One similarity between the two conflicts is, in both stories, to start the conflict off, the main characters are taken from their homes and families to the antagonist. In Maximum Ride, all members of the flock are taken as babies to the school where they are experimented on and turned into the human bird hybrids. Similarly, in Witch and Wizard, Whit and Wisty are taken from their home and mom and dad in the night to the One who Judges, who says they are guilty of being a witch and wizard and are sentenced to death. Another similarity is that in both stories, the main characters get captured by the enemy, but end up escaping.

Satire has been a part of literature as long as there has been chaos in the world. Two of the most famous satire pieces are The Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum and A Modest Proposal by Jonathan Swift. Both author’s lives can be directly tied to the theme of finding your way home in The Wizard of Oz. The Wizard of Oz begins with Dorothy accidentally finding herself in the magical land of Oz after a tornado blows her away. She immediately wants to leave and return to her home in Kansas.

There are a lot of similarities and differences between ''Winnie Finn, Worm Farmer'' and ''Butterfly House''. The main characters are both doing the same sort of thing. Yet they are doing it differently.

Did you ever wonder how it would feel to be invaded? Or what aliens are like, maybe even how would life be if they came to Earth? H.G. Wells from The War of the Worlds and Ray Bradbury of “Zero Hour” explore how these unusual appearances of these creatures changed everything about these two characters lives.

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, tells a story about a young Kansas girl named Dorothy who is suddenly whisked away by a strong and powerful cyclone to an unknown land called Oz. She is met with conflict and peril as she travels through the land of Oz to finally meet the Wizard in the Emerald City. Along her journey, Dorothy meets four new friends, who assist her to find the Wizard. Though, she is accompanied her friends, she remains the main character. Because Dorothy is the main character, she influenced the feminist movement.

The setting is a good example of both similarities and differences. For instance, the setting helped shape the story and form the plot. In Contents, the main character (Tom) opens the window in his apartment on a breezy night. “…caught in the dying current flowing through the narrow opening.” (pg 20). An important paper gets blown out the window, and eleven stories up, the story begins. During The Leap, the narrator explains that out west, you could see any in-coming weather because the land was so flat. “I have lived in the west, where you can see the weather coming for miles…” (pg 39). The decision was made to try and finish the circus before the weather, but Anna and Harold (Anna’s

Dorothy and Alice go through moments of ease and moments of hardships as they navigate their way through these unimaginable lands. The young girls are transported far away and use what they know in order to survive as they go through various emotions throughout their journey. For instance, upon Dorothy’s arrival in the land of Oz she immediately notices the beauty of this unfamiliar land, which was far different from her gray and gloomy home in Kansas.

Banks of gorgeous flowers… and birds with rare and brilliant plumage sang and fluttered in the trees and bushes” (Baum 7). Despite all the beauty surrounding Dorothy nothing

The three areas of comparison for these two musicals are the how they came to be, the characters, and the plot. The musical, Wizard of Oz, is based off the book The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum written in 1900. It’s about a girl, Dorothy, who is tired of living

The book and the movie are not as similar as they seem. For example, Oz is a real place in the novel while, in the film, it is imaginary; this is significant because the authenticity of Oz affects the readers’ perception of the plot. Another difference between the book and the movie is the dynamic change of Dorothy’s character as both stories progress. In the movie, Dorothy wants to see the world beyond Kansas but regretted it once she got the chance and immediately wished to return to home. In the book, Dorothy is taken to Oz involuntarily but eventually begins enjoying her exploration of the unfamiliar land.

The novel starts out in the country plains of Kansas. Kansas is said to be grey and gloomy as Dorothy portrays it to be. They were on a farm with a small house that the rooms, kitchen, and even bathroom were all open in one room. Then as the cyclone hit the house the setting shifts to The Land of Oz. Oz is a magical and wonderful land full over imagination and creativity.

While there are many themes that L. Frank Baum writes about in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz that focuses on a young, maturing girl named Dorothy Gale; that is living in a grey world and then suddenly her life is full of color after a cyclone. Throughout the story, Dorothy Gale is reminded that the land of Oz is beautiful and much more interesting that Kansas ever will and it takes her awhile to realize it along her adventurous plan. The two themes that stand out throughout the story is the childhood to maturity that Dorothy progresses in and a twisted way that makes you see the virtue in the story, also known as the disability of it all. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is not all just a children's fairytale. Although the land of Oz is depicted as

Frank Baum that has help to transport children’s imagination form the real world to the imaginary world . In The Wizard of OZ, Dorothy has been portrayed as a character who needs to find her true self and from her experiences throughout the novel she does. L. Frank Baum has started Dorothy’s adventure into the imaginary world by a freak cyclone that has swept across her aunt’s farm, but with Dorothy’s dog Toto stuck inside the house, she goes back to get him and that’s when her imagination starts to expand and she is then transported to the land of Oz. Dorothy soon realises that she is not on her aunt’s farm and starts to find a way back. She meets different characters along the way who help her to get home, L. Frank Baum has portrayed each character with a different personality trait to show Dorothy that everyone is different and that people don’t all think and act the same, her imagination has allowed her to experience these three different personality traits that have helped her to find her way home. At the end of the novel Dorothy finds Glinda the good witch and she help’s Dorothy to get back to the farm. “The red shoes have wonderful powers … they can carry you to any place in the world in three steps” instead of the object that transports the child’s imagination to a different world being at the start of the book
