When the Munchkinlanders first layed sight on Elphaba "ooo shes green" " oh dont get too close, sharp little nails" when Elphaba was born, war was happening and her mother was so drugged up she passed out and two little munchkinlanders helped deliver her, well little Elphaba bit off one of the ladies fingers and the two munchkinlanders spread the word and that was the thoughtwhen Elphaba came around.This is the first thing that lead to Elphaba being evil. When we humans think of the word witch we usually refer to to the media, which shows witches good andbad ways but the first thought is bad. We think of goths and black clothing, usually quiet people that keep to themselves and pale. Witches have many stereotypes, i could go on and on ,but i dont think Elphaba would like that.====== //===For more information on this topic, click here([])===//

=Dramatization of the Book:= I would pick //Christy Allan// for the main character because she is crazy and sweet and she has awesome work so i think she would nail this role.For th mother i would pick //Sandra Bullock// because she also has fenomanal work and the mother in this book was rich and beautiful but once she had Elphaba, she became desperate and hopeless about her disformed baby and is also a wife that is always left alone.I would choose //Tyler Perry// for the father because he is a christian and his work is unbeatable to me, the father is a preacher who is clueless on why he has been blessed or punished for little Elphaba.For the Nanny , i would have to say //Dakota Fanning// because she is very outgoing and she will do any role and she is great to work with, the nanny is great with babies but once she sees Elphaba she doesnt really back down but is astonished and disguted with the baby. //Dakota FanningSandra BullockTyler PerryKristie Alley// ="About the Reader"= My name is Chyanne Harris and i am amazing and really theres nothing else to say but im going to keep going.Im fifteen and my birthday is October, 12,95(my favorite day) I love macaroni and cheese(homeade by the way,.....cant do the box)My favorite number is 1212.
