You know, as a child I always
rather despised Dorothy Gale, who flopped around through Oz weak and helpless.
I was irritated that she prevailed
only by accident. But I just realized that she didn't win by accident. She won
because she made friends, an angle that would never have occurred to my
superhero-obsessed little mind.
My friend Brian Peterlinz replied,
“There is also an age-old theme explored — finding oneself through a shared
journey and adventure.”
My friend Betty Layport-Feher pointed
out, “And, she made friends because she was truly interested in the well being
of others." And my friend Lynne Parker remarked,
“Amazing and sad how many American males are still stuck where you were as a
child.”
