The Wizard of Oz

I'm thankful for Movies and TV shows. I love going to the movies and relaxing on my comfy couch watching some great movies. My favorite movies and shows – Steven Segal,Chop Chef, God’s Not Dead, The Blind Side, Sanford & Son and The Wizard of Oz. I am thankful for the Rain-there's nothing more cozy for me than hearing the rain patter on my roof day or night, or getting comfy with a good book while watching the raindrops by the window, even baking cookies on a gloomy day.

First I would like to discuss the characters. I found Daisy Buchanan very frustrating. I will admit her decision at the end of the novel was a hard one. Picking between the man you loved and your husband. I feel she made the process of the choice let alone her decision extremely difficult. Daisy stringed Gatsby along on an unfortunate ride to his doom, and after convincing him she still loved him and even verbally said it in front of our narrator, Nick, she still went away with Tom for reasons I

the Wicked Witch of the West's son in Wicked. All through the book you don't know for sure if he really is or isn't her son until the very end. I like Maguire's writing style, but the book isn't as good as Wicked. You are so far removed from The Wizard of Oz at this point, that I would venture to say the book has nothing to do with it at all. Like I said, the book is interesting and well written, but I wouldn't read it a second time. I was disappointed by the loose ends left at the conclusion of the

When George Lucas first pitched the idea of Star Wars, a space-western, to movie executives back in the 1970’s; he probably never imagined it to be the cultural phenomenon that it turned out to be. The original Star Wars trilogy (Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi), earned more two billion dollars, after adjusted for inflation in North America (IMDB). Then sixteen years later the next three Star Wars movies were

last song of the album. Moreover, it is the realization of a constant threat and mental strain to produce for the industry, which holds legal agreements that bind these musical performers. Lastly, a very brief examination of the 1939 movie, The Wizard of Oz tied together with this concept album and synced together down a yellow brick road. In a brief history of Pink Floyd, the once 60’s psychedelic group would later evolve into a mainstream progressive rock group.

There are numerous genre’s in literature, but their level of importance and influence on an individual will differ. Exposure to books and stories is especially important for children because it is their opportunity to acclimate themselves to written language, and in turn create their own visuals for the toneless words. Maria Tatar writes, “Why Fairy Tales Matter: The Performative and the Transformative” to demonstrate how fairy tale’s written language can spark a child’s imagination as well as empower

The most glaring similarity between these two is that neither of the two sure-fire. In Enrique’s Journey, the path from Central America to the United States is ever changing. The journey’s success, for the most part, is based on luck. In fact, Enrique himself made eight attempts before he was able to reach the United States. According to a Department of Homeland Security 2016 report, a mere 46% of attempts illegally cross at border crossings are successful (Tribune). That is saying that there is

I am writing on behalf of the 8th Grade Class at Monticello Trails Middle School to help achieve the goal of creating a Goodnight Kansas book. This topic has caused a commotion throughout our school because we think we deserve a book to boost our popularity. We say we deserve this because Kansas has many interesting attractions that kids would be interested in reading. I know you don’t accept submissions, but it would be amazing if you considered our proposal. We would love to be a part of the

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 Elphaba is behind it but she will not let the animals suffer

women should engage in gaining their freedom or stand up for a cause they believe in. This is reflected through Elphaba’s actions as she defends the rights of Animals. Elphaba also expresses her strong will when she encountered the Wizard. She demandingly asks the Wizard to change the way Animals were treated even though she is aware of his authority. “‘So what?’ Elphaba said. “I’m mad.’” (Baum 104). She
