I can't fully understand these chapters. good sentence: The tiger-lily waved itself passionately from side to side, and trembled with excitement. general idea: At first, Alice couldn't find the way to the hill and she was lost. Later, she came across tiger-lily and had interaction with some flowers. Alice found that the flowers could talk, which she had never seen before. Later, Alice met the red queen. Alice thought that she had grown a great deal (half a head taller than Alice). Alice had to do everything as she told because Alice was in awe of her. Finally, Alice went to the top of the hill and found what she saw was like a large chessboard. Alice then began running with the red queen and she was almost out of breath. (The most curious part of the thing was, that the trees and the other things round them never changed their places at all: however fast they went, they never seemed to pass anything. 'I wonder if all the things move along with us?' thought poor puzzled Alice. And the Queen seemed to guess her thoughts, for she cried, 'Faster! Don't try to talk!' ) The red queen drew some pegs and then disappeared.
