On the first study sheet, it asks who the speaker in "The Jabberwock" is. The book says that the speaker is the Jabberwock. This is not true. The speaker is a third party that is relaying the story in a sort oral tradition version of retelling of a hero's tale. It is a nonsense poem that mocks the traditional hero's tale. Sorry for any confusion!!!!
