Wizard of Oz
The Wizard of Oz is one of the most famous stories that became infamous in early films. There is a lot of hidden messages in the film and book that relate to a normal life. Dorthy learned a lesson about running away from family and how you may never realize how much one will miss something until it is gone. When sent through the vortex and ended up in another dimension gave Dorthy the feeling of maby never being able to make it home  compaired to early on in the novel when she was running away in Kansas, where should would be able to turn around and go straight home. Dorthy was forced into an adventure to find her way back home, but like many adventures Dorthy meet many encountered many locals of OZ. The locals were not just humans but creatures of another dimension such as the tin man and lion, and scarecrow, which are said to have resembled the early figures on the farm and stand out and symbols. Dorthy is faced to commit murder against an evil witch in order to get back home, because Dorthy will do what ever it takes to make it back home. Once Dorthy makes it back home she realizes normal like is back in reality and misses the OZ not knowing if it was real or just a dream she had when she got knocked out during the tornado. 

Phaedrus response

Response

This play write is a constant conversation between Socrates and Phaedrus, which revolves around Greek world and touching the subject of love. Yet Socrates and Phaedrus never quite agree on anything that is questioned. Phaedrus is not in love with Socrates even though they were pre arranged to be lovers by their elders. “(Phaedrus) -this affair may be arranged for the advantage of both of us. And I maintain that I ought not to fail in my suit, because I am not your lover: for lovers repent of the kindnesses which they have shown when their passion ceases” This is what brings up the whole subject about true love and erotic love and how their society is based on a system that doesn’t work with the natural flow of love and leaves people like them to repent and run away with others that have gained their heart. They decide that non-lovers may be able to retain a friendship even if in marriage but will still retain a sexual since they are already meant to be together but will it effect their future finding true love. Once one sees beauty and having a soul partner instead of a pre arranged partner was considered more beautiful than the heavens and was greatly respected even though people had to live these fake romantic lives to satisfy their society. At the end of this they both agree that friends will have all things in common and they both walked away with an agreement on their future life of being friends.

1st

as a writer it is important to build an image in ones mind through words. To me its a way to create emotions and imagery to catch a viewers mind. my writing is simple compared to ancient writings. its my way of communication to far away places other than a cell phone unless one uses text. which reminds me of ancient clay scripture except digitally modernized.
