went out of the house and Alice met

the Cheshire cat who showed her two roads:

one to reach the Hatter and another to reach

the March Hare.

Alice decided to visit the Hare and saw a house with a tea table.

There were: a Hare, A Dormouse and a Hatter.

The four began to talk about time and making crazy speeches.

The Dormouse began to tell a story, but Alice went away

and reached the forest.

Alice found a little door and this time she managed to reach

a garden.

Alice entered the garden, where she found three living playing cards

painting red the white roses because The Queen of Hearts hated white

roses. Then, The Queen and the White Rabbit arrived and Alice met the

Queen, who invited Alice to play a game of croquet with her

using live flamingos.

Suddenly the Cheshire Cat appeared saying «A Queen without subjects is

not a Queen.”

The Queen heard the sentence and accused Alice, while the Cat

disappeared.

The process against Alice began.

The queen ordered the Executioner to take a lawyer for Alice. He came

back with Dodo.

Then the room was sucked into a vortex of chaos.

After a crazy process, the queen ordered to cut off

Alice’s head, but finally Alice

woke up just in time for tea.

All her adventures were just a dream.

Alice in Wonderland is a beautiful fantasy book. We saw the musical. The actors were English and they were very nice. In the story there are speaking animals, the queen, the duchess, the mad hatter, Alice and her sister.
