Pre-Reading Wicked, & The Wonderful Wizard of Oz I never really liked The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. The lion, scarecrow, and tin man were all characters that kind of freaked me. I think this had to do with their costumes, the lions faces creeped me out. As of Wicked I now there is a musical, which I have not seen. Overall, I am kind of excited to read the book. While Reading Wicked So the book starts out with a prologue of the witch spying on the Lion, Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Dorothy. As the story

“There’s no place like home.” We all have our own variation of home. Whether it be your parents house, or your 50 year old aunt Barbara‘s house, nothing feels better than going home after being away.

Toto is Dorothy’s beloved dog who she takes everywhere. Scarecrow is the first friend she encounters along the way

The role gender holds in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is not one many were familiar with at the time it was written. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz reverses the accepted gender roles of its time, women taking control, even helping men in times of need.

This novel essentially questions and challenges the accepted beliefs on the roles of gender in the society at that time, showing how things would be if roles

Secular Humanism in The Wizard of Oz The Wizard of Oz is a classic movie that is known for its playfulness, Technicolor, and fairytale like storyline. However, when we take a deeper look at the meaning and message behind this movie, we will find that there is more to this story than initially meets the eye. I am going to argue that this movie promotes secular humanism. This is broader than atheism because it not only dismisses the existence of a superior being, but it also recognizes that humanity

The first scene starts right after Elphaba is killed and Glinda is having a flashback of how they became friends. The memory starts at Shiz, a wizard academy, where Glinda and Elphaba become roomates and unikely become friends. Then when Animals start loosing their voices, Elphaba and Glinda go on an adventure to plead for the Wizard to help in this nonsense, only to find that he's behind it all. He threatens to tell everyone

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

novel that helps the reader visualize and understand what the characters are going through from their mood to their appearance the role of color plays a huge part in the novel and symbolizes many things such as Dorothy's appearance the group meeting Glinda the good witch all of these clearly show how much color impacts the novel by giving the reader a better visualize throughout the story.

Miss Gulch from taking the dog. Toto escapes and runs home. This is the Call to Adventure because it calls Dorothy to begin her quest. The tornado, which takes Dorothy to Oz, can also be seen as the Call to Adventure.

However, the stronger response is that Dorothy is called to adventure by the threat to Toto and his return home. 3. Refusing the Call: Dorothy tries to return to

opposites can do so much good for one another, and in this context, how a person could affect someone’s personality and how they perceive the world. This song starts off with a monologue from Elphaba to Glinda which tells Glinda to leave Elphaba, for she is only a burden to the perfect life Glinda has. The duet then went on about how they’ve changed for the better, thanks to each other’s presence in both of their lives.
