Read this excerpt from Throug'h the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll. “I like the Walrus best,” said Alice: “because you see he was a LITTLE sorry for the poor oysters.” “He ate more than the Carpenter, though,” said Tweedledee. “You see he held his handkerchief in front, so that the Carpenter couldn't count how many he took: contrariwise.” “That was mean!” Alice said indignantly. “Then I like the Carpenter best—if he didn't eat so many as the Walrus.” “But he ate as many as he could get,” said Tweedledum. This was a puzzler. After a pause, Alice began, “Well! They were BOTH very unpleasant characters—” The details of this conversation about a poem Tweedledee has just recited suggest that Alice knows this poem and has heard it recited before. Alice cannot use reason to win an argument in the mirror world. Alice does not really understand what the poem is about. Alice wants to hear the poem again before moving along.
