 Grant Johnson, and Adam Bostick

Prospectus

“This is the job of leaders, and why we exist.”- Wizard of Oz. (Maguire, 224)

1) The Wizard now explains to his son(Bostick Bollea) why he exist.
2) He states that their family is royal, due to the fact that his Grandpa founded the Emerald City.
3) His Grandpa and father were titled the “rulers,” yet they were not as powerful as Oz.
4) Since Oz toke over, he demanded power in all ways, over everything. He did this by being two-faced, backstabbing, and by creating a corrupted Government.
5) The people of the Emerald City do not respect Oz,, even though he thinks they do.
6) Oz had Dr. Dillamond killed because the Dr. demonstrated an alternative way of how society should be ran.
7) Oz then says to his son why he should be like his dad, because that’s what leaders do, and why his son is there.

Bostick Bollea
Bostick is fifteen years old and is a very obedient kid. He does very well in school, but does not have a lot of friends. The reason for this is because of his father’s reputation. He is a people pleaser and wants all people to be happy. The problem with him being a people pleaser is he always wants his dad to be happy, and loves him approval. However deep down inside Bostick does not agree with his fathers ways. Bostick walks very fast as if some he really needs to be somewhere all the time(like something is chasing him). He has brown hair, but his hair has a bleach white streak down the middle of his hair. Bostick always wears a necklace that was his Grandpa’s. This is sacred to him because he was a firm believer in his Grandpa’s ways, and beliefs.

Pathos

Bostick gets home from school after an exhausting day. Oz then goes to his son and asks if he could talk to him for a moment. “Of course father!” Bostick replies.
Bostick though he was going to be talking about his day at school. However his father just wanted to talk about how Bostick should run the Emerald City once it is his turn to. Oz goes into detail about how special, important, and wonderful being the ruler is. Then Oz begins to talk about how important is to have his wishes live on. Bostick does not believe in his fathers ways, but he wants to please his father because Bostick loves to have his fathers approval.
