Story Elements: The Wonderful Wizard of Oz

Main idea
This novel is about Dorothy and her friends whom she meets along her journey. It also has to do with taking things for granted, for example at the beginnign of the story Dorothy's life is described as dull an boring and as the story moves along all she can think about is being back home with her Aunt and Uncle in Kansas. Also her friends; the scare crow who claims to have no brains but, is really the smartest of them all, the tin man who says he has no heart but is most loving. The lion who longs for bravery while he the most brave. All of these characters didn't realize what they had until they lost it like Dorothy and the tin man. Throughout the story you see how the characters evolve and have a broader, more open mind. Like in real life too, the farther, or longer you go along life's path the more you learn and accept.

Connections
I can understand how Dorothy felt suddenly being in a different world with different kinds of people and different ways of doing things. When I moved from Chicago to Colombia it sort of felt like I was a stranger in this big world. Also I can't literally connect but I can imagine how terrible it must of felt or feel not having a way to get back home.
