Dorothy's The Wonderful Wizard Of Oz

The Wizard of Oz is a classic known by all. The plot is fairly simple. Poor bored Dorothy is sick of her normal boring life on her Aunt and Uncles farm in Kansas and decides to run away to a more exciting life. Her plans are changed when she meets a fortune teller who convinces her to go back home. Unfortunately, as she is headed back home a horrible storm starts and she and her dog Toto are blown away, along with her house. When she lands, she comes outside to see that she has landed on a person with red shoes. She is met by tiny people and a witch called Glinda who tells her that she has landed on and killed the Wicked Witch of the East. Dorothy tells Glinda she wants to go home, and Glinda tells her if she follows the yellow brick road she will end up in the Emerald City where the Wonderful Wizard of Oz can help get her home.

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is the story of a girl named Dorothy who is taken away from her home in Kansas with her dog Toto to the magical land called Oz. There she becomes friends with a Scarecrow that doesn't have a brain, a cowardly Lion with no courage, and a Tin Man that doesn’t have a heart and the three make their way along the Yellow Brick Road to

Furthermore, gender roles comes into effect when the two witches use their power throughout the film, and are the only ones to do so. Glinda the Good Witch is the one who can be seen to be the mentor of Dorothy as she influences and guides her to overcome the Wicked Witch of the West. Again, the mentor is usually a male but it is obviously different in this film. Furthermore, Glinda also uses her powers to help fend of the Wicked Witch as she tries to take the ruby slippers from Dorothy. Glinda uses her power to make the Wicked Witch feel small as she says, "You have no power here! Begone, before somebody drops a house on you, too!" This leads to

Just a mention of The Wizard of Oz acts as a rubber-band on my heart snapping me back to twinkles of emerald green and ruby red. At a young age, this movie had always been my favorite. Dorothy, a farm-girl who escapes her abnormally gray town, Kansas, is guided by the amiable Professor Marvel back home just in time for her to take a tornado ride to a colorful, magical land of buoyant little people. The good witch, Glinda, appears and advises her to make her way to the Emerald City, where the mysterious Wizard of Oz can send her back home. The Yellow Brick Road leads her on an unforgettable journey where she meets The Scarecrow, in search of a brain, the Tin Man, in need of a heart, a Lion looking for a little courage, and The Wicked Witch of the West who seeks to ruin their plans. All I ever paid any mind to when I was younger was the happy ending. Each character got what they were searching for, the Wicked Witch was killed, and Dorothy was able to click her heels and return home. The Wizard of Oz is a story of four characters searching for their heart’s desires, which they eventually find within themselves. Perhaps at first glance, The Wizard of Oz can be perceived as a children’s story. However, with profound thought the message touches on some ubiquitous themes such as deception and the flaw of human nature.

In The Wizard of Oz, the ordinary world and the beginning of the adventure are presented with stunning visual effects. Dorothy, the protagonist, is shown struggling in her ordinary world. She is confronted by the mean neighbor Miss Gulch who wants to take away Dorothy’s dog Toto and give him to the animal control authorities because of Toto’s bad behavior. Dorothy reacts childishly with a temper tantrum, begging her Uncle Henry and Aunt Em not to let Miss Gulch have her way. She confronts Miss Gulch when she tries to take Toto, saying, “You wicked old witch! Uncle Henry, Auntie Em, don't let 'em take Toto! Don't let her take him -- please!” (The Wizard of Oz). In a fit of temper, Dorothy decides to run away because she thinks that it is the only way she can protect her dog from Miss Gulch. The plot picks up the story of Dorothy’s life at a rather bleak point. Dorothy is portrayed as powerless and directionless and she does not appreciate the gifts she has in her family and life. Her character flaws and areas of growth are clear from such behavior. She seeks to be the leader of her own life but she lets temper get in the way of her enacting effective change. Furthermore, in her decision to run away Dorothy shows that she does not appreciate those who love her or the blessings of her loving home.

The Wizard of Oz does not give the Dorothy, the Tin Man, Scarecrow or the Cowardly Lion what they are seeking. He said he would grant their requests, but they must prove themselves by performing a small task; they must bring him the broom stick of the wicked witch of the west. The Wizard of Oz takes on the personality of a shapeshifter, because he changes the direction of Dorothy’s journey by sending them on another journey.

