I'm Number 98 the teal and orange car

Last weekend I had a race at Irwindale Speedway and we had troubles all the way up to the race.  I qualified 10  out of 21 which is absolutely horrible compared to the normal top 3 or 4.  We finally fixed the car for the race, finding that caster was off 2 degrees, so i was much faster than the cars in front of me.  The problem with being that far back in the pack is that one is much more prone to crashing and since I was in the middle of points racing a crash would be catastrophic to my points lead. For those who don't know what points racing is basically don't do anything that will crash the car (aka don't be stupid). The whole race I forced myself to be patient as every wreck happened all around me. I was luckily able to come out unscathed. Now how does this apply to what we are learning in our English class?  In the story Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Alice quickly learns how frustrating the animals can be. They all seem to be super sensitive to everything Alice says whether it be the Rabbit, the Caterpillar, or even the Birds. This forces her to be patient in order to learn how to act in the suitably named Wonderland.  It will be interesting to see how Alice copes with future trials and events that take place in the book.
