In the movie the Wizard of Oz, based on the book written by L. Frank Baum, the conflict can be labeled as person vs. self. Dorothy, who can be viewed as both the protagonist and antagonist, spends the entire movie swirling around in her own head, unsure what to do, while the entire time she has the power to get back to where she belongs.When Dorothy is the protagonist, she’s fully in Oz, trying to solve her problem and go back to Kansas. However, she antagonizes herself by overlooking the power she

In the Wonderful Wizard of Oz, color is very important throughout the story, it gives good imagery for the story. Imagery gives the reader a sense of vision. Imagery is good when it comes to making a story, for example it gives the reader a sense of what the character is like. For Example, when the Author, L. Frank Baum, detailed the Glinda, the Good witch's clothes she was detailed with bright colors and that gives the reader a picture of what she is like without even saying she is good. Color is

So much so, that they take her to see a doctor at a psychiatric institution. A mysterious girl comes to her rescue and somehow she ends up back in the land of Oz, for another adventure.

Have you ever wished you could travel to another land like Oz and go on a magical adventure? Well I know for after seeing the Wiz with Diana Ross and Michael Jackson, I sure wanted did. I finally got my wish of traveling to Oz by being in a production of the Wiz in elementary school. Ever since then I have been going to see as many productions of the musical because it is my favorite so why not choose this as one of my third shows to see for class. Wrong!!! To my hearts dismay, I should have relived

Intertextuality is the relationship between texts. You see this when an author gets inspiration from other authors work to put in his own. One example of this is the 1900 novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum and the 1995 novel Wicked by Gregory Maguire. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz goes over the adventures of a young Dorothy Gale after being swept away in a cyclone that tore open her house in Kansas. The Good Witch of the North tells Dorothy the only thing she can do is go to the Emerald

In the novel the wizard of Oz author L. frank Baum goes to extreme lengths to explain and paint a visual image of every color from every scene in the book. From Dorothy’s blue and white dress to explain the shining green city of Oz and how it blinds you nothing in the book is left without color and detailed descriptions. This sort of description is done not only to provide the reader with a visual image to match the description of the character. It is also being used as a sort of symbolism for each

Classic works of art, such as the Mona Lisa or Hamlet, have maintained their status and popularity around the world for hundreds of years, regardless of the culture or time they were portrayed in. Like these incredible works of art, Frank Baum’s The Wizard of Oz continues to hold truth and relevance to individuals’ lives today. Its historical background, creative storyline, and unique themes make this one of the most watched films of all time. The Wizard of Oz is a very valuable treasure in society

The novel The Wizard of Oz, is portrayed very differently in the movie. One big difference for me, was that the movie omits the backstories of the major characters. As the viewer you don't know why the Tin Man wants a heart, why the Scarecrow wants a brain, or why the Lion wants courage so badly. But, in the novel, it gives you all this information on these major characters. This contributes to the understanding of the text differently, because if the person who is watching the movie has never read

In the Wizard of Oz color plays a role in the novel through different characters, scenes and scenery. My opinion of the novel, color is used as a guidance throughout the story to reach the Wizard of Oz. The first main idea of the story is Dorothy stepping out from her black and white world into the explosive world of colors. The second main idea is the colors red and green representing different ideas of the story. The third main idea is Dorothy's ruby red slippers having a power only Dorothy could
