Highlight the comparisons in the passage. “When you say ‘garden,’ – I'VE seen gardens, compared with which this would be a wilderness.” . . . . “When you say ‘hill,"' the Queen interrupted, “I could show you hills, in comparison with which you'd call that a valley.”. . . . The Red Queen shook her head, “You may call it ‘nonsense’ if you like,” she said, “but I'VE heard nonsense, compared with which that would be as sensible as a dictionary!” —Through the Looking Glass, Lewis Carroll What do the Red Queen’s comparisons tell you about her? She is confused about what a garden, a hill, and nonsense look or sound like. She believes that everything she has seen or heard is better than what Alice has seen or heard. She is a patient person who never interrupts someone who is speaking. She thinks nonsense is as sensible as a dictionary.
