Prompt: Describe a character that you would like to meet (which doesn’t mean that you
think you would like the character, but that you think the character would be
interesting). List 4 questions that you would ask.
Who Would I Want to Meet in Oz?
When I got to the middle part of my book, I started to have similar feelings as Amy Gumm the main character of the book. It seems that Oz isn't what we expected it to be due to the reason that instead of being a beautiful little world, it has now become a place of violence and a bit magic less. When I was starting to read this book I sort of wanted to meet Dorothy or possibly even the Tin Woodman not that I liked either of them, it would just seem interesting to interact with them. Then I go to the middle part of the novel and my thoughts completely changed after a statement that one of the supporting characters mentioned. Indigo the character mentions that the Wicked Witch of the East was crushed by Dorothy's house, the Wicked Witch of the West is melted away by Dorothy, which only leaves Glinda the Good Witch of the South. That left with the idea that I wanted meet Glinda and find out why she went from a good witch to a wicked witch. There was a statement that Amy made which made me thinking. She said "what about the Witch of the North", but Indigo simply said "you ask too many questions." It was until later when I found out the true identity of the witch.
What Would I Ask Glinda?
In the part where I am in the book, I found out that Glinda is the only witch standing from the original four directions north, south, east, and west. At the start of the book Indigo describes what changed Glinda and why is she the person she is right now. Indigo mentions that after Dorothy came back to Oz, she became a princess which made her sort of like the owner or leader of Oz. The power she received went to her head and she became this power hungry person. Glinda of course feared for her life, after Dorothy killed two witches which left Glinda thinking that she must became a loyal servant. The four questions I would ask this former good witch. Why would you change into a servant of Dorothy, don't you care about the people of Oz? Why would you put yourself before others, if you were such a kind leader back then? Why did you let go of your twin sister Glamora? Has Dorothy given you the task of finding Glamora or finding Amy Gumm? I feel like these questions would have a big impact on Glinda and her role in Oz.
What is so interesting about Glinda?
In order to be hones Glinda has never been my favorite character from the Wizard of Oz in fact it had always been either the Wizard or the Tin Woodman. At first I was going to choose the Wizard, but he was barely introduced in the storyline. Well, the Tin Woodman is completely different, now he actually hunts down people who don't obey Dorothy's law. The thing that makes Glinda interesting is the fact that she became servant instead of actually becoming the voice of her people. I would never imagine that someone so dedicated to her people, decided to just become one of Dorothy's numerous servants of Emerald City. The interesting part is that I feel like she still has that bit of goodness inside and a sort of warrior is building inside of her. I would recommend she join the rebellion which is made up of Amy, a young boy named Nox, Mombi, Gert, and Glamore her twin sister. I feel like the most interesting part about Glinda is that she is quickly influenced by the things around her, in which she could become a warrior of peace.

The reason I put a picture of the Emerald City was because it seems to be a recognizable symbol of the Oz series. In every book you read about which has to do with Oz, this bright green city will always be mentioned regardless of the author. This also seems to be one of the major settings of the novel, in which Amy has to disguise herself as a maid in order to get closer to Dorothy.
