Milking the cows. He also had built a new house, to replace the old house that carried Dorothy and Toto away to the land of Oz, in a cyclone.
An explanation that she and Toto are back from the land of Oz and that she is glad to be back home with Aunt Em is the last quote by Dorothy in "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz."Specifically, Dorothy Gale is transported by the power of the silver slippers to the part of the Kansas prairie where Uncle Henry replaces the farmhouse lost in the cyclone that carries Dorothy and her pet dog Toto into Oz. Uncle Henry is milking the cows, and the author gives no indication as to whether he sees Dorothy or hears Toto barking. But Aunt Em comes out to water the cabbages, sees Dorothy and asks as to her whereabouts. Dorothy answers, "From the Land of Oz. And here is Toto, too. And oh, Aunt Em! I'm so glad to be at home again!"
The initial, main crisis in both the book and the 1939 film versions of The Wizard of Oz is the challenge of Dorothy and her pet dog Toto being lost and needing to find their way back home to Uncle Henry and Aunt Em.
Dorothy was an orphan. Author and Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum [May 15, 1856-May 5, 1919] gave no information about Dorothy's parents. The only information that he gave were the names of the people whom she knew as family: Uncle Henry and Aunt Em.
The problem in 'The Wonderful Wizard of Oz' is getting Dorothy Gale and her pet dog Toto back home to Kansas. A cyclone carries the family farmhouse in which Dorothy seeks shelter, to the beautiful, enchanted, magical lands of Oz. Dorothy makes friends with the Tin Woodman, the Scarecrow, and the Cowardly Lion. She has many adventures, both exciting and terrifying. But she just wants to get back home to Uncle Henry and Aunt Em.
The thought that she may not get back home is what depresses Dorothy in "The Wizard of Oz."Specifically, Dorothy Gale wants to get back home to her family and life in Kansas. She is worried about her Uncle Henry and Aunt Em and as much as she likes her new friends in Oz, she ultimately does not fit in. Her depression gets worse when she is the prisoner of the Wicked Witch of the West and when the Wizard's balloon takes off for Kansas without her and her pet dog Toto.
Almira Gulch was the woman who objected to Toto, Dorothy's pet dog. She had orders to remove Toto from the farmhouse where Dorothy Gale lived with Uncle Henry and Aunt Em. Gulch had Toto put in the basket behind the seat to her bicycle. As she pedaled off, however, Toto managed to jump out and run back to Dorothy.
No last name is given for Auntie Em in either the original 1900 book version or the beloved 1939 film version of 'The Wizard of Oz'. All that author and Oz book series originator Lyman Frank Baum [May 15, 1856-May 6, 1919] lets his audience know is that Auntie Em's niece Dorothy has the last name of Gale. But we don't know if that's her biological or foster parents' last name. Neither does Baum let his audience know if the blood relationship is between Dorothy and Aunt Em, or between Dorothy and Uncle Henry.Subsequently in the Oz book series, Uncle Henry says that, like mother like daughter, Dorothy is a dreamer. That seems to indicate that the blood relationship is between Dorothy and her uncle. But we still don't know whether the name Gale is Dorothy's mother's married name or if it's Uncle Henry's name.
Opening OzThe opening line of the book "The Wizard of Oz" is the following: Dorothy lived in the midst of the great Kansas prairies, with Uncle Henry, who was a farmer, and Aunt Em, who was the farmer's wife.
Dorothy Gale was in the hot air balloon with the Wizard and with her pet dog Toto. The three were planning to use the balloon to get back home to Kansas and Omaha, Nebraska. But Toto jumped out, Dorothy followed, and the two didn't get back in before the balloon took off. Only the Wizard therefore left Oz by balloon. Dorothy ended up using the magic power of the Wicked Witch of the East's slippers to get back home to Uncle Henry and Aunt Em.
Home is what Kansas stands for in "The Wizard of Oz."Specifically, Kansas is the place where Dorothy Gale lives with her Uncle Henry and Aunt Em and with her pet dog Toto. Dorothy and Toto are inside the family farmhouse when it is uprooted by a tornado and carried over the rainbow and into the beautiful, enchanted, magical lands of Oz. Dorothy finds her adventures in Oz both entertaining and threatening and therefore just wants to get back to family and home in Kansas.
