In the Wizard of Oz why did Dorothy leave home?
Dorothy Gale was swept away with the strong winds of the cyclone, because she didn't make it down to the safety of the cellar. She had been outside with her pet dog Toto.

What does Dorothy say to the Scarecrow before her return home in 'The Wizard of Oz'?
The first time that Dorothy Gale is granted an audience, the great and terrible Wizard of Oz says to her, and then to each of her three friends individually, that he will grant every request in exchange for the death of the Wicked Witchof the West [in the book], or her broomstick [in the 1939 film version]. Dorothy kills the Witch. But at the second audience, the Wizard tries to get out of helping her, her pet dog Toto, the Tin Woodman, the Scarecrow, and the Cowardly Lion. The five friends find out what he looks like, and what a humbug he is. And so he ends up supposedly giving to the Tin Woodman, the Scarecrow, and the Cowardly Lion what they each already have. The only real, true solution that isn't as humbug as he is turns out to be his plan for getting Dorothy and Toto back home to Kansas. Unfortunately, Toto jumps out at the last minute, Dorothy jumps out to catch Toto, and neither is able to get back into the basket before the hot air balloon takes off with only the Wizard on board.
When does Toto from 'The Wizard of Oz' die?
Toto doesn't die in 'The Wizard of Oz' or in any later books. Dorothy Gale relocates her pet dog and both Uncle Henry and Aunt Em to the Emerald City of Oz, later on in the Royal Histories of Oz books by author and series originator Lyman Frank Baum [May 15, 1856-May 6, 1919]. Dorothy becomes a Princess, and Toto even has an honorary statue made in his likeness during his lifetime.

Neither the movie nor the book on which it is based names Dorothy's hometown. Both only say she is from Kansas.
The Wizard says he's in Omaha (in the book), but that is the only town mentioned.
Was the witch in 'The Wizard of Oz' a male?
No. A male is called a wizard if he's a good witch, a warlock if he's wicked. There were neither in the original 1900 book edition of The Wizard of Oz. Indeed, the Wizard was a humbug magician from Omaha, Nebraska. He started out in entertainment as a ventriloquist, at which he was good. Then he moved into hot air ballooning. He wasn't quite as skilled at hot air ballooning as he had been at projecting his voice. For he ended up not being able to control the balloon on a windy day. The result was a landing in the beautiful, enchanted, magical land of Oz. In Oz, he began his third entertaining career, as Wizard and Absolute Ruler from his Emerald Palace. In this case, he was skilled at intimidating and manipulating his subjects. But he actually was a fraud, and constantly feared being found out.

The Scarecrow wanted the Wizard to give him a brain. Ironically, the Wizard was a humbug, and made a show of giving the Scarecrow what the Scarecrow already had. For the Scarecrow had reacted to many situations, on the way to the Emerald Palace of the Wizard of Oz, in ways that showed that he already had a brain. In the way of a humorous example, Dorothy irritated a tree by picking an apple off the branch instead of picking it up from the ground. The Scarecrow explained that the little girl didn't like green worms in her apples. Exactly!

Was it the Scarecrow or the Tin Woodman that wanted a heart in The Wizard of Oz?
The Scarecrow wanted a brain, and the Tin Woodman wanted a heart. But neither one of them realized an important fact: the Wizard didn't give them anything. He really was a humbug, and made a show of giving them what they already had. For the Scarecrow already had a brain, and the Tin Woodman already had a heart. There were many instances prior to meeting the Wizard in which the presence of a brain and of a heart were proven respectively. For example, the Tin Woodman didn't want to hurt anybody or anything if he could help it. He deliberately tried not to step on ants. And the Scarecrow figured out that a deep ditch was too wide to be jumped individually, but not so wide as to keep the Cowardly Lion from leaping over, with each of the four friends on his back, one-by-one.
Each one of the five friends had dreams, requests, and wishes for which the Wizard of Oz's help was sought. Dorothy Gale and her pet dog Toto wanted to get back home to Kansas. The Tin Woodman wanted a heart. The Scarecrow wanted a brain. And the Cowardly Lion wanted courage. To each of her three friends, Dorothy explained that she was going to get help from the Wizard in solving her problem. She accepted their company along the way, and was willing to share her possibilities for a meeting with her and Toto's new-found friends.

Why does the Tin Woodman prefer a heart to brains in 'The Wizard of Oz'?
No. It was the Scarecrow who wanted a brain. The Tin Woodman believed himself to be without a heart. He had been in love with a pretty Munchkin girl, who had lived with an older woman who was afraid of losing the company and having to live all alone. The woman persuaded the Wicked Witch of the West to cast a spell on the Woodman. The Woodman's own axe turned on him, bit by bit depriving him of torso, limbs, and head. Each part was replaced by metal. But the Woodman showed himself to be compassionate, emotional, and sensitive many times before the bestowal of a silk sawdust-stuffed heart from the Wizard. For example, he tried not to be cruel and unkind. And he didn't want to step on ants.
What piece of music plays as the door opens to Emerald City in the Wizard of Oz?
It called "Optimistic Voices" and the lyrics go:You're out of the woods, You're out of the dark, You're out of the night. Step into the sun, Step into the light. Keep straight ahead for the most glorious place On the Face of the Earth or the sky. Hold onto your breath, Hold onto your heart, Hold onto your hope. March up to the gate and bid it open.
What is the theme of the first chapter in 'The Wizard of Oz'?
The main theme of the Wizard of Oz is to appreciate what you have.

In the end Dorothy wanted nothing more than to go back home. The others found that they already displayed the qualities that they most felt that they lacked , and that a physical piece of proof wasn't necessary.
