The Wicked Witches of the
East and West represents the east and west coast factory
workers of the farmers.
The Scarecrow who needs a
brain represents the
stereotype that farmers are dumb.
The tinman who needs a
heart represents the
emptiness of factory workers who only produce goods for
money.
The Cowardly lion represents
Politicians, and the fact that they say things they
are too afraid to do.
The Wizard of Oz, or the
man behind the curtains represents presidents. Big in
title, but small in reality.
Munchkins: Freed slaves
(dorothy house kills the witch)
flying monkeys: Native

Toto represents home
& LASTLY.... Dorothy walking over over the yellow brick
road
with her supposed to be silver
shoes like as said in the book not red is telling the
