gale can be defined as a strong wind, possibly blowing a vessel or person off course. In the “Wizard of Oz”, Dorothy Gale is the main character, the protagonist. Throughout the moving picture, Dorothy is repeatedly distracted during her quest, trailing off of the yellow brick road. Dorothy Gale inevitably blows off course, distracted by wants, friends, and misdemeanor. Soon after Dorothy meets The Scarecrow, she spots apples off to the side of the yellow brick road. Without a second thought, she

that there is no place like home. The movie script states, “And I'm not going to leave here ever, ever again, because I love you all! And- Oh, Auntie Em- there's no place like home!” This is one part of “it”. Dorothy has learned that Kansas is her home and that she loves her family. Dorothy says “there’s no place like home,” and that was part of the “it” that she had to learn in order to go home. She needed to know there was no place like home before she could really go home.

its color scheme alone. I felt bad for the tin man because all that makeup must of been hard to wear? I loved the color scheme that the wicked Witch of the West had. The dark green paint on her face and mole really captured the essence of evil. Dorothy really annoyed me in the movie. Her accent was just awful, and she spoke like a little

As Dorothy enters deeper into the world of Oz, we see the vibrant color of green in the trees and the shades of yellow and blue in the flowers (Fig. 3). One remarkable aspect of the Wizard of Oz has to be Dorothy’s red, sparkly shoes, the famous ruby slippers. They were originally scripted as being silver but half way through the production they decided to change it to red to take full advantage of the capabilities of Technicolor.

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. The land of Oz is described as a land filled

I believe that Charles Foster Kane could’ve been a good person, but ended going down the wrong path. He was given a large sum of money when he became an adult, but in return basically had his childhood stolen from him (Hughes). His mother wanted him to live the rich life instead of in a little town where she was living and to eventually inherit her recently found fortune (Hughes). When he was given this money, he let it take over his life and lost sense of how he should behave. Because of this, I

Dorothy from the film Wizard of Oz would be considered the hero of the film. She has the call to adventure, has a wise and helpful guide, and has to endure a road of trials. Which all prove she is a hero of some sorts. Dorothy has a calling to adventure, It may not seem like it but she’s prepared to do anything to save her dog, even go on a wicked adventure. When the neighbor lady wanted to take Toto away Dorothy was not having it. She’d rather leave, but that's when a tornado hits and she tries

a very good movie. She drew me in to find out more about entertainment and how movie stars were in her time. If you think back to Hollywood’s Golden Age of the 1930’s, Judy Garland would be the first to come to mind. Whether it is for her role of Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz, or her tragic death that was a shock to the nation, Judy was known as the “greatest hollywood great”. Judy Garland had a hard life as she aged, but as far as her early life goes, she grew up in the world of theatre. She was exposed

Scarecrow before meeting and after meeting Dorothy is quite large. Upon meeting Dorothy, the Scarecrow agrees to continue with Dorothy to Emerald City where he hopes the wizard would grant him a brain. The impact Dorothy has on the Scarecrow instantly is enough to motivate him to step outside his comfort zone and seek a new future. Notwithstanding, Dorothy also is able to influence the Tin Man she meets along the way to seek a new commodity. When Dorothy and the Scarecrow stumble upon the rusted Tin

Little House in the Big Woods by Laura Ingalls Wilder is a historical fiction book because although much of what the author writes about are memories of her childhood while growing up in the Big Woods of Wisconsin some of the stories and characters were added or embellished. This story tells of Laura Ingalls and her family and how life was for them in the Big Woods in the early 1870s. Survival was not always easy for them but life was rewarding.
