Dorothy receives protection from the Wicked Witch of the West by Glinda in the form of the ruby slippers that were worn by the dead Witch of the East. As long as she wears the slippers, Dorothy will be safe.’’ Kay paused here and looked around at the class before continuing. ‘’Dorothy is sent along the yellow brick road by Glinda to find the Wizard of Oz and get his help to return to Kansas. Along the way, Dorothy overcomes a few obstacles and meets a talking, a tin and a cowardly lion, who also are unsatisfied with their lives and need to find the Emerald City where Oz lives. They believe that he will give them each what they desire. Instead, the Wizard sends them on a quest to retrieve the broomstick of Wicked Witch of the West.’’ Here, the woman took another pause. She wasn’t boring the class, was she? “Now, Dorothy and her friends overcome the Wicked Witch when Dorothy threw a bucket of water on her which caused her to melt into a puddle of green goo. In the end, Glinda reveals that Dorothy could have always returned home by clicking the heels of her ruby slippers while repeating the words ‘There’s no place like home.’ Dorothy awakens her bedroom in Kansas surrounded by family and tells them of her adventure. Everyone laughs and tells her it was all a bad dream with the exception Uncle Henry.’’ That brought her to the end of that summary! “Whether it really was an adventure or a dream, that’s for the audience to decide.’’ Kay personally felt it was a dream.

She moved to towards the whiteboard, grabbing a purple marker from her desk in the process.

Those not familiar, kindly listen to your classmates.’’[/B]

Jonas blushed as the professor heard him snickering. Whoops. Well, at least house points weren't taken away.
Not sure which one I would like better. Flying bubbles or flying cars? But he kept that thought to himself.
