Discussing the Text: Say why:

1. Alice couldn't get through the door into the beautiful garden.

This sentence implies that Alice faced an obstacle or was unable to access the garden, possibly due to physical limitations, a closed door, or a metaphorical barrier. The phrase "beautiful garden" suggests a desirable or perhaps magical place she was prevented from entering.

2. Alice began to cry.

Alice's crying indicates distress, sadness, or frustration. This reaction could be a result of being unable to enter the garden, or perhaps another disappointing or upsetting event has occurred.

3. Alice began to fan her face.

Fanning one's face often suggests feeling hot, flustered, or perhaps embarrassed. It could also be a gesture to cool down after exertion or emotional upset.

4. Alice thought that she was Ada.

This statement points to a moment of mistaken identity or delusion. Alice may have lost her sense of self, or she might be confused about who she is, believing herself to be someone named Ada. This could be a sign of distress or a fantastical element of the story.

5. she still couldn't get into the garden even after she grew small again.

This sentence highlights a persistent problem. Even after undergoing a change (shrinking), Alice still faced the same obstacle of not being able to enter the garden. This suggests that her size was not the only reason for her inability to enter, or that the problem is more complex.
