  • Abducted to Oz, He Had Considered It His Mission to Get Home Again
    CHAPTER ONE: THE ABDUCTION The boy was doing his homework. His parents had taken his little brother to see Return to Oz at the movie theater. He had seen it when it first came out and, although he enjoyed it at the time, he felt he was getting too old for that sort of stuff. Besides, he had too much work to do. It seemed to him that each teacher allocated enough work to practically take up a fellow's entire evening—as if their class was the only one. So Graham, for that was his name, knew he would have to work for several more hours if he was to complete all the assignments. Graham began to work on his math problems, but he could not concentrate. His mind drifted off to the original L. Frank Baum story: The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. He was thinking about the characters in it and what a terrific imagination Mr. Baum must have had, when suddenly, out of the stillness of the house, came a weird screeching sound. The sound was like nothing he had ever heard before. It seemed to have come from behind him; from the vicinity of the fireplace. Graham shivered. He did not believe in ghosts, and at twelve years old (almost thirteen) he should not be afraid to be home alone. But he was scared right now —no question about it. However, when no other sound was forthcoming, he began to rationalize that it had all been his imagination, perhaps just the wind whistling down the chimney.

  • Oz: a Reflection of America
    Allen 1 Monica Allen 11 March 2015 Oz: A Reflection of America L. Frank Baum said that his book The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is meant to be a “modernized fairy tale” (3), or, in other words, an American fairy tale, the first of its kind, and he certainly did succeed. The Wizard of Oz has found its way into the homes of every American from the actual book to the movie to Oz episodes and arcs on TV. Dorothy is one of the most, if not the most, recognizable American figures. Henry Littlefield once said that The Wizard of Oz has “unsuspected depth” and that “Baum’s immortal American fantasy encompasses more than heretofore believed” (50). Littlefield is talking about how he believes Baum wrote The Wizard of Oz to be a “parable on populism” (47), but that allegory has no place in modern society. As Gretchen Ritter puts so elegantly, “Americans today dimly recollect the Populists as farmers in search of better prices for their crops” (174), most Americans do not have this problem today and will, most likely, never have this problem again. Therefore, Littlefield’s “parable on populism” (47), while an interesting read, is no longer that applicable. Instead, one should focus on the total “American-ness” of the first American fairy tale. Other fairy tales can reflect what their home country was like and this one does as well. Jerry Griswold states “what can’t be ignored is how much the Land of Oz is a reflection of actual circumstances [in America] at the turn of the century” (463).

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.

In response to the popular theory that The Wizard qfOz is an allegorical tribute to the Populist movement of the 1890s. the panel considered the question: "Was L.

To address the problem, three aspects needed consider- ation: where did the idea originate and how did it grow? what did the historical record show? and was diere a political mading of die book diat was more in keeping with Baum's politics and the his- tory of the period?

    DAMMIT, TOTO, WE’RE STILL IN KANSAS: THE FALLACY OF FEMINIST EVOLUTION IN A MODERN AMERICAN FAIRY TALE by Beth Boswell A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English Middle Tennessee State University May 2018 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Martha Hixon, Director Dr. Will Brantley Dr. Jane Marcellus This dissertation is dedicated, in loving memory, to two dearly departed souls: to Dr. David L. Lavery, the first director of this project and a constant voice of encouragement in my studies, whose absence will never be wholly realized because of the thousands of lives he touched with his spirit, enthusiasm, and scholarship. I am eternally grateful for our time together. And to my beautiful grandmother, Fay M. Rhodes, who first introduced me to the yellow brick road and took me on her back to a pear-tree Emerald City one hundred times or more. I miss you more than Dorothy missed Kansas. ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This dissertation would not have been possible without the educators who have pushed me to challenge myself, to question everything in the world around me, and to be unashamed to explore what I “thought” I already knew, over and over again. Though there are too many to list by name, know that I am forever grateful for your encouragement and dedication to learning, whether in the classroom or the world. I would like to thank my phenomenal committee for their tireless support and assistance in this project.

  • The Wonderful Wizard of Oz Teaching Unit
    The Wonderful Wizard of Oz Interactive Reader Quick and Dirty Teaching Guide with Student Sample Answers The Wonderful Wizard of Oz Written by by L. Frank Baum 1 Chapter 1 Teaching It! Chapter 1 of The Wizard of Oz begins the tale of a orphaned girl from Kansas who gets swept away from her dull, gray life by a cyclone. The descriptions in this chapter are bleak and as gray as the storm itself. “Sun‐baked”, gray and an uncle who never laughs are examples of the heavy and solitary life Dorothy lives. Discussion Question: Can you imagine a parent in your house covering her ears when you laugh. Give students a moment to discuss this together. When Baum published The Wizard of Oz in 1900, some speculated that it was an allegory for the Industrial Revolution and capitalism. Others say it is just a great fairy tale for children. Baum uses color throughout the book. When you discuss the symbolism of color, it is helpful to poll your students to ask who has seen the original movie and discuss how the Kansas scene at the opening of the movie is black and white but when Dorothy lands in Oz, it is in Technicolor. Chapter 2 Teaching It! Chapter 2 of The Wizard of Oz opens in brilliantly bright colors. The sun is shining. The stormy skies of Kansas have figuratively and literally opened up to an adventure. The Munchkins wear blue, the Wicked Witches shoes are silver and the road is paved in bright yellow bricks! Even the home of the Great Wizard is a color – Emerald.

