The Dodo is one of the many animals that washes up from the Pool of Tears in Chapter Three. In order to get dry, it proposes that everyone run a Caucus Race where the participants run in patterns of any shape, starting and leaving off whenever they like, so that everyone wins. At the end of the race, Alice distributes comfits from her pocket to all as prizes. However this leaves no prize for herself. The Dodo inquires what else she has in her pocket. As she has only a thimble, the Dodo requests it from her and then awards it to Alice as her prize.
The Caucus Race as depicted by Carroll is a satire on the political caucus system, mocking its lack of clarity and decisiveness.
My own Words.
Alice meets the dodo, meets more talking animals and how strange wonderland is, it helps the story because alice realises she is in a different world. She much lighter then the other charecters suggersting incent, while the other charecters are darker, suggesting not as innocent, the charecters in the background faded suggesting less important.
