PLEASE HELP!! Which detail does Lucia need to avoid in her
paraphrase?
O The egg is Humpty Dumpty.
O Alice expects Humpty Dumpty to fall.
O Humpty Dumpty crosses his legs.
O The egg has eyes, a nose, and a mouth.
Lucia is paraphrasing this passage from Through the
Looking-Glass to help her understand what she reads.
However, the egg only got larger and larger, and more
and more human: when she had come within a few
yards of it, she saw that it had eyes and a nose and
mouth; and when she had come close to it, she saw
clearly that it was HUMPTY DUMPTY himself. "It can't
be anybody else!" she said to herself. “I'm as certain
of it, as if his name were written all over his face."
It might have been written a hundred times, easily, on
that enormous face. Humpty Dumpty was sitting with
his legs crossed, like a Turk, on the top of a high wall
—such a narrow one that Alice quite wondered how
he could keep his balance and, as his eyes were
steadily fixed in the opposite direction, and he didn't
take the least notice of her, she thought he must be a
stuffed figure after all.
