Social realism films depict the social, political and economic injustices’ that influence and impact people in society (Taylor, 2006).

Rick Riordan once said, "No one can hate you with more intensity than someone who used to love you" (Riordan). This quote relates well to the poem, Love Song by Dorothy Parker because it talks about a woman who hates a man she once loved.

The film begins with Dorothy and her beloved dog Toto (played by film star dog Terry) running from Miss Gulch the owner of a neighboring

funny because the entire audience went, “ Awwwww”. That dog was the most calm dog I have ever seen. Dorothy was holding that dog from like half of the show and it didn’t jump out of her arms or bark. When the witch took the dog, and the dog came back it didn’t run anywhere but back to Dorothy. My only complaint about the dog is that if felt like

foils to Dorothy, the main character. Toto, The Scarecrow, The Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion reflect on Dorothy as her reminder of home, intelligence, heart, and courage. Toto, Dorothy’s dog, is the only belonging that travels with her on her journey through Oz.

This represents Toto’s character foil of Dorothy as her reminder of home, because he prompts Dorothy to remember

Witch told Dorothy that she had to figure out what “it” was for herself. However, as the audience it was a bit confusing as to what “it” actually was.

However, Glinda the Good Witch arrives to tell her some shocking news. The Witch said, “You don’t need to be helped any longer.

Wonderful Wizard of Oz”. We all know the story of the lovely Dorothy and her crew saving the magical Oz from the Wicked Witch of the West. But, in Danielle Paige’s book, Dorothy Must Die, Oz has became a world of chaos where Munchkins are enslaved, trees aren’t allow to be happy, the Pond of Truth tells lies, and animals were punished for no reason.

After reading the Wizard of Oz, I have found quite a lot of themes from the book. Here are the themes I am going to be mainly focusing on: 1) There is no place like home During a tornado in Kansas, Dorothy (the main character) gets transported into a completely different world from Kansas.
