Are you okay? I thought I'd lost you. Toto, I don't know what I would have done. I swear, Kansas has got to be the absolute most boring, awful place I've ever been.

  • Thao 1 Mai Y. Thao Anne F. Walker WRI 10-16 23 April 2012 the Battle
    Thao 1 Mai Y. Thao Anne F. Walker WRI 10-16 23 April 2012 The Battle between Good and Evil Good and evil are the Yin and Yang that keeps the universe balanced. As far as ancient times, where ever good existed, evil will rise. Wicked, the Wicked Witch of the West, was a woman who symbolizes both good and evil. Wicked was first introduced in L. Frank Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and later developed in Gregory Maguire’s Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West. Baum introduces Wicked in a small portion of his novel, while Maguire dedicated his whole novel into the development of Wicked’s character. Wicked is seen as the deadliest witch in Land of Oz by Baum, but she’s a helpless being sucked into between the thin line of good and evil in Maguire’s adaptation. In the battle between good and evil, the good prevail at all cost. Where there is good, there will be evil to balance out both sides of a story similar to how Wicked keeps the Land of Oz in place in the battle between her and the Wizard. Although Wicked is seen as nefarious, she holds both the good and the evil that balances and keeps the Land of Oz in place. The Wicked in L. Frank Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz appears only in a small portion of the novel and melts away as Dorothy Gale, the protagonist, tossed a bucket of water at her. Wicked, known as Elphaba, was the antagonist/protagonist of Gregory Maguire’s adaption of the novel.

Dorothy's Magic Belt Author's Note My friends the children are responsible for this new "Oz Book," as they were for the last one, which was called The Land of Oz. Their sweet little letters plead to know "more about Dorothy"; and they ask: "What became of the Cowardly Lion?" and "What did Ozma do afterward?"--meaning, of course, after she became the Ruler of Oz. And some of them suggest plots to me, saying: "Please have Dorothy go to the Land of Oz again"; or, "Why don't you make Ozma and Dorothy meet, and have a good time together?" Indeed, could I do all that my little friends ask, I would be obliged to write dozens of books to satisfy their demands.

  • Passage, Pilgrimage, and Power in Oz: Transformative Moments in Dorothy’S Journey
    PASSAGE, PILGRIMAGE, AND POWER IN OZ: TRANSFORMATIVE MOMENTS IN DOROTHY’S JOURNEY A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of The School of Continuing Studies and of The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Liberal Studies By William A. Cessato, A.B. Georgetown University Washington, D.C. February 17, 2016 PASSAGE, PILGRIMAGE, AND POWER IN OZ: TRANSFORMATIVE MOMENTS IN DOROTHY’S JOURNEY William A. Cessato, A.B. MALS Mentor: Frederick J. Ruf, Ph.D. ABSTRACT L. Frank Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1900) and the well-known Metro- Goldwyn-Mayer film adaptation The Wizard of Oz (1939) engage themes and imagery related to passage rites, pilgrimage, and power structures. While these areas have been explored explicitly and implicitly in scholarly literature, a close analysis employing the anthropological observations and theories of Arnold van Gennep (1873-1957), Edith Turner (1921-), and Victor Turner (1920-1983) will contribute to a deeper understanding of inter-textual thematic connections. Specifically, this paper looks at 1) van Gennep’s analysis of rites of passage, 2) Victor Turner and Edith Turner’s observations about religious pilgrimage, and 3) Victor Turner’s presentation of the concept of structure and anti-structure, the last with a special emphasis on status elevation and status reversal rites. A common thread linking the three areas of focus is the concept of liminality – a time of transition and transformation occurring between more, to use the Turners’ word, “stable” life states – that appears in the anthropologists’ works. After a thorough, yet non-exhaustive review of related scholarly literature and a close reading of the text, film, and related anthropological theories, this paper helps show that Dorothy’s experience in Oz exhibits elements of van Gennep’s description of the rites associated with passage: separation, transition, and incorporation.

    Fourth Draft Three Column Version August 15, 2002 The Baum Bugle The Journal of the International Wizard of Oz Club Index for Volumes 1-45 1957-2001 Volumes 1 through 31: Frederick E. Otto Volumes 32 through 45: Richard R. Rutter Dedications The Baum Bugle’s editors for giving Oz fans insights into the wonderful world of Oz. Fred E. Otto [1927-95] for launching the indexing project. Peter E. Hanff for his assistance and encouragement during the creation of this third edition of The Baum Bugle Index (1957-2001). Fred M. Meyer, my mentor during more than a quarter century in Oz. Introduction Founded in 1957 by Justin G. Schiller, The International Wizard of Oz Club brings together thousands of diverse individuals interested in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and this classic’s author, L. Frank Baum. The forty-four volumes of The Baum Bugle to-date play an important rôle for the club and its members. Despite the general excellence of the journal, the lack of annual or cumulative indices, was soon recognized as a hindrance by those pursuing research related to The Wizard of Oz. The late Fred E. Otto (1925-1994) accepted the challenge of creating a Bugle index proposed by Jerry Tobias. With the assistance of Patrick Maund, Peter E. Hanff, and Karin Eads, Fred completed a first edition which included volumes 1 through 28 (1957-1984). A much improved second edition, embracing all issues through 1988, was published by Fred Otto with the assistance of Douglas G. Greene, Patrick Maund, Gregory McKean, and Peter E.
