This quote really relates to one of the many important qualities Harriet Tubman had to have to carry out the successful plans she did.
The Wizard of Oz is a musical about a young girl, named Dorothy, who lives on a farm in Kansas. She desperately wants to get away, and decides to run away from home. After she meets a peddler who convinces her to go back home, she ends up going back home to find a “cyclone” heading right for her house. Dorothy, her dog, Toto, and her house
“The home is where the heart is”-Pliny the Elder. Perry Patetic in his passage claims that it is too easy to move away, the public lacks the close supportive relationships that the former generation enjoyed. The author supports his position by first illustrating that our “fast-moving society” makes it too easy to flee from family, close friends, and the “places of the past”; he continues by sharing with us some examples of the disadvantages.
Instead of staying safe, she left to rescue family and non-family. This was a huge risk because the reward for her was a HUGE amount. She didn’t let that bother her as it did with her brothers. She believed that every slave should be free and equal so she made many more trips to rescue people. But then the law made it slightly more difficult for Harriet.
Harriet had nothing except a small piece of paper with the name and location of a ‘safe house’ she was to find, but she was filled with hope. (Michals) She traveled precariously by night, following the stars; and if there were no stars, she followed the river; and if she could not see the river, she would listen for it as she navigated the darkness. She successfully found the house and was welcomed by anti-slavery supporters who quickly hid her in a wagon and transported her to her next location. Harriet perilously moved from safe house to safe house until she finally crossed the Mason-Dixon line.

The journey to the land Oz and to Wonderland have a similar beginning. Dorothy’s journey begins after a cyclone hits Kansas and whirls her house through the air while she is still in it. Dorothy’s experience through the cyclone is described as, “very dark, and the wind howled horribly around her, but Dorothy found she was riding quite easily…” and eventually “hour after hour passed away, and slowly Dorothy got over her fright; but she felt quite lonely…” (Baum 6). Dorothy’s emotions and feelings through the cyclone exemplifies human nature, although at first things might have been frightening for her, as the hours passed she began to feel less afraid and lonely because she was entering this new realm all on her own without her guardians, Uncle
The Witch informed Dorothy that her house landed on the Wicked Witch of the East and killed her, thus setting the Munchkins free from their long slavery under her command. Dorothy was horrified to hear that she had killed someone, but she was given a present of the Witch 's silver slippers. She asked how she could get home and the Witch told her she would do best to ask the powerful Wizard of Oz who lived in the Emerald

The use of stylistic techniques such as sound, both diegetic and nondiegetic and the way characters act in The Wizard of Oz, showcases the conventions of a musical fantasy. In the scene where Dorothy sang her solo of “Somewhere over the Rainbow” ” is interwoven in the narrative of the film to illustrate and her underlying intention to flee away from home without her having to put it across in words to the audience. The tune of the song is tweaked and reproduced with variances and used throughout the film to highlight pivotal moments in the film, lending familiarity to us, channelling the same kind of hopefulness that Dorothy is feeling. The rhythm of the song also complements the musical film which accentuates the development of the narrative (Study Guide).
In The Wizard of Oz by Victor Fleming, 1939, specifically during the beginning scene, Dorothy was in sync with the setting. Dorothy was in the proper placement of the props around her, adding to the feelings of her reflecting the place she is in. The background eluded to the idea that she is far away from the golden spherical instrument that 's supposed to hold a globe, on the window sill in the background. There 's also an interesting painting below the window sill, it 's a golden band of boxes; this could be the representation of how Dorothy is gonna get to where she 's going, the yellow brick road. However, the crystal ball seems to be the most prominent part of the scene, the contrast of Dorothy 's position enhanced the feeling to the viewer that Dorothy is scared and alone.
She felt “light and good in the warm sun” (L8). To her young and inexperienced mind, “nothing existed for her but her song,” (L8) which just goes to show how oblivious and careless she is to her surroundings and worlds greater than her own. On the contrary, as she made her way a “mile or more from home,” (L23) she began to hit a turning point. The comfortable world at which she knew is now cracked open and unguarded.
After Dorothy wakes up, and as she is helping the Tin Man, the scene once again zooms back out to the Wicked Witch and her crystal, before dissolving back to the group once more as they continue on their
