Wizard Of OZ

Dorothy and her friends finally got to Emerald City. They finally got to see the Wiz and he told them that he would not grant any of their wishes unless she killed the wicked witch of the West. Dorothy and all of her friends were really disappointed. Eventually, Dorothy and her friends went to see the wicked witch of the West and the witch was very mean to them. The witch really wanted Dorothy’s slippers but she refused to give them to her. Dorothy is starting to get discouraged because the witch seemed to be more powerful than she was.

Suddenly she found herself surrounded by a huge forest. There was snow all around so it was very cold, so Lucy put on one of the conveniently placed fur coats and went to explore the wood. She did not walk far when she saw a light walking closer she discovered it was a lamppost. It was here buy this lamppost Lucy met the talking fawn named Mr. Tomnas. The fawn invited Lucy to tea and almost turned her over to a woman called the white witch, but Mr. Tomnas ended up really liking Lucy so he couldn’t do it.

The main thing that occurred in the movie was death. Nineteen people were hung and a man was pressed to death. Rebecca and Mary were the two main characters who were accused and murdered. Rebecca was on of Sarah’s sister and was the first to be accused of being a witch. A year after Rebecca death they realized Rebecca was not guilty at all so they cleared her name by pronouncing that her soul was set free.

I think the second theme is the importance of the journey. The importance of the journey can be symbolized by the yellow brick road. Throughout the novel Dorothy travels along the yellow brick road on her journey to get home to Kansas. Similar to real life she meets new people, makes new friends and has new experiences. Life is full of issues just as the yellow brick road was full of unexpected obstacles. there were holes, dark forests and dangerous rivers. Encountaring experiences both difficult and enriching are the substance of learning about yourself and you relation to others. Dorothy’s escape from the Wicked Witch Dorothy motivates her to keep on with her attempt to get home. Dorothy had to overcome these obstacles just as we have to overcome obstacles that happened to us as we journey through life.

As the Tin Woodsman and Dorothy are on their journey, they encounter another symbolized character in the novel. This

The whole thing was a lie and it was very inhumane(The Salem Witch Trials). The girls all wanted supernatural things, so the girls met a woman named Tituba,who was a servant of Putnam,they then went into the forest to cast spells(The Salem Witch Trials). Paris caught the girls dancing in the forest and committing the crime of witchcraft(The Salem Witch Trials).The girls would then lie to everyone making them think that they were being controlled by other people performing witchcraft(The Salem Witch Trials).

We should all be familiar with the story of The Wizard of Oz. The protagonist, Dorothy, is swept into the magical land of Oz by a tornado, where she meets Glinda the Good Witch, who gives her the ruby slippers of the Wicked Witch of

the devil and where now witches, they freaked out and thought the worst that’s Salem was going

The common theme I will be exploring is “Good vs. Evil”. The theme is expressed in The Wizard of Oz” throughout the movie through the use of the antagonist, the Wicked Witch of the West pursuing the main character, Dorothy, for the shoes she wears (Fleming & LeRoy, 1939). The Wicked Witch wants the shoes for herself because they hold great power, but also because they belonged to her sister, The Wicked Witch of the East (Fleming & LeRoy, 1939). However, Glinda The Good Witch of the North, gifts them to Dorothy after she traveled to Oz, in her house and through a cyclone (Fleming & LeRoy, 1939). The house landed on the Wicked Witch of the East and

Despite what she may think, Dorothy is never in any real danger during her adventure. Though harm befalls her companions, she herself is never targeted. Dorothy, with the kiss from the northern witch, and the silver shoes is frightening to her adversaries. The winged monkeys flee upon seeing her, the Wicked Witch of the West becomes very nervous just being around her, even Oz is frightened after she manages to return from Winkie land. There are only two characters in the book from the United States, Dorothy who conquers all in her westward journey, and Oz who fools everyone into thinking he is a powerful wizard. In the real world these two characters are normal people, a young farm girl, and a man who works in a circus. The fact that these two regular Americans can go into the foreign land of Oz and gain power easily, is a testament to the power of America on the world

The scarecrow symbolizes the mindless people during the depression. As a result, the time era of the depression was the era of lots of chaos and people acting without a brain. After the encounter they set off and they met up with the tin man. Who just wanted a heart to live and love like any other man. The Tin man symbolized the heartless and careless people around the time of the depression.

One night there was a bad storm and Dorothy was home alone with her cat JoJo. The storm turned into a tornado that took her back to Oz, but Oz was not like her mother told her about, it was dark and gloomy. Oz had been ruined by the wicked witch.