While she was following the yellow brick road she met up with the tin woodsman, scarecrow, and the cowardly lion and they all became great friends. They all traveled together because they were all trying to find the Wonderful Wizard of Oz. During their trip they did run into some minor complications and the main conflict was introduced when the wicked witch tried everything to stop them from getting to the Emerald City. But then one day they finally made it to the wizard and they told the wizard what they wished for and the wizard said that he couldn’t grant any wished until you get the broom of the wicked witch of the West. Finally, they achieved the Wizards wish, so they got there’s. The most exciting part of the story was when they found the Emerald City and when they each had there wish come true. So when Dorothy gets to go home, Tin man gets his heart, lion gets his courage, and last but not least the scarecrow gets a brain is when the outcome of the plot comes into place. The ending of the story was very happy because everyone got what he or she wished for.

The Good Witch was white and so were the Wizards. The Munchkins thought Dorothy was a witch because of her clothes. The Munchkins started her on her journey down the “Yellow Brick Road” to Oz. She meet the Scare Crow who still carries the blue from the Munchkins, but they leave the borders of the Munchkins the color begins to blend and the brightness and landscape become rough and dark as they to get near the forest. The Tin Man is the next character which helps get through the dark forest that dangerous. In the forest they meet the Cowardly Lion that will prove to a help in crossing the rough

Dorothy lived with her hardworking but dour Uncle Henry and Aunt Em on the bleak Kansas prairie.She has a dog named Toto. One day, the cyclone swept their house, she along with Toto. She fell asleep and later on wake up and found themselves on the other place. Munchkins met them and the elderly but beautiful Witch of the North. Their house landed on the Wicked Witch of the East and killed her. She then given a silver slipper by the witch and told them that they could go back home if they ask to the powerful wizard of Oz who lived in the Emerald City.

It’s plot begins before and continues after Dorothy’s arrival in Oz from Kanas, and it includes several character references to the 1939 film and Baum’s novel. Wicked tells the narration of two unlikely friends, Elphaba (the Wicked Crone of the West) and Galinda (whose name later changes to Glinda the Good Witch), who battle through opposing personalities and points of view,

Gale can be a metaphor for a strong wind, which is also the last name of Dorothy, from “The Wizard of Oz”. There are many ways that Gales influence the story. The first way this was shown, was at the beginning of the story. Dorothy wants to make sure that Toto is not put to sleep, but her family blows her off course, and inadvertently sent her to the land of Oz (The Wizard of Oz, Victor Fleming). This shows how Gales influence the story, because the Gale family sent Dorothy in the wrong direction. Another ways Gales influence the story, was when Dorothy was sent to the Land of Oz. After being sent back to her home by Professor Marvel, Dorothy sees that a tornado is very close to her home, she runs inside, and wakes up in the land of Oz (Cite).

When the Munchkins realized she wasn’t dead, they immediately called Glinda, the Good Witch of the East, to take her to the hospital. At the hospital the Wicked Witch of the East was nursed back to health. Meanwhile, the Munchkins knew she would get better soon so they went to the Wizard of Oz and was sent to Dorthy for a hiding place.

In The Wizard of Oz, the protagonist’s, Dorothy’s,

The Wizard of Oz is a visionary classic, weather it be the book or the movie. The conflict can be a plethora of different things but the most important the major conflict is person vs. self. This conflict and deep meaning is what makes it a classic. It’s a battle between dorothy and herself, she has to find out where she belongs and where her home really is. The first example of this is the song over the rainbow, not only is it a major song in the movie that holds lots of symbolism but it also is the first major introduction of the conflict.

Wizard of Oz is a fantasy and at the same time adventurous story of a girl named Dorothy. It is fantasy because it shows the image of a scarecrow who wishes to have a brain which in reality doesn't exist. A Tin Woodman who wants to have a heart and the irony of the Lion who wishes to have courage. It also shows magic such as the wicked witch, good witch and the other characters who was portrayed in the story.
