The Journey In Dorothy's 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.

(2) A place to go: Once arriving in Oz, Dorothy must go on a journey to find the Great and Powerful Wizard of Oz, so he can help her to return home to Kansas.

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 Wizard of Oz uses film form by using similarity and repetition. With Dorothy being the main character, she is always reappearing in the film. As well as all of the characters, The Tin Man, The Lion, and The Scarecrow, have similarities to Dorothy. Each of them need something, Dorothy needs to go back home, The Tin Man needs a brain, The Scarecrow needs a heart, and The Lion needs courage. The film also progresses from the beginning to the end, as well as the characters. Dorothy starts at one spot, follows the yellow brick road and eventually makes it to her destination to see The Wizard of Oz, gets what

Scene: This scene in the film comes just after the house has been picked up in the twister. Dorothy's house has been lifted up into the sky and suddenly dropped back down to earth in the middle of the Land of Oz. In the scene itself, Dorothy leaves her home to see that she is "Not in Kansas anymore," and finds the new and amazing world of the munchkin city in front of her. She also meets Gwendela the good witch as her journey in Oz begins.

Stories have deeper meaning than what they appear. Life events such as the government, economy, or something happening to an individual can inspire them to express themselves through writing. In the original story of “The Wizard of Oz”, it tells a tale far more than people realize. The story portrays the government during the time period and hidden symbolism within the story and characters.

Through the feministic values in this story and the classic heroic characteristics, Dorothy shows how a woman can be heroic. She shows her heroic characteristics by her kind heart, outspoken voice, and her unwavering and courageous strength.

In the movie, “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz”, written by L. Frank Baum, a little orphan girl named Dorothy is adopted by her Uncle Henry and her Aunt Em; They live on a family farm in Kansas. Uncle Henry and Aunt Em are stressed out because of how poorly the farm is doing, which is caused by the Dust Bowl. One day Dorothy and, her dog, Toto is walking home and she passes Miss Gulch’s, a rich neighbor, house who is outside doing some gardening. Toto runs into the garden chasing after Miss Gulch’s cat and also biting Miss Gulch. She hits Toto across the back with the rake sending Toto running away in fear. Dorothy and Toto make it back home where they find Uncle Henry and Aunt Em working on the farm. As Dorothy tries to explain what Miss Gulch has done she gets ignored and shooed off. Soon after she meets up with Uncle Henry as he is feeding the hogs to explain to him about the situation with Toto, but once again Dorothy gets ignored and she ends up slipping and falling into the hog pen causing commotion which leads to Aunt Em coming over to see what is going on. Dorothy gets in trouble and is told by Aunt Em that she needs to find a place where she won’t get in trouble. Miss Gulch approaches the farm with a letter staying that she is allowed to take Toto away from Dorothy to get him destroyed. This situation influences Dorothy to run away from the farm because she’s tired of being treated like she isn’t worth anything. As

So Dorothy runs away. This is an example of person versus self because Dorothy thinks there is a better place where there is no trouble, failing to realize that there isn’t a better place than home. Secondly, in the climax of both the movie and book, Dorothy, the lion, the tinman and scarecrow arrive in Emerald City, and see the Wizard of Oz but in order for Oz to grant their wishes they have to bring him the Wicked Witch of the West’s broom. This goes along with the conflict because Dorothy has to decide whether she’s going to risk her life to get the witch’s broom in order to return home or find another way home. Lastly, in the denouement, Glindia shows up after the hot air balloon leaves without Dorothy and helps Dorothy get home with the power of her ruby slippers. This example goes along with the conflict because Dorothy couldn’t realize there is no better place than home by herself and that's why she couldn’t go home because she had to realize it for herself in order for the power of the shoes to work. So since she couldn’t realize her she already had what she wanted it took longer for her to get

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.

In the movie: It tells the story of a girl named Dorothy, who ends up in a tornado and gets hurled away from her farm in Kansas to a land that is not like anything she has experienced before. After Dorothy’s house falls and kills the Wicked Witch in the first scene, Dorothy is welcomed by the Munchkins. The kind witch, Glinda, appears and explains to Dorothy that in order to find out about getting back home, she needs to follow the yellow brick road. This road leads her to Emerald city, where she must ask the grand Wizard to get her back to Kansas. Along her way down the yellow brick road Dorothy encounters some characters who all have something they want to ask the wizard. However, when they finally arrive at the Emerald City, they discover the wizard is just a fraud and that everything they had been searching for they can find deep within themselves (metaphorically rather than physically).

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.

“There’s no place like home, there’s no place like home, there’s no place like home”, repeated Dorothy. A young girl trying to go back home to Kansas after a cyclone lands her and her dog, Toto, in the Land of Oz. There Dorothy meets the Scarecrow, the TinMan, and the Cowardly Lion who are all in need of something that is considered important to them; a brain, a heart, and courage. Along the way, they have to travel to Emerald City to see the Wizard of Oz, directed by the Good Witch of the North, especially for Dorothy to get back home. However, Dorothy and the gang run into problems with the Wicked Witch of the West, who wants Dorothy’s ruby slippers (which was originally the Wicked

Plot Summary: In the book, Dorothy is first at her farm in Kansas, and then a cyclone carries her house, Toto, and herself into a strange land called Oz. There she meets the Good Witch of the North, and the munchkins, who explain to her that she landed on the Wicked Witch of the East, and now, to return to Kansas, she must journey to the Emerald City, to see the Wizard of Oz.

After that, the group finds out that in order for the Wizard to grant their wishes, they need to kill the Wicked Witch of the West.

As far as it comes to the virtue side of the story, we can begin with the Scarecrow. Despite the fact that the Scarecrow is missing a brain, he makes up for that with how much intelligence he shows and inventive that he demonstrates himself as well. Just as Thomason describes, "He usually comes up with plans that save the travelers, and he is quick to come up with solutions to problems."(1) in the overview of the story, he already has a brain without needing a physical organ. (1) It's easy to see why the Wizard of Oz left him in charge of Emerald city. The Tin Woodman was the next character that winds up with Dorothy and Scarecrow. The Tin Woodman was rescued from the rusting fate that was laid upon him in the forest, he was once a real man that was bewitched by the Wicked Witch of the East to lose all
