Silver Shoes with Pointed Toes Guided Reading Answers 1. Dorothy is called ‘most noble sorceress’. What do you think this means? Someone of great importance and status who uses magic. 2. How do you think Dorothy is feeling when it is revealed that she has killed somebody? Use evidence from the text to support your answer. Dorothy is horrified. We know this because she ‘gave a little cry of fright’ when she saw the feet sticking out from under the house. 3. How do you think the Munchkins will treat Dorothy after this episode? What clues are there in the text? The Munchkins will likely treat Dorothy with respect, they call her ‘most noble sorceress’. They might feel that they owe something to Dorothy as she has saved them from the constraints of the Wicked Witch of the East. Perhaps, in the future, the Munchkins might ask Dorothy to lead them; it is clear that they look up to her. 4. How does Dorothy’s mood change throughout the text? At the beginning of the text, Dorothy is astounded and quite excited about her new surroundings; the text describes her as ‘looking eagerly’ around. Her eagerness turns into wonder as the munchkins approach her. At the end of the text, she is both confused and fearful – Dorothy gave a ‘little cry of fright’ as she had killed the Wicked Witch of the East! 5. Who has been killed by the falling house? The Wicked Witch of the East 6. In your own words, summarise what the munchkins look like. The munchkins are about the same size as a well-grown child. They dress oddly with round hats on their head that tinkle with bells every time they move. The men wear blue, have beards and wear well-polished shoes. The little woman with them wears a white gown adorned with glistening stars. .

'The “Wizard of Oz” As a Monetary Allegory,' Journal Of
Hugh Rockoff of Rutgers University, ‘The “Wizard of Oz” as a Monetary Allegory,’ Journal of Political Economy, Vol. 98, 1990, pp. 739-760. I. Introduction The Wizard of Oz is perhaps the best-loved American children's story. The movie, starring Judy Garland, Bert Lahr, Ray Bolger and company, is an annual television ritual. The book on which the movie is based, L. Frank Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, however, is not only a child's tale but also a sophisticated commentary on the political and economic debates of the Populist Era.1 Previous interpretations have focused on the political and social aspects of the allegory. The most important of these is Littlefield ([1966] 1968), although his interpretation was adumbrated by Nye (1951), Gardner and Nye (1957), Sackett (I960), and Bewley ([1964] 1970). My purpose is to unlock the references in the Wizard of Oz to the monetary debates of the 1890s. When the story is viewed in this light, the real reason the Cowardly Lion fell asleep in the field of poppies, the identity of the Wizard of Oz, the significance of the strange number of hallways and rooms in the Emerald Palace, and the reason the Wicked Witch of the West was so happy to get one of Dorothy's shoes become clear. Thus interpreted, the Wizard of Oz becomes a powerful pedagogic device. Few students of money and banking or economic history will forget the battle between the advocates of free silver and the defenders of the gold standard when it is explained through the Wizard of Oz.

The Wizard of Oz Classic VIPERS Comprehension
Silver Shoes with Pointed Toes While she stood looking eagerly at the strange and beautiful sights, she noticed coming toward her a group of the queerest people she had ever seen. They were not as big as the grown folk she had always been used to; but neither were they very small. In fact, they seemed about as tall as Dorothy, who was a well-grown child for her age, although they were, so far as looks go, many years older. Three were men and one a woman, and all were oddly dressed. They wore round hats that rose to a small point a foot above their heads, with little bells around the brims that tinkled sweetly as they moved. The hats of the men were blue; the little woman's hat was white, and she wore a white gown that hung in pleats from her shoulders. Over it were sprinkled little stars that glistened in the sun like diamonds. The men were dressed in blue, of the same shade as their hats, and wore well-polished boots with a deep roll of blue at the tops. The men, Dorothy thought, were about as old as Uncle Henry, for two of them had beards. But the little woman was doubtless much older. Her face was covered with wrinkles, her hair was nearly white, and she walked rather stiffly. When these people drew near the house where Dorothy was standing in the doorway, they paused and whispered among themselves, as if afraid to come farther. But the little old woman walked up to Dorothy, made a low bow and said, in a sweet voice: "You are welcome, most noble Sorceress, to the land of the Munchkins.

"No, I'll look first," she said, "and see whether it's marked 'poison' or not": for she had read several nice little stories about children who had got burnt, and eaten up by wild beasts, and other unpleasant things, all because they would not remember the simple rules their friends had taught them: such as, that a red-hot poker will burn you if you hold it too long; and that, if you cut your finger very deeply with a knife, it usually bleeds; and she had never forgotten that, if you drink much from a bottle marked 'poison,' it is almost certain to disagree with you sooner or later.I I.

We encounter these words as children, and then come to appreciate them as adults. Like many children, my memories of fairy tales come from my parents’ bedtime readings of “The Princess and the Pea” and Peter Pan. My most intense memories, however, are of my brother and I snuggled on our worn sofa watching the magic of Walt Disney. I vividly remember squirming with excitement as the opening melody for Cinderella began to play, and then wrinkling my nose in disgust when Lady Tremaine and her selfish daughters were introduced. Like many children, I held my breath when the evil stepmother locked poor Cinderella in the attic, and then sighed with relief as Cinderella was rescued and allowed to try on the sparkling glass slipper. From then on, those four simple words, once upon a time, were inscribed in my memory as a channel to a world of “happily ever afters” and true love, where evil is always vanquished.

Chapter 3: How Dorothy Saved the Scarecrow
by L. Frank Baum CHAPTER 3: HOW DOROTHY SAVED THE SCARECROW When Dorothy was left alone she began to feel hungry. So she went to the cupboard and cut herself some bread, which she spread with butter. She gave some to Toto, and taking a pail from the shelf she carried it down to the little brook and filled it with clear, sparkling water. Toto ran over to the trees and began to bark at the birds sitting there. Dorothy went to get him, and saw such delicious fruit hanging from the branches that she gathered some of it, finding it just what she wanted to help out her breakfast. Then she went back to the house, and having helped herself and Toto to a good drink of the cool, clear water, she set about making ready for the journey to the City of Emer- alds. Dorothy had only one other dress, but that happened to be clean and was hanging on a peg beside her bed. It was gingham, with checks of white and blue; and although the blue was somewhat faded with many washings, it was still a pretty frock. The girl washed herself carefully, dressed herself in the clean gingham, and tied her pink sunbonnet on her head. She took a little basket and filled it with bread from the cupboard, laying a white cloth over the top. Then she looked down at her feet and noticed how old and worn her shoes were. “They surely will never do for a long journey, Toto,” she said. And Toto looked up into her face with his little black eyes and wagged his tail to show he knew what she meant.
