1) What are the actions of other characters that affected the Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz story?( List three actions of other characters and give examples from the text, explaining how each action shaped the Dorothy.)
2. What major life experiences/events have played a significant role in the molding of Dorothy's personality? (List two events and give examples from the text, explaining how each event shaped the character.)

In The Wizard of Oz, characters like Glinda the Good Witch represent the mother archetype because she looks out for Dorothy, and Toto represent the trickster, because he is always creating problems. ... Toto also causes the Cowardly Lion to growl at him, causing Dorothy to hit the Lion on the nose.

Glenda the good witch - represents the mother because she helps to take care of D and to keep her safe and on the right path.  

Toto  - he is the tricky one and always creating problems for D.  

Lion - He is a coward - really?  He just has no self - esteem.  Not only is D able to instill in him that he is not a coward, but that she is not a coward either.  By encouraging him, she is really encouraging herself.

Tin Man - He has so much love to give, but does not have a heart.  He helps D realize that treating others with kindness and being good and helping others - as D does frequently - is all about having a big heart full of love.  

Scarecrow - No brain.  But he comes to realize with D's help that he is smart and that he has potential to be whatever he wants to be - even if it is to scare crows away from the fields he protects.  

Explanation:

Self sufficiency  - all of these characters want external things to magically make them what they think they need to be - when in reality, they all have what they need inside of themselves - including D.

Hope this helps a little
