"But I don;t want to go among mad people," Alice remarked. "Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "We're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."-Lewis Carroll
This quote is from a famous book im sure all of you know. Lewis Carrol might just have been writing a book but to me he said a statement; there are many ways i can tie this in with bullying. One is that when Alice said " But I don't want to go among mad people," its almost everyones reaction when they get paired with someone they don't know, like or have heard bad things about. That is a form of bullying; you may not know it but when you leave someone out of a group or act like you don't even want to touch them with a ten foot pole, but that is a form of bullying. You are making that person feel bad about themselves like they aren't good enough for you to even work with them. Second, when that Cat says " Oh you can't help that we're all mad here. I'm mad and you're mad," to me the Cat is saying that no matter how much you don't like that person or what you hear you know that there is that same goodness in you as there is in that person that your working with. So next time you go to sit by your friends think of all the new friends you can make by not always sitting with them.
Paraphase: Even though people may seem a way at first if you really get the time to know someone than they will look diffrent all beacuse you see them in a diffrent light.
