While in Wonderland, Alice rejects making logical decisions, and chooses decisions based on emotion. Because Alice is immature and innocent she is curious and continually, puts emotion into her logic more than thinking logically. In the novel Alice questions who, and what kind of person she is. .
Alice is a young girl trying to figure out how the world works, and who she wants to be later in life, which follows her to the question, who she is as an adult. "Who in the world am I?" Alice asks this question of herself in Chapter 2 of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, just after she has grown to a giant size and frightened the White Rabbit away. Alice realizes that she is not just trying to figure out Wonderland, but also attempting to determine who she is and what constitutes her identity in a world that actively challenges her perspective and sense of self. Most children of innocence ask themselves coming into indolent years, who they are, and what are they good at, and where do they see themselves in the future. "She pictured to herself how this same little sister of hers would, in the after‑time, be herself a grown woman; and how she would keep, through all her riper years, the simple and loving heart of her childhood". In this quote, the author explains how Alice feels about growing up. The word "riper" means fully developed; mature. She is hoping that when she gets older she would still have her optimism, and willingness to explore new things. This further explains how Alice feels about growing up and who she is, and who she wants to be. "Alice laughed. 'There's no use trying,' she said. 'One can't believe impossible things.'" Alice said this in remark; being an adult. Children often think that anything is possible. Adults on the other hand believe otherwise, adults are aware of the "real world" and how hard life is. This quote shows how Alice is growing up to be more mature than she once was.
