There was once this man, he was kind of crazy or maybe you
could call him mad. He loves his hats but actually they are not his hats at
all. He just makes them and keeps them to eventually sell. He is known as the
Hatter but many call him the Mad Hatter. I do not think you should label anyone
for their craziness so I will call him the Hatter. If you did not know, when
Alice went to see the Hatter, he and his companions were stuck at tea. They had
been having their tea party for many days but could not seem to stop. Alice
asked him why and he mentioned that he had upset Time. He was good friends with
Time but when the Hatter had to sing for the Queen she accused him of killing
time and now the poor Hatter is stuck at 6 o’clock. Too bad Alice never got to
see the Hatter and Time interact. They were the best of friends. They spent
almost all hours of the day together. One day the Hatter had to make hundreds
of hats for the people of Wonderland so that they could attend the Queen’s hat party.
If he did not finish the hats the queen would surely take off his head. He was
freaking out and rambling about why is a raven like a writing desk. Time came
to him and told the Hatter to calm down and tell him why he was acting mad. The
Hatter told him about all the hats he had to make and that there was just not
enough time to get all the hats made. Time chuckled at the Hatter. This
confused the Hatter and caused him to go crazier. All of the sudden all time
seemed to stop around the Hatter. The Hatter even thought he had gone crazy. He
looked at time and asked him what he had done. Time told him he paused the time
at 9:00 am so that he would be able to make all of the hats. The Hatter thanked
Time over and over and promised to repay him however Time wanted. Time told the
Hatter that e could repay him by never messing up time and if he did he would
stick the Hatter at tea time for many months. The Hatter agreed to those terms
and also added in a hat for Time that had clocks all over. Since the Hatter was
killing time at the queen’s concert, he is now stuck at tea time until Time
feels like releasing him.
Author's Note: This story is from the Alice in Wonderland unit. I thought this would be a great unit to read since I went as the Mad Hatter for Halloween as you can see in the picture. This story comes from the Mad Tea Party stories. The Hatter tells about how he and time used to be good friends until he was killing time while singing at the concert. I took that and added all the back story to their friendship.

Hi, Colton! First I have to say that your costume is amazing! The Tim Burton version of the Mad Hatter is one of my all time favorite characters! But back to your story, I love the background you give about Time and the Hatter once being friends. That makes sense, then, why Time would punish the Hatter when he is accused of "murdering Time", especially after the way Time helped the Hatter when he was in need!
ReplyDeleteHey there, looks like we’ll just keep coming back to each other’s blogs, huh? This is what, the third time?
ReplyDeleteAnyway, you story was highly effective. I’m assuming with the stream of consciousness vibe you got going on you were attempting to make it as crazy as the Hatter. You certainly succeeded. It’s very jumbled, all over the place, and confusing. Good job with getting into the head of the Hatter.
