Question must be answered based on the following text.



In this passage from Alice’s Adventure in Wonderland, by Lewis Carrol, Alice meets the Cheshire Cat and asks for directions.



"Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?" Alice asked.


"That depends a good deal on where you want to get to”, said the Cat.


"I don’t much care where—" said Alice.

Question must be answered based on the following text.


Read the lines of Bon Jovi’s Misunderstood.


Should I… could I have said the wrong things right a thousand times?

If I could just rewind, I see it in my mind

If I could turn back time, you’d still be mine


You cried, I died

I should have shut my mouth, things headed south

As the words slipped off my tongue, they sounded dumb

If this old heart could talk, it’d say you’re the one

I’m wasting time

When I think about it


I should have drove all night

Would have run all the lights, I was misunderstood

I stumbled like my words

Did the best I could, damn

Misunderstood


Could I… should I apologize for sleeping on the couch that night?

Staying out too late with all my friends

You found me passed out in the yard again


You cried, I tried

To stretch the truth, but didn’t lie

It’s not so bad

You think about it
