Alice in Wonderland
68-79
Alice entered the garden and came upon five, seven, and two. They were painting the roses and Alice asked why. They told her that they must’ve planted a white rose tree instead of a red one and if the queen would see their heads would be cut off. The queen of hearts came into the garden and came upon Alice and asked multiple times who she was. After Alice explained who she was the queen said “off with her head!” The queen asked Alice to play croquet with her, Alice asked where the duchess was. The rabbit told Alice to hush. They played croquet with flamingos and hedgehogs. Alice continued asking for the duchess and the queen said she was in prison.
To be Continued…..
I think a significant event was Alice coming upon the rabbit again because he knew all along Alice was in wonderland

So basically in this chapter Meursault is reminiscing about the days when he was not in jail and where he spent most of his time. But now he is getting use to his life in jail and his everyday routine. Marie also had came to visit him even though he didn’t really seem to care but she told him that she cannot wait for them to get married, but he agreed to her and kinda just blew it off.
A Doll’s House pages 37-44
Helmer tells Nora to carry on with what she ha been doing and to send Dr.Rank into his office when he gets there. Dr.Rank comes and Nora decides to talk to Dr.Rank beforehand. He tells Nora he does not have much time left and has gone bankrupt. Dr.Rank tells Nora that on his deathbed, Helmer is not allowed to visit him. He will send a black card with a white cross so they know his time is up. Nora tries to cheer him up but Dr.Rank has a secret to tell her. He tells Nora he is deeply in love with her and Nora is shocked. The maid comes in to tell Nora Krogstad is here to see her. She sends Dr.Rank to Helmer’s office and lets Krogstad in quietly. Krogstad tells Nora he has a letter for Helmer explaining everything that he must give him. Nora begs him to tear it up and that she will pay him but he tells her it is too late. He plans on giving Helmer the letter and working his way up to steal Helmer’s job with blackmail of the contract.
These pages have shown me how Krogstad is the antagonist in this play. He first threatened Nora and is now planning on blackmailing Helmer into keeping his position at the bank. He knows this information will tear their family apart but he does not care.
