Wizard of Oz Conflict

Wizard of OZ

By: L Frank Baum


The book that I am reading for the book report is called "The Wizard of Oz" by L. Frank Baum.

The main conflict in this book is between the protagonist and nature. Man vs. Nature. Dorothy vs. Journey caused by the cyclone. Dorothy, who is the protagonist in this book is going on an journey to the Great Wizard of Oz to ask him if he could get Dorothy back to her homeland Kansas with her aunt and uncle.  During this tough and hard adventure/journey, Dorothy and her dog Toto has saved the Straw Stuffed Scarecrow who wants a brain from the Great Oz, Tin Woodman who wants a heart and the cowardly lion that wants bravery because he is the kind of animals in the forest. This journey was very hard to achieve. The reason why its man vs. nature is because during the journey, there are deep deep dark forests, many ditches that are very hard to pass, roads very hard to walk in with human feet. But Dorothy and her friends (Scarecrow, Tin Woodman, Cowardly cow) always had an idea of how to pass challenges during the journey to Emerald City.
