Adventure
Wicked Analysis
The movie starts where the Wizard of Oz ends: the celebration of The Wicked Witch of the West’s death. It starts off with an opening number to introduce the message of the musical, Glinda and the reputation of Elphaba - The Wicked Witch of the West. It’s called No One Mourns the Wicked. It’s personally my favorite song. Elphaba’s green nature is a reflection of the horrible actions of her mom which sets up part of the message. Some dialogue in the middle of the song in a recitative secco sense follows to present the nature vs. nurture debate. “Are people born Wicked? Or do they have Wickedness thrust upon them?” This iconic line says it all. The comments she gets at her birth already show the prejudice that she’ll further receive.

But for Amara, it was a sanctuary.

THE LAST SPARK
Marlene's hands trembled as she touched the small locket around her neck, a ritual that had become as natural as breathing through her filtration mask. Inside, a curl of her father's gray hair lay pressed against a faded photo—the last Christmas before everything went wrong. She could still smell the pine needles from their contraband tree, and could still hear her father's laugh as he handed her the tiny silver locket. "Something to keep your memories close," he'd said, not knowing how precious memories would soon become.

There was once a teenager named Megan, who everyone in the South Haven neighborhood called Little Red. She always wore a red hoodie everywhere, even in the summertime. Her grandma had given it to her, and she loved her grandma more than anyone—even her mother. She never went swimming, because she would have to take off the hoodie.
