Get Lit: The Wizard Of Oz Booth
Get Lit was a great experience to me. I went there thinking it wasn’t going to be fun but I was wrong. It was nice seeing a lot of people dressed up and getting into the event. There was a ton of booths set up all around the student success center for everyone to go enjoy and have fun learning about literature. One of them I went to was the Wizard of Oz booth. I never have seen Wizard of Oz in many years and after talking with the people at the booth I have learned more than I ever knew. It was about a girl named Dorothy and her dog named Todo. They were hit by a tornado which landed them in a new place called Oz and there they met weird characters. They had met a Scarecrow, Lion, and a Woodman. They all became friends and went on an adventure

    Jamarion Lawhorn: Case Study

    This week was very diverse in the activities that I did. The court review for Jamarion Lawhorn was very interesting. His case happened 3 years ago when he stabbed a boy at a playground and the victim died. Lawhorn was waived as an adult in the case. This reflects the juvenile and adult systems which I was taught about in my classes. When he turns 19 he will be done with the juvenile home and at that time they will have to decide what to do with him. He could still potentially get prison time as an adult. It was nice to know about the systems and how they worked to really understand what could happen in his case in the future.…

    A Summary Of Fire In Chicago Theater

    In 1903, a fire in the Iroquois Theater in Chicago, Illinois, kills more than 600 people ("Fire breaks out in Chicago theater", 2009). This accident blocked fire exits and the shortage of a fire-safety plan was the cause of most of the deaths ("Fire breaks out in Chicago theater", 2009). The Iroquois Theater was a luxurious theater that claimed to be fireproof before it opened and the fire inspector stated that the theater was "fireproof beyond all doubt" ("Fire breaks out in Chicago theater", 2009). This reminds of the Titanic because it was supposed to be an unsinkable ship but ended up sinking under tragic circumstances. During one of the performances, a spotlight operator noticed that one of the calcium lights ignited the fire ("Fire breaks…

    Wizard of Oz Symbolic to the Populist Era

    I know you’re wondering how The Wonderful Wizard of Oz relates to the Populist Era, well it was said that the author L. Frank Baum was contrasting the Wizard of Oz to the Populist Era. In 1964 Henry M. Littlefield published “The Wizard of Oz: Parable on Populism” in the American Quarterly explaining the similarities between the two. He explains how a lot of the characters from the Wizard of Oz represent some elements of the Populist Era.…

    Wizard of Oz Political Allegory

    “There’s no place like home, there’s no place like home, there’s no place like home”, repeated Dorothy. A young girl trying to go back home to Kansas after a cyclone lands her and her dog, Toto, in the Land of Oz. There Dorothy meets the Scarecrow, the TinMan, and the Cowardly Lion who are all in need of something that is considered important to them; a brain, a heart, and courage. Along the way, they have to travel to Emerald City to see the Wizard of Oz, directed by the Good Witch of the North, especially for Dorothy to get back home. However, Dorothy and the gang run into problems with the Wicked Witch of the West, who wants Dorothy’s ruby slippers (which was originally the Wicked Witch of the East shoes). In America, in the late 1890’s, the Populist Movement was in full throttle. Populism is “government of, for, and by the people”. The Populist Party was a political party, which was a collection of various social groups against monopolies and the rich. In these social groups, included poor white farmers from the South; wheat farmers in the Mid-Western states such as Kansas, Nebraska; African- Americans; and Northern factory workers. These oppressed groups naturally didn’t agree with banks, railroads and the rich. The Populist Movement relates to the Wizard of Oz because it portrays the people of these places as fools because some actually do listen to these presidents who really don’t have the American people best interest at heart. Also, the events that occurred during the Populist Movement involving farmers, their hardships, oppressed workers, and politics mirrored Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tinman, and the Cowardly Lion. Therefore, this shows how the Wizard of Oz proves to be a political parable.…

    Wizard of Oz Analogy

    If comparing the movie to current politics, much can be tied to the wicked witch. The witch has many of the flying monkeys which abide to all of her commands. Using this, the monkeys represent the US Congress in which senators and state representatives do what the president says. This further makes the house of congress seem like puppets on the larger scale. The monkeys also did not like the witch and they were excited when Dorothy melted her. This is analogous for the way the US is never pleased with the Government. The Witch did not defend herself substantially, allowing Dorothy to kill her easily, which could be symbolic of the way that the US government doesn’t have a strong handle on all of the issues in the US.…

    Mirror Stage of Development Analysis on the Wizard of Oz (Magic Art of the Great Humbug)

    In the children 's story, "The Magic Art of the Great Humbug", all of the characters run into problems with their identities. The old man has the most difficulty with his own identity. He wishes to be a great wizard with superhuman capabilities. The Tin Man, Scarecrow, and Cowardly Lion have trouble with desiring qualities that are only common to humans. Finally, Dorothy runs into trouble with the symbols around her that establish her identity. The common problem that consumes each character in this story is commonly known as an identity crisis, meaning they ask the question, "Who am I?" Although these problems with identity seem difficult to solve for, the essays of Lacan, Payne, and McGillis can help to find the answers. Every identity question that each character has in the story can be defined from Lacan 's mirror stage and symbolic order. From the examples of the characters ' identity problems, it will be seen that they are merely a mirror (example) of some of the challenges we may face in defining and developing our own identities.…

    the night circus

    One of the things we talked about in our group was about Baileys significance in the story. We could not find any real reason that he was there except to add another view point of the circus in the story. Bailey's had his own side story in the book which made the story more real. The second thing that we also discussed was what happened in the story so far. We talked about how the book, “The Night Circus”, is a fairytale most likely set in the Victorian Era . The description of the way the characters talked, the scenery, clothing described as long dresses that went down to the ankle worn with gloves, and the girls hair was styled up in a bun all gave a old time feeling.…

    For my cultural event I choose to go to the African-American Poetry Night hosted by MCCC writing center. I found the event insightful as it highlighted well know African-American poets such as Mayo Angelou and Langston Hughes, and some poets that are not as well known, such as Marvin X. The event was open to the public, and the attendees was welcome to bring a poem or a story to share.…

    The Wonderful Wizard of Oz

    The year of 1939 was a great year for classical movie lovers. With Gone with the Wind, Mr. Smith goes to Washington, Wuthering Heights, and The Wizard of Oz. This year during the Great Depression gave us more classics than most years combined. The Great Depression was one of the main reasons behind the making of all of these movies; the dark and bleak times needed a getaway, a place to escape to where ones troubles don’t matter, the movies were that getaway. On average sixty-one percent of America went to the movies at least once a week, and it is not very hard to believe, looking at the movies from that time. People were enthralled by the new color movies, the first being Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, by Walt Disney which was made two years earlier. It had been a major hit, and MGM wanted to get into the Lime-light given off by Disney’s great success. That is one of the reasons behind his making of The Wizard of Oz.…
