A new perspective
Thoughts on “The Wizard of Oz,” courtesy of my friend Adam:
How is it that Dorothy doesn’t have a broom? She brought he entire house. Doesn’t Auntie Em have a broom? And if she had a broom, maybe Glinda could bewitch it. Then she wouldn’t have to follow the yellow brick road.
Think about it.
1) The journey is the point, Adam. Remember, she could have gone home at the very beginning using the ruby slippers, but she had to learn about herself first.
2) In Oz, only bad witches ride brooms. Good witches catch the nearest ginormous soap bubble.
