The Quadling Glassblower

• Shall we go walk by the lake today and
• maybe youll drown? But, Elphaba would
• never drown because she would not go near
• the lake. Or we might take a walk in the
• woods today and pick tha last of the winter
• berries. Melena was full of guilt at her lack
• of motherly feeling. We can put them in a pie.
  Can
• we put them in a pie? Shall we, honey? (33).

Childs Play

• Melena, she needs to get use to other
• children. Shell start talking a little bit if
  she
• sees other chicks are talking we must take
• Elphie to Rush Margins and find small
• children for her to play with.
• Slow and deliberate as Elphaba is, at least
  shes unharmed here!
• I may not be able to summon much maternal warmth,
  but I feed
• her, Nanny, and I keep her from hurting herself!
  How cruel to
• inflict the outside world on her! A green child
  will be an open
• invitation for scorn and abuse. And children are
  wickeder than
• adults, they have no sense of restraint. We might
  as well fo throw
• her in the lake she is so terrified of!

• Ch. 1 - Summary
• Assignment Read Chapters 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7
• As you are reading, create a GIST of each chapter
• Find at least one example of each type of
  figurative language in the novel. Make sure you
  include the quote, page number, and what it
  means.
• The first section of the book ends powerfully but
  enigmatically when the young Elphaba is
  discovered under the dock, cradled in the paws of
  a magical beast as if sitting on a throne. How do
  you interpret this scene, and what do you think
  it foretells, if anything? Write a short literary
  response.
