Dick? How about the Cheshire Cat? Maybe Zach? The Queen of Hearts? Kail? Off with their heads! That could also be Joe. He's trying to get rid of Dustin already. I definitely think that Jameka is Alice. .

I was at Barnes and Noble the other day and saw the book. I think I need to read it again before I can say who is who. Great thread Gemma!

I want to make Jen either the flamingo croquet mallet or the hedgehog ball. Maybe I can use Jessica as the ball. Either way I want them both smacked for my entertainment!

I think the Queen of Hearts is Joe although Kail thinks it's she. I think the Cheshire Cat is Nick. I think the Mad Hatter is Eric. And yeah, I need to reread the entire book again. Sheesh, it's been way too long!

Yeah, as soon as I read this thread I thought of Eric as the Mad Hatter. Tweelde Dee and Tweedle Dumb--now that's an interesting question. I would say Joe as Tweedle Dee and Jen (or Mike) as Tweedle Dumb.

I'd say Zach and Mike are Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum (only from what I've seen of them and their Mrs Robinson pact).

Jen is both TweedleDee and TweedleDum (or at least, that's what I heard she's named them)

Based on what I read here and what I remember of the book: the white rabbit would be Eric. The mad hatter is Joe. Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum are Carol and Amber. Danielle is Alice, because she's clueless to a lot going on. Kail is the Queen of Hearts. Dick is the caterpillar. Jen is the Cheshire Cat. IMO

Twigs, I like your the best! Particular the part about Eric being the White Rabbit! But Zack for the Cheshire Cat. Jen needs to be dubbed something inconsequential.

I think I was thinking of the flamingo whatever the bird was that the queen used. In the movie the dodo was the bird that the Rabbit asked for help in getting big Alice out of his house. The book I don't remember it's been years since I read it and I know there were a lot of changes in it from the book to the movie.

The Dodo tried to help the white rabbit get Alice out of his house. In the end, he tries to burn the house down. I think flamingoes were used as the croquet mallets. LOL! saved by the edit button!

Thanks Darrel and Typingfool! Then not the Dodo. Jen would be the flamingo turned croquet mallet! She is nothing but what the Queen wants to use her for! Or, whom were the ones when Queen wanted to "Off with their heads!"?

Alice.... Daniele (always annoyed at the characters) White Rabbit... Eric..... I'm Late so very late, must talk faster Cheshire Cat....Zack, Always fake smiling and in the end brings on the discussion of beheading The March Hare.... Nick, an interesting character that everyone has a different opinion about. Tweedledee and Tweedledum... Joe and Dustin.... Both putting on contradictory shows, and really goofy and not really important to the story line...in fact they are only in the Alice sequels and not in the original Lewis Carroll story. The Dodo... Jen, a character that wants attention, but no one gives it to her Mad Hatter..... Dick, appears scary and crazy but is actually looked upon as stable and is often asked his advice especial about Alice The Duchess.... Jameka, treats Alice with friendliness and respect. The Dormouse... Jessica, just sits on kitchen stools and watches everyone Queen of Hearts..... Kail, Off with their heads! The Knave of Hearts... Mike. He is the labor worker for the Queen, does the Queens bidding. The Cook (aka Pepper lady) Amber, because she causes havoc spreading pepper everywhere and looks disheveled and is always in tears. The Caterpillar.... Joe... Sits and smokes and always talks about height as he watches down on everyone causing havoc to anyone close to him. The mock Turtle.... Carol, soup brewed from English etiquette. The Jury Cards.... everyone that enters sequester, switch to becoming just another number in the deck of cards. The executioner... Big Brother

Great, Lucy. You reminded me of the pepper lady! Every one of them is quite fitting, except you had Joe on twice. Maybe Dick could be both the Mad Hatter & the Caterpillar. They don't show up together, do they?

Yeah I guess I did Joe twice....but imo, he fits them both I see the "story time" Joe more the Caterpillar and then he turns in tweedledum when he and Dustin are putting on their show.

Really great Juicy! I was trying to think who could be the Duchess, who at first seemed very scary to me when I was a child, but then turned out to be very kind. The cook with her pepper, She always bothered me, but then sometimes I think we are all like her in the kitchen. Especially when nothing is going right. I guess that Zack could be the Duchess' baby (Speak roughly to your little boy and beat him when he sneezes!) Have you heard Zack sneeze!? In the story the baby turns into a pig. Well, it's time to get ready for work. This cook has a couple of hundred loaves of bread to make before 10:00 this morning! All hand shaped!

Great synopsis, Lucy. Dick calls himself the Cheshire Cat and I'm thinking Eric is the Mad Hatter.
