It'll be no use their putting their heads down and saying "Come up again, dear!"I shall only look up and say "Who am I then? Tell me that first, and then,if I like being that person, I'll come up: if not, I'll stay down heretill I'm somebody else"--but, oh dear!' cried Alice, with a sudden burstof tears, 'I do wish they WOULD put their heads down! I am so VERY tiredof being all alone here!

"It'll be no use their putting their heads down and saying 'Come up again, dear!' I shall only look up and say 'Who am I then? Tell me that first, and then, if I like being that person, I'll come up: if not, I'll stay down heretill I'm somebody else.'"

Alice expresses her frustration and exhaustion at feeling lonely and unsure of her identity. She wishes the others would acknowledge her feelings and help her find herself, highlighting her desire to understand who she truly is before rejoining the others in their game or activity.
