INTRODUCTION
L.FRANK.BAUM was born in New York, USA. He wanted to write a fairy tale that is not too frightening. The Wizard Of Oz, published in 1900, is the first in
his series of Oz stories.
THE WIZARD OF OZ
Won three Academy Awards, and was nominated for best Picture of the Year
STORY BACKGROUND
The story, by L. Frank Baum, was partly inspired by Baum's childhood love of Grimm's Fairy Tales and partly by his desire to provide his four young sons with something a little more exciting to read than the ponderous fiction available at the turn of the century in the United States
STORY BACKGROUNDTHE WIZARD OF OZ has empathetic
characters who serve as archetypes for society. From the Cowardly Lion, to the
Wicked Witch, to Dorothy who learns that "there is no place like home,"
Baum himself was a colorful man who was said to have taken the word "Oz" from a
filing cabinet drawer labeled O-Z. His inspiration for the character of the
Scarecrow also had a real-life source the old-time fairy tale, having served for
generations, may now be classed as 'historical' in the children's library; with all the horrible and blood curdling incidents
devised by their authors to point a fearsome moral to each tale. Modern education
includes morality;Having this thought in mind, the story of 'The Wonderful Wizard of Oz' was written
solely to pleasure children of today. It aspires to being a modernized fairy tale, in which the wonder and joy are retained and
the heartaches and nightmares are left out.”
OBJECTIVES
• Giving them the full knowledge about the author, the background of the story and characters.
• Encourage individual reading.
• Enable them to compare and contrast the characters and their problems with the society they are living in.
• Help them to understand the importance of a true friend.
PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE
Dorothy lives on a small farm in Kansas with Aunt Em and Uncle Henry. When a cyclone hits, Dorothy and her dog, Toto, are carried away in the farmhouse. They
land in a strange place where a good witch and tiny people called Munchkins greet them. Dorothy’s house has landed on (and killed) the Wicked Witch of the
East. Dorothy takes the Wicked Witch’s charmed silver shoes, and the good witch gives her a protective kiss on her forehead so she can reach Oz safely.
Dorothy hopes that the Wizard of Oz will be able to send her back to Kansas, so she sets off on the yellow brick road.
Soon, Dorothy and Toto meet the Scarecrow. He desperately wants a brain, so he accompanies them on their trip. Next, they meet the Tin Woodman, who tells his story of how he was once human and how he longs to have a heart again. Dorothy tells him that the Wizard of Oz can help, so the Tin Woodman joins them. As they make their way through a forest, they encounter the Cowardly Lion. Although he initially tries to frighten them, he admits that he is a coward
and wishes he had the courage that the King of the Beasts should have. He joins the travelers, hoping that the Wizard of Oz can help him, too. The travelers meet
many dangers on the yellow brick road, such as ditches, a river, and terrifying creatures.
SYMBOLISM
Poppies have long been used as a symbol of both sleep and death: sleep because of the opium extracted from them, and death because of the common blood-red color of the red poppy in particular. . This symbolism was evoked in the children's novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, in which a magical poppy field threatened to make the protagonists to sleep forever
