    The Wizard of Oz: an Exploration of the Connections to the Populist Movement

    The Scarecrow is Dorothy’s first friend in Oz. He is meant to be a symbol for the western farmer. Several opinions of Kansas’ farmers were present in the late 19th century. One was brought up in the Emporia Gazette in August of 1896 when William Allen White presented the article What’s the Matter with Kansas? In this he brings about the question of when every other country in the United States is gaining in all ways, why it is that Kansas has gone in the opposite direction and has a deficit in everything. The Scarecrow characterizes the Kansas farmer because he doesn’t think that he is enabled with the characteristics that were in actuality his best. The Scarecrow did not think he was intelligent and when proposing an idea to the group he wasn’t…

    Similarities Between The Wizard Of Oz And The Populist Era

    The book, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, was always thought to be a child’s tale, a “modernized fairy tale” until Henry M. Littlefield wrote an article about how The Wizard of Oz was actually an allegory for the Populist era. Littlefield believed that each character and significant place in the book correlated with a person or place in the Populist era. L. Frank Baum wrote this children’s book as a political allegory, whether he intentionally did it we are not sure. However, the unwavering proof that there are connections between The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and the Populist era lead most people to believe that Baum was a political and social genius as he intertwined important people and places into a children’s book, masking the connection for many years.…

    The Scarecrow And The Tin Woodman Summary

    The Scarecrow’s not that bright, let’s face it. In The Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman, author L. Frank Baum develops his conflict around this major point. He creates this conflict using a simple diction, sparse imagery, a mocking, humorous tone, and more or less direct characterization of the Scarecrow as a foolish child. Finally, he uses this conflict to argue against the growing upper class, which in the early 1900s when The Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman was written was growing rapidly and contributing to a falling standard of living for the middle and lower classes.…

A stage further on in the journey is the Initiation while the last stage is known as the Freedom to Live. All three of the stages can be used to describe a specific time in Huck’s life.…

    The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

    The characters of the King and the Duke are most likely the most important after Huck and Jim in the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain. These two men come into Huck's story in chapter nineteen when he leaves the Grangerfords, a family who is fighting a continuous and everlasting war against their neighbors, the Shepherdsons. Huck sees the King and the Duke being chased by some dogs, and he decides to take them aboard the raft, which Huck and Jim are using to travel down the Mississippi River. Huck eventually realizes that the two men that he helped are con artists. Towards the end of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, the two phonies are tarred and feathered by a mob who was finally able to catch them. The punishment of the Duke and the King was suitable because the scams they performed were sickening, and they obviously were not bothered by what they did.…

Director Victor Fleming successfully carries out this transformation by use of vibrant color schemes, ornate set and scenery design, impeccable costuming, and captivatingly catchy soundtrack. Not to mention the brilliant acting of each and every cast member that makes suspension of disbelief an absolute breeze for anyone that views Wizard of Oz.…

    The Legend of Sleepy Hollow - Summary and Analysis

    Veracity in storytelling is a defining theme of “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.” The story is distantly removed from the reader—Crayon has found the story in Diedrich Knickerbocker’s papers, who is dead, and who at the end of the story writes that he heard it from an old gentleman, who claimed to not have even believed half of it himself, ultimately getting much of the story from primary or even other secondary sources. Thus, even where the story is told with confidence, the narrator has given us reasons to doubt evrything. We become critical readers, unlike Crane, who believes the ghost stories he reads.…

    This popular and well-documented reading sees The Wizard of Oz as being about the collapse of the Populist Movement in the United States at the turn of the twentieth century. In this scenario, Dorothy represents the common citizen, the Tin Man is the industrial worker, the Scarecrow is a stand-in for farmers, and the Cowardly Lion is politician William Jennings Bryan (seen by many at the time as being all talk and no action). They travel along the Yellow Brick Road (the gold standard) to see the Wizard, who could represent President Grover Cleveland or William McKinley. (“Oz” itself is the abbreviation for ounce, which is the standard for measuring gold. The green of the Emerald City represents the dollar.) The Wicked Witch of the East represents bankers, and the Wicked Witch of the West — who, remember, gets killed by water — is drought. This theory, first put forth in the sixties by a high-school teacher named Henry Littlefield (whose original essay you can read here), has since been debunked, yet still maintains a hold over many.*…
