What is Grace Slick transmitting in this performance–and how does it relate to the situation of Alice? Analyze the lyrics of the song, the form of the song, elements of her phrasing and singing style, or her performance and attire, and anything else that is relevant.It is also relevant to juxtapose the Disney cartoon of “Alice” from 1951 or Lewis Carrol’s story. In the story, Alice follows a white rabbit down a hole–hence the title of the song. A good essay will say something surprising, deep and illuminating about these clips, rather than repeating generic stuff from class discussion. EXAMINE DETAILS and READ THEM AS METAPHORS OR IN LIGHT OF HISTORICAL CONTEXT.

Lyrics:
One pill makes you larger, and one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you, don’t do anything at all
Go ask Alice, when she’s ten feet tall
And if you go chasing rabbits, and you know you’re going to fall
Tell ’em a hookah-smoking caterpillar has given you the call
And call Alice, when she was just small
When the men on the chessboard get up and tell you where to go
And you’ve just had some kind of mushroom, and your mind is moving low
Go ask Alice, I think she’ll know
When logic and proportion have fallen sloppy dead
And the white knight is talking backwards
And the red queen’s off with her head
Remember what the dormouse said
Feed your head, feed your head
Alice Meets The caterpillar – Alice In Wonderland (1951)
