by contrasting the, to the elite. Many people see The Wizard of Oz as being about the fall of the Populist Movement in the United States during the end of the twentieth century.

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.

The older children would get the big, fancy roles, and the younger ones like me, would probably be just another munchkin.
