The Wizard of Oz Review by Harvey Karten Copyright © 1998 Harvey Karten I’d like five bucks for every time someone called out to me‚ “Hey‚ Toto!” when I walk my cairn terrier around the neighborhood. “Is that really Toto?” adults would stop and ask me‚ and I’d of course reply‚ “Sure it is; I’ve had him for sixty-three years now.” As for the kids‚ well‚ surprisingly enough some of them never saw “The Wizard of Oz” so the best they can do is say‚ “Ma‚ Ma‚ look at the dog!” Pretty soon

is a symbol for the grim reaper‚ a character coming to reap the bodies in a non-heroic manner. No living landscape exists; the nature is dead‚ dried up‚ and trampled on by the soldiers‚ destroying any semblance of the living. O’Sullivan’s use of a sepia hue exemplifies this grim scene. Even though O’Sullivan provides a representation of the American Civil War that is of horror‚ he embeds a hidden sense of

Many different aspects of the learning and encoding of particular tasks and skills can affect the subsequent performance in these tasks. Specifically in the case of studying material in an educational context‚ building the scaffolding for strong retrieval pathways is imperative to proper learning and memorization of content. Manipulating the context of how one learns and is tested can be a powerful tool in strengthening the retrieval of studied material. Godden and Baddeley (1975) performed an experiment
