Choose two ideas to explore. After reading Chapter 8, choose two different prompts. For each, write about 80–120 words: give a clear answer, include evidence, and explain how the evidence supports your view.
The passages, questions and illustrations match the printable assignment. You can go back and edit your answers before submitting.
Choose exactly two prompts A. Courage and fear Alice reminds herself that the royal party are playing cards, but later fears the Queen. Is this inconsistent, or can courage and fear exist together? Discuss two moments from this chapter. B. Rules and fairness What would make this croquet game fair? Propose two changes and connect each to a problem in the chapter. Would the Queen also have to accept limits on her own behaviour? C. Reasoning and nonsense Compare what the King and the executioner assume beheading requires. When the Cat disappears, is their disagreement settled, or has the immediate problem simply gone away? Explain. D. Obedience and judgement Is Alice justified in hiding the gardeners after the Queen orders their execution? Consider the mistake, the punishment, and Alice’s alternatives. Support your judgement with details from the chapter. E. Reading an illustration Study the picture of Alice facing the Queen shown below. How does Tenniel present their relationship? Discuss two visible details and compare them with one specific moment in the text. 0 of 2 selected
