Boq Part 4

Over the course of the summer, Boq and his friends; Crope and Tibbett, have assisted Elphie in her work with Doctor Dillamond. Through his research, the students were able to make connections with some events that happened in the Land of Oz. •Boq studied a Unionist myth that said the Unnamed God cried over the doomed land of Oz, and the animals who swallowed his tears became ‘Animals.’ Elphie studied a myth that stated a Kumbric Witch urinated over the Land of oz, and the animals who swam in it became ‘Animals.’ Towards the end of the chapter, Elphie is scared by a robot type machine. She refers to him as; “Grommetik” (Maguire 116)
