From the Paper
" The Wizard of Oz, which made at MGM in 1939, is still on of the world?s favorite films. It has remained special because it visualizes its own unique world. It inspired many films that followed, from Star Wars to Close Encounters of the Third Kind, because it constructed its own universe: one that could be enjoyed by adults and children alike.
Others films have borrowed more noticeably and directly from The Wizard of Oz. The opening sequence of Martin Scorsese?s Alice Doesn?t Live Here Anymore shows the young Alice in a setting very much like Dorothy in the Kansas opener of Oz. The sci-fi epic Zardoz, directed by John Boorman, also borrows from the classic, starting with its title and the play (...)"

Abstract
This paper introduces and discusses "The Wizard of Oz". It offers an archetypal analysis of the movie from the viewpoint of Jung's theory of the collective unconscious. The paper offers quotes from the film to qualify points made.
From the Paper
"Dorothy's journey through Oz to find the Wizard, or "trickster," is a journey through a magical land filled with strange and wonderful creatures. It can also be seen as a very real journey through the Jungian philosophy. First, Dorothy must travel through an unreal or unconscious landscape in an attempt to return to her normal conscious state. The entire time in Oz is a dream sequence in the film, so Dorothy is literally exploring her unconscious mind from the moment she is hit on the head and goes to sleep. Her return home (waking up) is a return to her conscious self. "

Abstract
Almost four decades of history and innovations in media technology separate the text of L. Frank Baum's "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" (1899) and MGM's 1939 musical "The Wizard of Oz". Although the plot of the film is roughly comparable to that of the book, the filmmakers made a great many changes in their adaptation of the story. This essay argues the thesis that the changes and modifications between the text and the cinematic version represent more than just the efforts of the filmmakers to adapt the story to a different medium.

Abstract

This paper explores the facts and the myths that surround the cult like following of the phenomenon of synchronicity and what has been coined "The Dark Side of the Rainbow."
From the Paper

It wasn?t until March of 1997 that a Disk Jockey in Boston mentioned on the air that if you sync the sounds of Dark Side of the Moon with the picture of The Wizard of Oz that there are many synchronistic occurrences. It is the intention of this paper to explore the facts and the myths that surround the cult like following of the phenomenon of synchronicity and what has been coined The Dark side of the Rainbow."

"The Wonderful Wizard of Oz", 2008.
An examination of L. Frank Baum's connections to the populist party and his references to it in his classic novel, "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz."
2,500 words (approx. 10.0 pages), 10 sources, MLA, $ 75.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper analyzes the politics of the populist party that can be found within L. Frank Baum's classic novel, "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz." It provides a brief history and correlative analysis of the ideology of the populist party, in order to reveal Baum's influences in writing the plot for the novel. The paper also examines the correlation to Baum's own socialist ties with populist reform in the Midwest.
From the Paper
"In conclusion, the involvement of L. Frank Baum in the Populist Party Movement is a major facet of the plot and character structure in his novel: The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. The symbolic use of Dorothy and her companions seeking to find the Great Oz, so that they can free the people is paramount to Baum's own quest to garner better living conditions and governmental regulations on the banks that were closing down and confiscating farms all over the Midwest. In this manner, Baum offers a parable of the Populist Party struggle in the Wizard of Oz, but also provides biographical and societal information about his involvement and propagandistic agenda for writing this classic novel for the turn of the 19th century in America."

Abstract
This paper compares and analyzes "A Wrinkle of Time" and "The Wizard of Oz" and shows how both books attempt to broaden the stereotypical view of women by introducing us to two strong female protagonists Margaret 'Meg' Murray and Dorothy.
From the Paper
"The ability to be different and define ones own destiny are important literary components for a protagonist to possess. Meg, from A wrinkle In Time, is not like other girls her age. She is outspoken and not afraid to voice her own opinion. Meg's father has been absent from home for quite a while and it is causing emotional distress in her life. The townsfolk begin to murmur that her father has abandoned the family. She is determined to keep a stiff upper lip and not let others get the best of her. Meg states, "As long as she (Mother) says Father is coming home then I'll believe that." (L'engle p. 25) Even her school principal advises her that she'd "make a better adjustment to life if (she) faced facts." (L'engle p. 25) Adjusting to life is not what a protagonist does."

From the Paper
"L. Frank Baum created a magical place in his book The Wizard of Oz and in the many subsequent books he wrote about this fantastic land to which the Kansas farm girl, Dorothy, was transported by a tornado, and the film version of the book, made in 1939, offered a visualization of the creations of Baum in a colorful and appealing form. The film is different from the book in a number of ways, not only in terms of changes in the plot, but in terms of the accent placed on various ideas and in the way elements are dramatized. For one thing, of course, the movie is part musical, something never considered by Baum. Baum would likely have been favorably disposed to the movie given that he himself had written, produced, and directed several Oz films during the silent era. Baum wrote 13 Oz books, and the books were carried on after his death by others so that another 19..."

