Q#2) Which character do you like the most? Why?
A: My favorite character is the Scarecrow. I like the Scarecrow because he is funny in a way. He has that clumsy, bumbling baffon like personality to him. He is also made out of straw and yet he can still walk. I just find that a little wird because straw can not support a mans legs. I don't know, maybe that is just me.
Q#3) The movie takes place in a few different settings: The farm in Kansas, Munchkin Land, the Yellow Brick Road, Emerald City and the witch’s castle. Choose one setting and describe it. Describe one scene that takes place in the setting you chose.
A: The farm in Kansas is Dorothy's home and her family's home. In the film, the setting is like any typical farm. There is the main house, the barn, animal stables and wheelbarrows. Although, before Dorothy lands in Munchkin Land, the color is a sepia type of color. One scene that takes place on the farm is when the tornado comes. Dorothy feels that she is not being heard by her parents, so, she goes to the guy with a circus because she wants to run away. But the circus guy shows Dorothy her fortune, in a crystal ball, and her fortune was that her mother was ill. So being concerned, Dorothy runs back home and while that is going on, a twister starts to come her way in the distance. Dorothy's family ran to the safety bunker because Dorothy was not home yet and the family could not find her. She runs to the safety bunker doors, but she can not open them, not knowing that her family is in there. Dorothy eventually gets through the gate and she starts to go into the house to look for her family. She can not find anybody and ends up in her room. She gets knocked out by something and she is unconscious for a second or two. She then sees her house in the tornado and also sees various people she knows flying in the tornado. The tornado eventually flies back down to the ground and it lands in Munchkin Land. This is when she then gets introduced to the munchkins and The Good Witch Of The West.
