Wizard of Oz (1939 screenplay by Metro Goldwyn Mayer)
http://sfy.ru/sfy.html?script=wizard_of_oz_1939
"Folklore, legends, myths and fairy tales have followed childhood through the ages, for every healthy youngster has a wholesome and instinctive love for stories fantastic, marvelous and manifestly unreal. The winged fairies of Grimm and Andersen have brought more happiness to childish hearts than all other human creations.
"Yet the old time fairy tale, having served for generations, may now be classed as "historical" in the children's library; for the time has come for a series of newer "wonder tales" in which the stereotyped genie, dwarf and fairy are eliminated, together with all the horrible and blood-curdling incidents devised by their authors to point a fearsome moral to each tale. Modern education includes morality; therefore the modern child seeks only entertainment in its wonder tales and gladly dispenses with all disagreeable incident.
"Having this thought in mind, the story of "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" was written solely to please children of today. It aspires to being a modernized fairy tale, in which the wonderment and joy are retained and the heartaches and nightmares are left out."
L. Frank Baum
Chicago, April, 1900.
Note: L. Frank Baum's preface to the novel published in 1900. He writes about the difference between the fairy tales of old (1500's-1800's) and modern (1900) fairy tales.

Think about our essential question, think about people's attitudes, and think about stories that are marked by weather.
Essential Question: "Do you create a self; do you inherit a self?" -journalist, David Denby
Quote: Victor E. Frankl: "the last of the human freedoms is to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances."
Weather seems to be the background for many memories. Draft a few of your own weather-related memories. Ask an older family member to recall a weather-related memory.

"They got along quite well at first, but when they reached the middle of the river the swift current swept the raft downstream, farther and farther away from the road of yellow brick. And the water grew so deep that the long poles would not touch the bottom.
" 'This is bad," said the Tin Woodman, "for if we cannot get to the land we shall be carried into the country of the Wicked Witch of the West, and she will enchant us and make us her slaves.'
" 'And then I should get no brains,' said the Scarecrow.
" 'And I should get no courage,' said the Cowardly Lion.
" 'And I should get no heart,' said the Tin Woodman.
" 'And I should never get back to Kansas,' said Dorothy.
" 'We must certainly get to the Emerald City if we can,' the Scarecrow continued, and he pushed so hard on his long pole that it stuck fast in the mud at the bottom of the river. Then, before he could pull it out again -- or let go -- the raft was swept away, and the poor Scarecrow left clinging to the pole in the middle of the river."
page 36: "But it is a long way to the Emerald City, and it will take you many days.
The country here is rich and pleasant, but you must pass through rough and dangerous places before you reach the end of your journey."