Comparison of "The Princess and the Goblin" and "The Wizard of Oz", 2002.
Explores the symbolic significance of vision and the importance of imagination in two famous children's tales.

Abstract
The thesis that will be argued is that in both texts sight/vision is used as a metaphor cautioning children about trusting everything that they see. Although the texts differ in the symbolic significance attached to sight/vision - with its depiction in "The Princess and the Goblin" having more obvious religious overtones - in both imagination is shown to be a more important quality in relating to those around us without prejudice than is pure vision.

"The Louisiana Purchase" by Thomas Fleming, 2005.
A review of the book "The Louisiana Purchase" by Thomas Fleming.

Abstract
This paper provides both a summary and an analysis of Thomas Fleming's book 'The Louisiana Purchase', a book detailing the history of the purchase of Louisiana by the United States. According to this paper, Fleming examines the process that led to the purchase of the Louisiana territory from its inception to the very end.
From the Paper
"The Louisiana Purchase added over 830,000 square miles of land to the territory possessed by the United States, virtually doubling the country's size. The land that was added would eventually be divided into a number of the current southern, Midwestern, and western states. Such an extensive addition to a country does not happen overnight, nor can it happen without collaboration between many people. The Louisiana Purchase was no exception. Thomas Fleming's book, 'The Louisiana Purchase', looks at many, if not all, of the factors that went into this massive undertaking."

Thomas Fleming's "The Purchase of Louisiana", 2007.
This paper is a book report describing Thomas Fleming's "The Purchase of Louisiana", which details the diplomacy and rivalry surrounding President Thomas Jefferson's success in obtaining the Louisiana territory.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper states that Thomas Fleming's strong research in preparation to writing "The Louisiana Purchase" indicated that the United States wanted to gain control over access to the Mississippi River to be able to ship goods through to Spain and to provide safe harbor for American ships servicing the southern states. The author points out that Fleming argues that possibly Napoleon was willing to sell the Louisiana territory because he was more interested in diverting his attention to the unconquered areas of Egypt and India rather than the undeveloped areas of Louisiana. The paper stresses that the Louisiana Purchase was a victory with the rival French, established the U.S. as a world power and gave Americans a vast new and different land in which to acquire new lifestyles.
From the Paper
"It is obvious from the book that after the "Quasi War" or the undeclared war with France, relations were at a definite strain. These battles fought only at sea and lasted from 1798 to 1800. The tensions manifested themselves with France when they began seizing American ships and goods that were trading with the British. The hostilities between the U.S. and France became a major cause of frictions and physical confrontations primarily due to the greed over land and power that permeated the world at the time."

Abstract
In the 21st century, James Bond has become synonymous with fast cars, stiff drinks, high stakes and beautiful women. He is the quintessential British hero - men want to be him, and women want to be with him. This paper looks at how upon closer examination of Ian Fleming's 1958 novel, "Doctor No", it appears that Bond is not the perfect embodiment of the Alpha Male as we have come to regard him. It discusses how "Doctor No" shows thinly veiled homosexual anxieties in the relationship between Bond and Honeychile Rider.
From the Paper
"James Bond is illustrated as a product of the British Public School system. Tony Bennett and Janet Woolacott, writers of Bond and Beyond, determine this from 'Bond's relationship to M [which] carries with it some of the nuances of public school 'fagging', fear, respect and admiration.' Ian Fleming's own education at Eton hints at the source of homosexual anxieties implicit in Doctor No. In Hugo Williams' commentary on Fleming, Williams remembers his own Eton days, 'having to cook sausages over an open fireplace for some older boy.' This insinuation at the same sex domesticity between the boys at Eton - where the younger boy is presumably the wife, the older boy the husband - is rehearsed throughout Doctor No."

About Benjamin Franklin
When Benjamin Frankilin was 22 years old, in 1728, he wrote his own epitaph: "The body of Benjamin Franklin, Printer (like the cover of an old book, its contents torn out and stripped of its lettering and gilding), lies here, food for worms; but the work shall not be lost, for it will (as he believed) appear once more in a new and more elegant edition, revised and corrected by the Author" (Bartletts 117).

About Benjamin Franklin
When Benjamin Frankilin was 22 years old, in 1728, he wrote his own epitaph: "The body of Benjamin Franklin, Printer (like the cover of an old book, its contents torn out and stripped of its lettering and gilding), lies here, food for worms; but the work shall not be lost, for it will (as he believed) appear once more in a new and more elegant edition, revised and corrected by the Author" (Bartletts 117).
