A Wonderful Life

The 1939 film “The Wizard of Oz” by L. Frank Baum, is a classical movie that to many, never gets old. After a massive cyclone in Kansas, Dorothy and her dog (Toto) are swept up and placed in the magical Land of Oz. Wishing to go back home to Kansas, Dorothy journeys on towards Emerald City to meet the Wizard of Oz. The Wizard is said to be magical and will have the ability to send her and her dog back home. On this journey Dorothy meets a Scarecrow, Tin Man, and a Cowardly Lion who all wish to…

nicely on the shut eyelid and the eyelashes are stretched out on the open eye. This again is representing Helmer and Nora 's relationship. The closed eye is the beginning of the relationship when their eyes are closed to what Ibsen 's way of life should be like. Ibsen 's view and Torvald 's view are very different. It is almost like they are arguing in the script. The eyelashes show that everything is neat and tidy in their relationship at this point. The open eye represents the…

have a great deal of admiration towards Victors, but has barely communicated with him. Robert Walton describes Victor as being “noble,” when in fact Victor’s exhaustion is due to his quest to try to destroy the murderous creature he had brought to life. Victor is described as being “attractive and amiable,” but he has spent many years fixated on death and decay which led to the destruction of his loved ones. Additionally, Victor’s abandonment of the Creature detracts from the notion of nobility…

In the movie, “Of Mice and Men” Weed was very different than the one in the novel. First and foremost, the lady in the red dress chased Lennie and George; the book did not portray it that way. The men were also chasing Lennie and George. I believe the director chose to do it this way because it brings action, and it also makes it more interesting it. Also it is the beginning of the story, so he possibly may have wanted to add an attention grabber to draw you in. It does not change the story only…

and he represents the western farmers because they are usually seen as idiots. The Scarecrow doesn 't have any bones in his body and is just a image of what we would call weak. This was seen like the Farmers they were very week and all they knew was life on a farm. The scarecrow is also a man of irony because he doesn’t have a brain or conscience but always comes up with solutions to problems. He’s the first person Dorothy and is easily convinced to go on the journey to Emerald…

ichelle Geiszler 1. In this particular play there are four major settings/scenes. The first is known as The Unknown Place in Oz, which is at the beginning and is right when Dorothy comes out of her house feeling, confused not knowing where she is. I play the North Witch during the first scene and the last scene as well. My specific relationship to the first scene is that I am happy because the evil witch is dead due to Dorothy’s house. My mood is positive while welcoming Dorothy into the…

Thirdly, The Cowardly Lion is a character who supposed to possess the characteristic feature of a lion, king of the jungle, yet he describes himself as a “coward" (Baum 31) when Dorothy and her companions run across him in the forest. Cowardly Lion tells his story and how he does not manage to rule other animals because of his fear. Other characters who off to see the Wizard of Oz encourage him and he decides to accompany them to ask Wizard of Oz to give him courage. But before Wizard of Oz…

Scarecrow(Master of Fear) Imagine your deepest darkest fears coming alive! Scarecrow also known as Jonathan Crane is a villain in American comic books. Scarecrow's is mostly a adversary of Batman and Robin. Scarecrow was created in the fall of 1941 by Bob Kane and Bill Finger. In fact he was one of Batman's earliest foes. First things first is Scarecrows origin. Jonathan Crane was a psychology professor who had gotten rejected by all the educators because of the attire he wore. Crane was…

For reasons that defy logic, movie studios continuously attempt to build around the foundation of film classics. Take The Wizard of Oz for example – which in the last 3 years alone has garnered a prequel (Oz the Great and Powerful) and a sequel (Legends of Oz: Dorothy’s Return). And as you might expect, neither of those productions was able to fully harness the admiration and energy established by the 1939 classic. Sure, there’s plenty of other examples to use, as well – like virtually any…

different is that in the movie,the land of OZ is just Dorothy’s dreaming,but in the book,the land of OZ is a real place and she really traveled to that land.The movie show the story as the dream which Dorothy is having,and also the people in her life was showing up as the characters in the dream.In the book,the writer make readers believe that Dorothy’s trip to OZ is real,not the creation by Dorothy’s mind. The second different was Dorothy’s shoes,Dorothy's ruby red shoes might…
