Wizard of Oz The book Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum is a fictional novel about a young lady named Dorothy who lives with her aunt Em and uncle Henry on a farm in Kansas. On this said farm, one day a tornado comes through, destroying everything and picking up the house with Toto (Dorothy's dog) and Dorothy inside, while Dorothy tries to stay calm, as she falls asleep in the process. This slumber took her into a fantasy involving good witches and bad witches, munchkins, a Lion, a Tin Man, and a Scarecrow. While being suck in this dream land, Dorothy’s main goal is to find a way home, and along the process she meets as previously stated, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Lion.

Personally, I have always been a huge fan of the movie, but I never got around to reading the book, and as it usually is, the book is so much better. There is detail left out in the movie that gives the whole plot so much more meaning. Reading this books helped me make a lot more connections within the real world than what just watching the movie would have done for me. Fictional books are always my favorite, especially when they are fantasy based because it is always just more enjoyable to find hidden messages and meaning throughout it. This book was a very easy read and was very easy to understand. It wasn’t like the books you get assigned to read for class that you just dread constantly, it was relaxing and very entertaining, instead of boring and I didn’t have to force myself to read it. The plot is very interesting and really influenced so many more authors for their writing, it really added to the growth of fictional books throughout time. Especially at a very stressful time of year, Wizard of Oz was just refreshing to read. I’m personally sick of reading these class assigned books that I can’t even get passed the first page with, so I am very glad that I chose this instead of something nonfiction and well, boring. The book and movie are so widely viewed and I have seen the movie at least five times, so I’m glad I actually got an excuse to read this. The character development, the word choices, and the setting all really …show more content…
This book can vastly be related to industrialization of the time period. Dorothy represents the citizens who had a very political mindset because they realized the change needed. The Scarecrow represents a farm who is illiterate and in a way braindead from high powers who feared their love towards some reforms. The lion represented William Jennings Bryan, who was seen as having no courage due to the refusal of his support towards America going to war with Spain in the late 1800’s. The Tin man represents the industrial workers who were worked to their limits and were really dehumanized and seen as nothing more than the machinery they work with to the higher up employers. The munchkins represent the mass majority of citizens who feel they are too little in power stance that they cannot speak up for what they deserve, they feel enslaved by the higher class, business owners and such. The silver slippers in the book represent silver and it is believed the silver slippers that Dorothy got after accidentally killing the Wicked Witch of the East had powers, and many farmers,and laborers believed that advancing the money aspects by putting more silver within it all would stop the bad business cycles that hurt the economy. More money would increase the want for certain porducts, and could free money for up smaller investors. In the movie the magic slippers were changed to ruby, so the economical

Wizard of Oz

...The Wizard of Oz The Wizard of Oz is a classic American film interpreted from L. Frank Baum’s book published in 1900. We have all seen the film as a child and enjoy it equally as adults. It is a film we watch repeatedly to experience the wonders of our imaginations. There are many key elements that have made this film a notorious childhood memory as well as an American classic that we have treasured for generations. How could we forget the magical characters, the music, and the outstanding cinematography? The theme of the film can be summed up simply from one of the many notable phrases, “there’s no place like home”. Dorothy, a Kansas farm girl dreams of a better place and life. During a tornado she is struck in the head and there begins her journey to Oz. There she meets magical characters, many of which travel on with her also in search of better things. Who can forget the Munchkins, the first of the strange but charming characters Dorothy encounters? Dorothy and her dog Toto also come across the wicked witch the of the west and Glenda the good witch, introducing the good vs. evil of the fairy tale. She sets out on her quest to find a way home when she stumbles upon the Scarecrow who is in search for a brain, the Tinman in search of a heart and the Lion in search of courage. There are parallels to the characters she meets in relation to her family and neighbors back in Kansas, therefore reinforcing her homesickness and the determination to return...

...only as cinematographers, but as people. —Laszlo Kovacs Courtesy Everett Collection Section 4.1 The “Look” of a Scene CHAPTER 4 Chapter Objectives After reading this chapter, students should: • Have a working knowledge of the cinematographer’s job • Understand the difference between cinematography and mise en scène and recognize the importance of each • Understand the importance of color and lighting and how they affect the tone and feel of a film • Be familiar with different methods of photographing a film, and with terms such as panning, tilting, tracking shots, deep focus, and aspect ratios • Understand how different focal length lenses affect the look of a shot • Recognize what special effects can do for a movie—and what they can’t do 4.1 The “Look” of a Scene W hen we are first introduced to Don Vito Corleone in The Godfather, played by Marlon Brando, the Mafia boss is sitting in the study of his home. Along with his consigliore, or adviser, Tom Hagen (Robert Duvall), Corleone is listening to a line of people requesting favors on the day of his daughter’s wedding. Corleone is immensely powerful, as we learn by the scope of the favors he is asked to grant, which in one case includes the desire of a singer to be cast in a film to revive his musical career, and Corleone’s ability to grant them. However, it is not just what Corleone says in the scene, which introduces us to all that will follow, that makes us aware of his power. It is also...

...Copyright © Jeremy Clark 2012 PretotypeLabs.com AUTHOR’S NOTE This is an economics book. Before you drop it like it’s on fire and run screaming from the room, let me explain. Economics is the study of resource scarcity and choice; it helps clarify the trade-offs we face when we make decisions about where to put our time and money, when and how much we should spend or save. In the context of innovation, economics informs the type and number of innovations attempted in a given period - how bold, how aggressively pursued, and how funded. This book describes an approach to innovation decision making that can break enormously wasteful historical trade-offs in resources. The goal of this book is to enable the practical application of that approach - pretotyping - within mature companies looking to improve the effectiveness of their front-end innovation processes. My colleague and friend Alberto Savoia is the originator of the term pretotype and much of the theoretical foundation for pretotyping. For an entertaining and rapidly-digestible primer on the method, I commend his excellent book Pretotype It1. I owe Alberto - and his many collaborators at Google, where pretotyping abounds - a profound debt, and I heartily acknowledge his prior art. This book is based upon the Pretotyping@Work workshop materials I developed with Alberto that makes pretotyping a teachable, repeatable method. As the book is intended to be readable by those new to pretotyping, there will be some duplication...

Bloodlines of the Illuminati

...Bloodlines of Illuminati by: Fritz Springmeier, 1995 Introduction: I am pleased & honored to present this book to those in the world who love the truth. This is a book for lovers of the Truth. This is a book for those who are already familiar with my past writings. An Illuminati Grand Master once said that the world is a stage and we are all actors. Of course this was not an original thought, but it certainly is a way of describing the Illuminati view of how the world works. The people of the world are an audience to which the Illuminati entertain with propaganda. Just one of the thousands of recent examples of this type of acting done for the public was President Bill Clinton’s 1995 State of the Union address. The speech was designed to push all of the warm fuzzy buttons of his listening audience that he could. All the green lights for acceptance were systematically pushed by the President’s speech with the help of a controlled congressional audience. The truth on the other hand doesn’t always tickle the ear and warm the ego of its listeners. The light of truth in this book will be too bright for some people who will want to return to the safe comfort of their darkness. I am not a conspiracy theorist. I deal with real facts, not theory. Some of the people I write about, I have met. Some of the people I expose are alive and very dangerous. The darkness has never liked the light. Yet, many of the secrets of the Illuminati are locked up tightly simply because secrecy is a way...