  • Systemic Oppression in Children's Portal-Quest
    Systemic Oppression in Children’s Portal-Quest Fantasy Literature by Christopher Owen B.A. (Hons), Wilfrid Laurier University, 2013 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Children's Literature) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) April 2015 © Christopher Owen, 2015 Abstract This thesis investigates the representation of systemic oppression in Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. Employing Foucauldian poststructuralism and critical discourse analysis, this research identifies how the social systems of the fantasy texts construct hierarchies based on race and gender, and social norms based on sexuality and disability. Privilege and oppression are identified as the results of the relaying of power relations by social institutions through strategies such as dominant discourses. This study questions the historically understood role of children’s and fantasy literature as socialization tools, and the potential negative consequences of this. ii Preface This Master of Arts thesis is an original, unpublished, independent work of the author, Christopher Owen, as a partial fulfillment of the requirements of the Master of Arts in Children’s Literature Program at the University of British Columbia. Dr. Eric Meyers of the University of British Columbia’s School of Library, Archival and Information Studies supervised the writing of this thesis. Drs. Theresa Rogers and Rick Gooding, of the Language and Literacy Education and English Departments at the University of British Columbia respectively, acted as second readers. I will present portions of this research at the International Research Society in Children’s Literature 22nd Biennial Congress, “Creating Childhoods” at the University of Worcester, in the United Kingdom in August 2015.

    NO WITCH IS A BAD WITCH: A COMMENTARY ON THE ERASURE OF MATILDA JOSLYN GAGE ZANITA E. FENTON* I. INTRODUCTION There is something unreal about living in a world replete with borders, bias, and a seemingly infinite range of inequality. Where do Truth, Rationality, Equality, and Justice reside? Is there a Land of Oz1 where this is true? Can our imaginations create the reality to which we aspire? Will this place ever be Home? I wonder if I will ever find it or if it is only fantasy. Someone clearly forgot to give me my silver shoes.2 The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, by L. Frank Baum, is an enduring children‘s story, notable for its progressive messages.3 The most obvious of these include the release of the munchkins4 in a post-abolitionist society5 * Professor of Law, University of Miami School of Law. I dedicate this Essay to my sister, Deidra Fenton Mahoney (1962–2010), with whom I spent many hours watching The Wizard of Oz and The Wiz. I thank all the participants of the Taking Oz Seriously symposium for comment and camaraderie that made writing this essay possible. I appreciate Charlton Copeland, Caroline Corbin, Mary Anne Franks and Margaret Sachs for their insightful comments and feedback during the writing process.

  • The Old Mill Times
    The Old Mill Times Patron: Garry Lawrence All the news and views from the Online bookings: oldmilltheatre.com.au/tickets Old Mill Theatre for JANUARY-FEBRUARY 2017 Plus-sized laughs in play that brings home the bacon AN AWARD-winning comedy that takes a politically incor- rect look at our obsession with appearance is the Old Mill Theatre’s first season of 2017. Written by Neil LaBute and directed by Les Hart, Fat Pig focuses on a good-looking young man who becomes involved with a plus-sized librarian. When Tom falls in love with Helen, he is ecstatic – but is conflicted when his work colleague is highly insulting about the relationship due to Helen’s weight and appearance. The play follows Tom and Helen’s journey through a poignant and eye-opening production that hits on the topics of outside influences on decision-making and the human tendency to choose beauty over substance. Winning the Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding Off- Broadway Play, LaBute was inspired to write Fat Pig after an experiment with dieting – as his weight decreased so did his focus on writing. Les said the play will challenge audiences about some of their prejudices. “In this case, the focus is on size but it could just as effectively Briana Dunn is appearing as the librarian Helen in Fat Pig, a play that looks at our obsession with appearance. tackle sexuality, religion or colour,” he said. “Of course, the title would need to be changed for those. “But it really is about moving past that first impression and getting to know the individual.

  • PATRIARCHY and the WIZARD of OZ by Andrea J. Chalfin This Paper
    ABSTRACT PAYING ATTENTION TO THE MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN: PATRIARCHY AND THE WIZARD OF OZ by Andrea J. Chalfin This paper deals with the social situations and gender codes that led to the production and subsequent mass consumption of the 1939 MGM film, The Wizard of Oz. The central issue of the analysis is the way in which the film serves to support social gender codes. By outlining patriarchal control in the film industry and utilizing an ideological and theoretical backdrop, The Wizard of Oz fits the mold of a “woman’s film.” Its recuperative qualities serve to reinforce social gender roles of patriarchal control for the audience as well as Dorothy, and the battle between good and evil is actually an illustration of proper and improper behavior for women, as defined by patriarchal society. With Dorothy as the negotiator between the two, her journey is about learning her proper role and realizing there really is “no place like home,” a physical locality to which she is now happily bound.
