What happens in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz Chapter 1?

The coming of the cyclone and Dorothy Gale and her pet dog Toto being trapped in the family farmhouse as it is carried away is what happens in the first chapter of "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz."Specifically, the chapter is titled "The Cyclone." It begins with an introduction of readers to Dorothy, Toto and Dorothy's Uncle Henry and Aunt Em as residents of rural Kansas. Aunt Em manages to get into the cellar, but Toto hides under a bed and Dorothy chases after him. During the beginning moments of the cyclone, Dorothy sits quietly on the floor while Toto runs about and ends up in the hole where the trap door is. He is held up by the strong air pressure. Dorothy retrieves him, closes the door, and both end up falling asleep on one of the beds.


Last quote by Dorothy in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz?

An explanation that she and Toto are back from the land of Oz and that she is glad to be back home with Aunt Em is the last quote by Dorothy in "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz."Specifically, Dorothy Gale is transported by the power of the silver slippers to the part of the Kansas prairie where Uncle Henry replaces the farmhouse lost in the cyclone that carries Dorothy and her pet dog Toto into Oz. Uncle Henry is milking the cows, and the author gives no indication as to whether he sees Dorothy or hears Toto barking. But Aunt Em comes out to water the cabbages, sees Dorothy and asks as to her whereabouts. Dorothy answers, "From the Land of Oz. And here is Toto, too. And oh, Aunt Em! I'm so glad to be at home again!"


In the Wizard of Oz why did Dorothy leave home?

Dorothy Gale was swept away with the strong winds of the cyclone, because she didn't make it down to the safety of the cellar. She had been outside with her pet dog Toto. She managed to get into Uncle Henry's and Aunt Em's old farm house before the cyclone hit. But she and Toto were upstairs and therefore carried off to the beautiful, enchanted, magical lands of Oz.

Can you compare Dorothy to Aunt Em in 'The Wizard of Oz'?

Youth versus old age, spontaneity versus reserve, and daydreaming versus practicality are comparisons of Dorothy to Aunt Em in "The Wizard of Oz."Specifically, Dorothy is heading toward her teen years whereas Aunt Em is old and even older than her years what with all the hard work and worry of working and holding onto a farm. Dorothy does not yet have experience in controlling her emotions whereas Aunt Em knows the heartbreak of the harsh life on the Kansas prairies and is used to few words and even fewer emotions. Dorothy therefore can laugh with her cheery pet dog Toto whereas Aunt Em is all about keeping family and farm together. But despite their differences, the two are alike in their courage, loyalty, persistence and straightforwardness, and that most likely is why Dorothy misses Aunt Em so much during the visit to the colorful, magical lands of Oz.
