BR 3-8: Through the Looking Glass

It pretended it had not heard Alice's question. (p. 69)

      When it comes to Alice in Wonderland, it comes up with an idea that a strange girl is dreaming of exploring in a world which she creates in her mind, which are all her dream. In other words, they are supposed to be her loving fantasy.
     This is the first time I've read Through the Looking Glass and take a look at the different world. The common thing with the former story is that we can see the word play which is sometimes similar to Japanese dajare and sometimes grammatical ones. For example, Alice says she loses her way, but the Queen answers that it can never happen because all the ways are belong to her in the world. The most interesting point is the Queen claims seriously and Alice can't tell anything against her. Besides, there is a scene which can be seen understandable and convincing. An egg like a man, Humpty Dumpty is wearing a beautiful neck-tie which is given by the Queen on an un-birthday. Are you with me? He would like to just tell that the day is not his birthday. Apparently it can be understood, not in this way of speaking, but it gives us time to think that logically.
     Through the Looking Glass leaves us a problem that who is seeing the a sequence of the story and what is the intention. I'm guessing most of them comes from Alice, but her kitty and a mother cat appear in the introduction, so she is talking with them through her dream in her way.
