Dummies' Guide to Alice in Wonderland

"Good afternoon," Thursday greeted from the front of the class. Behind her, as she spoke, a cat started to appear out of nowhere - grin first. "First of all, you should all know that Hamlet Dane is now the TA for this class. This week we're discussing Alice in Wonderland. Those of you from 20th century Earth would at least know it by reputation."

"I have a reputation?" the appearing cat said.

Thursday stepped aside and looked back. "Apparently," she replied. "As promised, we have a guest in our class today. This is the Unitary Authority of Warrington Cat, or the Cat Formerly Known As Cheshire. You would know him from the novel as the Cheshire Cat."

The Cat looked around the room with eyes that just appeared into view. "Does anyone have any Mogglicious cat food?"

Thursday continued without waiting for anyone to answer him. "The Cat is here to prove a point. Last week we discussed the power of words. Today's topic is how words can be used to confuse. Each of you are free to ask the Cat any questions. He will answer as he pleases."

"What if I please not to answer at all?"

"No Mogglicious."

The Cat appeared into full view. "Shall we begin?" he asked with a grin.

Today's extra credit question is: Why is a raven like a writing desk? Be creative.

Rory smiled, and decided to go with her favorite answer, though she knew the others.

It is nevar put with the wrong end in front.

Zack frowned. "It's nothing like a writing desk at all."

Naomi, was quite sadly not very creative, and didn't particulary understand the nature of the question, she blinked, "but it's not like a writing desk,"

Z knew this one (or at least, one of the answers to this one) because sometimes Jack thought he was clever.

Poe wrote on both. Hahaha.

Layla giggled, glad that she remembered at least one answer.

Because the notes for which they are noted are not noted for being musical notes.

"Blue" Lana wrote down, figuring a crazy question deserved a crazy answer.

A raven is black, and speaks. If you paint a writing desk black, and are schizophrenic, then a writing desk is also black and speaks.

After having put up with the cat all class, Hamlet decided to go with a nonsensical answer.

Because they both like pancakes.

Jude considered. And wrote down his answer.

Because they're black like an emo kid's soul.

They can both speak volumes if you know how to approach them.
