Tin Man

idea again, but Isaac said it was too simple and wasn’t going to work. Even though he didn’t like my idea no one else had a better idea, so we tried it anyways. All we had to do was shape tin foil into a bowl like structure, and make sure it didn’t have any openings to let water in. We put a second layer of tin foil over it, Isaac’s idea, to try to make sure it didn’t let on water. When we tested it, it tipped over on its own because it was too top heavy, but it needed to be tall, so that it…

“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. First off, the 1939 movie that was directed by a few different directors but in the end was finished being directed by Victor Fleming. This movie, being one of the first movies to use color, brought L. Frank Baum’s vision of Oz to life. Secondly, Wicked, the musical with music by Stephen…

Throughout the movie the Wizard of Oz the Scarecrow would say “if I only had a brain”. However, the Scarecrow didn’t even need a brain; he already had what he wanted. This was shown in multiple scenes of the movie; one being when Dorothy tries to pick apples from the tree. In the movie, the Scarecrow’s smarts are shown by how he gets apples for Dorothy. Dorothy tries to pick apples from a tree and they yell at her and Dorothy is frightened. Next, the scarecrow pulls Dorothy away from the trees…

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. If this was a fantasy, it was a strange one: this wasn’t the Oz that I had read about or seen in the movie. It was as if someone…

The story of Dorothy Gale’s tornado swept trailer is an American classic. It tells the story of a young girl finding her way through a fictitious land filled with munchkins and flying monkeys on her way to the Emerald City. The original novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz has been found to relate to the Great Depression and Populist movement that occurred in the United States in the late 19th century and early 20th century. There are many reasons why the modern spin on this classic story is a…

Do you know what lies behind the yellow brick road? It is no surprise to anyone to hear that famous classic books such as The Jungle, or Brave New World, has a deeper meaning, but many may be surprised to learn that the most popular children's fantasy, The Wizard of Oz, also has a deeper meaning. L. Frank Baum's, The Wizard of Oz, is very different from the way Disney portrays it. There have been many different versions of the famous writer's work, L. Frank Baum. He is perhaps remembered even…

In the popular children’s book, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, written by L. Frank Baum, populism can be seen more often than not. Baum cleverly displays this through all of his characters. Each is symbolic to his everyday life, as well as to other common people’s lives that have had similar experiences, or can relate in any way to the author. For instance, Dorothy represents an adolescent’s innocence, Toto represents virtuousness, the Scarecrow represents the hard working farmers, the Tinman…

“R”Rovers are an important part of our lives. They allow us to see beyond our earth. We made our rovers to help us understand the scientific process and how to create an experiment. Making this rover also refreshed our memory of the concept of elastic energy. Not to rub it in your face, but EarthToy Designs enlisted in our help to design this rover, too. They asked us to make a rover that can be adjusted to go different distances. Of course, we have to think about the environment while making…
