Does "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" have a hidden message? – David B. Parker | ข่าวสารล่าสุดเกี่ยวกับ dia ย่อมาจาก

The story was & is a great teaching tool. Students know the Oz story so well that if give background of the Populist era the group

No it doesnt and Littlefield just made all this stuff up…very evident if you know Baum's bio and read his Aberdeen newspaper editorials… saved yalls some time.

Here's how complex the Wizard of Oz can be::
Upon entering the Emerald City, visitors have to put on green glasses least the green glare of all the emeralds "blind" them.
The curious side effect of those glasses is that it makes everything look green, like it was all made out of emeralds.
So is it the glasses that make the Emerald City green or does the Emerald City make the glasses necessary? No one will take the glasses off to find out because that's the way they live, under direct orders no matter how silly.
I think Baum's "innocent children's story" comment is on the direct plot, he never said there wasn't social commentary on the side. Just starting with "East, West are wicked but North and South are good" is ripe with post Civil War commentary…. with Kansas/Emerald City right smack in the middle of that, both in geography and politics.

a little boring

I thought that Bryan was the Wizard…

Baum was German-American (his surname comes from the German word for tree), and his stories clearly have a strong Germanic influence. The Munchkins' name has a clear resemblance to "menschchen," German for "little people." And Glinda, the Good Witch of the South, brings to mind the Wagnerian soprano role Sieglinde.

Ever heard of the enneagram system of dividing people into nine types? It occurred to me that the book's main characters fit into these categories! And so do the characters in the Winnie the Pooh stories…

Performer: Dorothy/Rabbit
Loyalist: Toto/Roo
Caregiver: Good Witch of the North/Kanga
Observer: Scarecrow/Owl
Enthusiast: Tin Man/Tigger
Individualist: Lion/Eeyore
Mediator: Wizard/Pooh
Challenger: Wicked Witch of the West/Christopher Robin
Reformer: Good Witch of the South/Piglet

theres always more than one way to interpret the content (obviously)
i think the point is not about what the author's intention originally was, but what people learn from their own interpretions

The united States of America is in a TRUST. That trust was the Gettysburg address. It's a TRUST. And the united States of America was always in debt to the crown. Always.

Kansas:
God created people
People created states government based on God’s laws.
These states created a government called The united States of America.
OZ:
Some in government created UNITED STATES corp.
THE UNITED STATES created STATES like FL, TN, ect. (Capital F L = corporate state. Fla = real state of Florida)
It also created PERSONS like ETHAN WHITE.

The person they created is called a straw man. No brain, just a piece of paper, this person represent ETHAN WHITE, but it’s in all capital letters. That person was created via the birth certificate. When your parents got a birth certificate for you, the hospitals go about nuts if you try to leave without getting a birth certificate. They are really under pressure to get those birth certificates, because the birth certificate creates an artificial person, when that artificial person is created, then the birth certificate is worth some money, it can be barter or sold and traded like commodity on the international market. And the president can say, “ man we got x million new people in the United States born this year, we can borrow more money now against their birth certificates” The straw man become for collateral for the national debt. The banks can say we will loan you more money but we want these birth certificates, because we just want to own and control these “PERSONS” and we will collect taxes off of them. A birth certificate is unnecessary to obtain, and you should not get one for your children when their born, you can register the birth and notify them that this child was born.

WRONG. Like cmon this guy didn’t even
mention the 3 main characters. Straw man= corporate soul/ artificial person
Tin man = Kommers/ heartless if you can’t make it, then too bad. cowardly lion = England/ the country that knew what was going on but was afraid to say anything

深度解析啊！

Anyway it is the most silly story I ever heard. The movie is even worse.

Did he predicted the rise of Pink Floyd? The music that heals people :)

They didn't try to add silver, they tried to return the gold standard back to the original gold silver standard that was destroyed in 1873.

Getting up at 12 go to work at one take an hour for lunch

Adults should learn to keep their silly politics out of our sensible fairy tales until they grow up.
