They skip across the yellow brick
road
Arm in arm together they go
With obstacles and witches clearly
ahead
They ignore the warnings about what
the others said
Her ruby slippers give her some
protection
With them on, they won’t face
rejection
All they need is to travel to the
wizard of oz
Journal Entry: 9-20-2010
My mom asks me; don’t you think
you’re getting a little too old to have
all this wizard of oz stuff in your
room? My reply is “no”. I don’t know
why I am so in love with this story.
Could it be because of the upbeat
songs, or the ruby slippers? Or the
fact that Dorothy gets to leave her
world for just a short while and go
somewhere new, somewhere that no
one else has ever been to. I’m not
sure that I will ever stop collecting
items from the Wizard of Oz. It is
apart of who I am.
Until next time,
Morgan
In hopes that he can fix their flaws
But Dorothy doesn’t want those fixed
Her hope is to go home, that’s her
only wish

I woke up to a place called Munchkin
Land
I was confused and tired; this wasn’t
what I’d planned
This place wasn’t Kansas,
That I was sure of
It was a place I’d come to like
But one I’d never love
I was told to follow the yellow brick
road to Emerald City
Here I would meet an Oz who felt no
pity
To get back home I had to kill the
witch of the west
Why was this so complicated?
I just wanted to go home to Kansas
and rest
Interview with Dorothy Gale
Interviewer: Dorothy, how did you
come to be in our land?
Dorothy: Well sir, I was in my home
and all of a sudden a rush of wind
twirled it up in the air and I landed
here. Oh please sir, I just want to go
home!
Interviewer: There, there. We just
need to get some answers. Why did
you kill the Witch of the East?
Dorothy: Oh I didn’t mean to kill
anybody! The house accidently
landed on her, and the good witch of
the north gave me her slippers to
help me on the journey to Emerald
City.
Interviewer: I see, I see. How do
you plan on getting home, to this socalled place named Kansas?
Dorothy: Sir, I plan to ask for the
Wizard of Oz’s help! I’ve been told
he is the best wizard from miles
around. Can you take me there?
Please!
Interviewer: Dorothy Gale, I give
you permission to travel to Emerald
City, but you must get there yourself.
Follow Glinda’s directions, and follow
the yellow brick road.

Home surrounded by family
Dear Diary,
I am home safe in my room with my
loving dog Toto. Although my wish
came true to be home again, I miss the
beautiful Land of Oz. It sounds
strange, but the farm boys were there
with me. They were not their normal
selves. They each played a character;
the scarecrow, tin man, and cowardly
lion. It makes me happier than ever to
know that the Wicked Witch of the
West can no longer find me. We
destroyed her at the end of our
journey. My opinion of home has
changed so much. I took for granted
how important it was to me. Well, I - I
think that it - it wasn't enough to
just want to see Uncle Henry and
Auntie Em - and it's that - if I ever
go looking for my heart's desire
again, I won't look any further than
my own back yard. Because if it
isn't there, I never really lost it to
begin with!
With love,
Dorothy Gale
