Week 1

Wizard of OZ

This book/movie, I was told to watch since Freshmen year, it was described to me several times, as a classic. I even went to the library, to search for the movie, but was never motivated enough to pick it up from the shelf and watch it or read it. And bring an international student, i am aware of movies and books from various culture with high-end climax, that when i watched Wizard of OZ in the class, I felt that ok! i finally can say i watched it, but never understood the entire purpose of the movie. Was the movie intended to be for just entertainment, or had a learning purpose or a motive. I couldnt figure out. But it was truly a different experience, and i did go home and complete the movie! :D:D:D

My favorite scene in the movie would be:

Dorothy: It really was no miracle. What happened was just this... 

Dorothy: [singing] The wind began to switch / The house, to pitch / And suddenly the hinges started to unhitch / Just then the Witch / To satisfy an itch / Went flying on her broomstick, thumbing for a hitch! 

Munchkin: And, oh, what happened then was rich! 

Munchkins: [singing] The house began to pitch / The kitchen took a slich / It landed on the Wicked Witch in the middle of a ditch / Which was not a happy situation for the Wicked Witch!
