the tin woodman of oz by l. frank baum

what was your favourite part of this book?
i'm thinking about two things at once. let me just meditate on it. i liked when the giantess captured everybody and turned them into different animals.

if you captured me, what would you turn me into to improve me for your entertainment?
ummm. uhhh. don't forget to write that. i've got it! a robot that looks like donkey kong. and your foot would be as wide as our house. that should give you a good idea of how big it is. then i would make you take off your underpants and say booga-booga ten times outside.

which character in the story is most like you?
the tin woodman, probably. just because i like going on adventures.

where would you like to travel in oz?
the emerald city. because i like emeralds. but i wouldn't want to live there. instead i would live in munchkin land because i would like to try out being a munchkin. i like that they are tiny.

was it right of ku-klip to make a new person out of the cast-off parts from captain fyter and the tin woodman?
no. because those parts still belonged to them even though they weren't using them anymore.

do you think nimee amee and chopfyt are truly happy?
no. because chopfyt is usually always grumpy. but they should be happy. i don't really know what they should do differently. i don't think about stuff like that. that's not my kind of question.

if you could ask the author anything about oz, what would you ask?
could you make a straw woodman please?
