Lewis Carroll's children's novel "Through the Looking Glass," tells the story of one young girl named Alice and her adventures. The story delves into the adventures of Alice after she fell into a looking glass and the numerous characters she encountered.
As given in the excerpt, Alice is playing chess with <em>"Kitty"</em>. Taking the game seriously, she even reprimanded the cat for smiling. She also described how the <em>"nasty Knight [. . .] came wiggling down among [her] pieces."</em> This description of the chess piece as coming alive <u>shows her active imagination.</u>
