    “There’s no place like home.” For my remix analysis I am focusing on the phenomenon that is the Wizard of Oz and how it became the starting point for so many different remixes that are very well know today.

    For my book talk, I read Dorothy Must Die by Danielle Paige, which falls under juvenile fantasy. The story begins in Mission, Kansas, and is later moved to the world of Oz by a tornado. This transportation is much like the one that Dorothy goes through in the famous movie, The Wizard of Oz. Oz, however, is not as it used to be. The author wrote, “My head was swimming.
