Does Dorothy tap silver slippers in The Wizard of Oz?

Answer 1

Three is the number of times that Dorothy must tap her heels together to go home in "The Wizard of Oz."

Specifically, the number is the same in the original 1900 book edition and the beloved 1939 film version of "The Wizard of Oz." What differs is the accompanying words. In the book, Dorothy says "Take me home to Aunt Em!" In the movie, she says "There's no place like home."

Answer 2

Yes, in the book the author that wrought the book was using the characters to represent objects and people and the events that were going on at that time. For example the yellow brick road represented the gold standard, the silver slippers represented the silver standard, Dorothy represented the United States, the Scarecrow represented the Midwestern farmers, the tinman represented eastern industrial workers, the cowardly lion represented William Jennings Brian, toto represented immigrants, The Wizard of oz represented Wiliam Mckinley and Mark Hanna, the Wicked witch of the east represented banker bosses, the wicked with of the west represented railroad owners, and the winged monkeys represented the plains indians.

Answer 3

Knock in the book and tap in the movie are what Glinda the Good Witch tells Dorothy to do with her heels in "The Wizard of Oz."

Specifically, Glinda tells Dorothy Gale to knock her heels together in the original 1900 book edition. The non-dialogue descriptive paragraph states that Dorothy claps the heels together. In contrast, Glinda says that Dorothy must tap her heels together in the beloved 1939 film version. The description in the script then observes that Dorothy clicks her heels together.

Answer 4

In the original 1900 book edition of The Wizard of Oz, Dorothy Gale wore the Silver Slippers of the Wicked Witch of the East. In the beloved 1939 film version, the shoes were Ruby. Either way, the shoes had the secret power to take their wearer to any desired destination. The proper procedure was the wearer clicking the heels together three times and making a statement. In the book, the request was seeing Aunt Em again. In the film, it was stating that there was no place like home.
