绿野仙踪读后感

After reading “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” by L. Frank Baum, I was completely spellbound by its fantastical and colourful world. The story follows the protagonist Dorothy, a young girl swept away from her Kansas home to the magical land of Oz. Along the Yellow Brick Road to the Emerald City, she meets the Scarecrow in need of a brain, the Tin Woodman longing for a heart, and the Cowardly Lion seeking courage. Together, they face numerous challenges, from the Wicked Witch' s schemes to the mysteries of the Emerald City. What struck me most is how the story blends adventure with profound themes. Each character’s journey is a quest for self - improvement, showing that true strength comes from within. For instance, the Scarecrow displays wisdom despite lacking a brain, and the Tin Woodman shows great compassion without a real heart. This book not only entertains with its vivid descriptions of flying monkeys, magical shoes, and talking scarecrows but also leaves the reader with a valuable lesson: we already possess the qualities we most desire. It' s a timeless classic that appeals to both children and adults, reminding us to have faith in ourselves and embrace the magic of friendship.
