《The wonderful wizard of Oz》,written by English writer Lyman Frank Baum, is very popular in the world. This is a story about a girl who was blown to the land of Munchkin by cyclone and made efforts to reunite with her family. On her way, she came across a scarecrow, a lion and a blacksmith and became friend with them. In this story, everyone has a dream. The girl want to get home, the scarecrow desired some brains, the lion want to be courage and the blacksmith whished a heart. To achieve their dreams, they gone through many difficulties, and eventually, they all
realized their dreams under the helps of OZ, western witch and northern witch!
After reading this story, I can feel many good spirits among them! On their way to realize their dreams, although they came up with plenty of difficulties, they didn’t shrink from hardships and crises and are always optimists. They united as one and make unremitting efforts. In the end, they all realized their dreams. From this book, I learned that we should all set an aim and try our best to achieve it. No matter how hard and how difficult it is, we should hold on to the last, just as the girl and her friends. Besides, friends are precious and necessary. Dorothy was daring regardless of personal danger to save Toto; the timid lion could also fight with tiger for his friends. We should treat friends with all sincerity and unite as one, just like them.
Among the text, what impressed me most are OZ’s ideas about brains heart and courage. He said: a baby has brains, but it doesn’t know much. Experience is the only thing that brings knowledge, and the longer you are on earth, the more experiences you are sure to get; you have plenty of courage, I am sure. All you need is confidence in yourself. There is no living things is not afraid when it faces with dangers. True courage is in facing danger when you are afraid, and take kind of courage you have in plenty; I think you are wrong to want a heart, it makes most people unhappy. If you only know it, you are in luck for not to have a heart. As far as I’m concerned, Lyman Frank Baum uses these simple vivid sentences to express the thoughts of brain, heart and courage. In real life, some people do not give themselves the time to think, they just only know working working and working. So he said a baby has brains, but it doesn’t know much. Some people do not have any confidence, fearing both the beginning and the end. The real courage is: despite the fear, you still face the danger. So he said you have plenty of courage, I am sure. All you need is confidence in yourself. Some people only think themselves, never give others love and care. Only with love, it makes a lot of people happy. So he said I think you are wrong to want a heart, it makes most people unhappy.
This is all I learned from this famous book《The wonderful wizard of Oz》,I like it and I will read it for another time .I think it deserves it!
