If a person doesn’t even trust itself anymore, then one is really lost. In this story, at first Dorothy is afraid of herself because she thinks that when she kills the Wicked Witch of East she is just lucky. When she knows that to go home she needs to kill the Wicked Witch of West she thinks that she can’t do it. Same for the other three. They all think that they are not good enough, the scarecrow thinks that he doesn’t have a brain so he is stupid. The tin woodman thinks that he doesn’t have a heart or he has no feeling, and the lion thinks that he has no courage so he is afraid of everything. And when they believe that, everyone believes that they are like that even when they are actually not. So, if one doesn’t trust itself, no one will trust one and no one can help one. But if one believes in themselves, even when others don’t, one will be strong from one’s heart.
There is no absolute good nor bad. No one is always bad and no one is always good. The Wicked Witch of West is not absolutely bad, and the Great Oz is not that good too. At first the Wicked Witch of West catches Dorothy just because she kills her sister but then she sees the silver shoes and because it has a very strong power so she wants it. This shows that the Wicked Witch of West is not that bad but she is drunk with power. For the Great Oz, He is not as good as he looks. When he knows that Dorothy kills the Wicked Witch of East he doesn’t want to let Dorothy go home but he forces her to stay and help him kill the Wicked Witch of West too. This all shows that no one is born to be bad or good and there is a saying, put oneself in somebody’s shoes you’ll find that they might not be who you think they are.
Friendship is not just one play with others but one can give one’s back to the others. It means that one trusts the other so much and one can understand each other, that is friendship. The friendship between Dorothy, the scarecrow, the tin woodman, and the lion is like that. Dorothy and them trust each other and because of that even when they don't have magic like the Wicked Witch of West. They show that they trust each other when the scarecrow says the idea to rescue Dororthy and when the tin woodman feels sad also when the lion does his best to scare away the Wicked Witch of West’s subordinates. Even when they think that they can’t do it but when their friends need their help they will always do their best and break through themselves. Real friends are not who just play with you, but can learn things from each other and understand each other.
Home is the warmest place, there are people I love and people that love me. Family is something that can never be substituted. Even when Dorothy has such an exciting adventure at Oz, she still wants to go home and live with her Aunt and Uncle because the love that they gave to Dorothy can never be given by others. Dorothy loves them and she knows that they love her too. Also, not all warm and sweet families need to be related to blood. Even though people are not related by blood but as long as they love each other and care for them they can feel it and feel the sweetness and love.
