A great example of something in the real world that relates well with this topic is Dorothea Lange. She is a women of the early 1900’s and she is famous for her amazing pre WWII pictures. Attached is a photo of two young boys that would have been what riding by on the carriage with Glinda and Elphie would have been like ("History Place") The distant stares from people wishes to be with you on the carriage, or somewhere else. As well as the poverty and the poor quality of life everyone has.
Once in Emerald City, the girls realise that there are no Animals around anywhere. When they demand to see the Wizard, they see a skeleton that is dancing gin the rain. Nothing similar to a scary green face with flames and fog. They state their problems and essentially are told to leave, not come back, mind your own damn business, talk to some one who cares, and “Beware of whom you serve.” (Maguire 177)
Glinda wants to go back to Shiz, but Elphie decides to stay in Emerald City to join a underground resistance movement. Glinda decides to continue on her journey and go home. They say goodbye. Glinda felt as though her heart has been ripped out.
