The Wicked Witch is Alive!

“There’s no place like home. There’s no place like home. There’s no place like home.” (The Wizard of Oz)

Is Elphaba home? She is now in the territory of her secret lover, but the circumstances are different. When she had last seen Fiyero, it was seven years age, and he was last mentioned in the book as being beat up by the Gale Forcers. Could their relationship have changed based on that factor rather than the drastic time change? Or how is their relationship going to be perused, presuming that they still have some form of relationship, now that Fiyero’s wife is in the picture? When they were last together, his wife was far away and the only change that she was going to find out about the relationship was if someone had found out and told her. Other wise she would not have known.

One last question from English Class:

What is you favourite character…because…

My favourite character is Boq because I loved her perseverance throughout his rejection with Glinda. He was so strong and did not give up on what he wanted. Although the times change and he lost his crush on her, he was still able to have a functioning friendship with her. He was also so helpful with Elphie, and everyone he encountered. He was also willing to put in the time and the effort to help find the murderer of Doctor Dillamond. For those reasons, that is why he my favourite.

I also think that him being a Munchkinland would make him shorter than the rest of the characters, so it is easy to think of him a smaller brother. (No pun intended) I enjoy visualizing what his character would be doing in the descriptive sections of the book. Not only the sections he was in but the tougher situations that other characters are in. such as, travelling to the Vinkus. If it were not for the Caravan, they would be walking everywhere, and seeing how Boq would be walking slower than everyone else and him falling behind would make him want to walk faster and persevere.
