Extra credit assignment:
what do you did baum write the wizard of oz as a way to promote the populist party agenda? was it really all or, do you believe baum’s family and think that he was merely writing a children’s story and the similarities i just pointed out to you are pure coincidence?
write a 2 – 3 paragraph essay about whether or not you agree with me that l. frank baum wrote the wizard of oz to promote the populist agenda. you can use the evidence i have provided in this presentation and any outside sources you find (do not plagiarize though). take a side and try to convince me that you are right! be sure to include any current examples of pop culture (tv, music, movies) being political that you can think of as well.
