She is thanked for killing the witch. But Dorothy can't get back to Kansas! She sets off on a journey to find a wizard named Oz, who can bring her back to Kansas. She befriends three people: a scarecrow, a tin man, and a cowardly lion. Dorothy shows different ways of bravery.
           Dorothy shows bravery when she hit the seemingly fierce lion. "...the great beast had opened his mouth to bite the dog, when Dorothy, fearing Toto would be killed, and heedless of danger, rushed forward and slapped the Lion upon his nose as hard as she could..."
           This quote shows Dorothy's bravery because she needs to have a lot of bravery to hit a big lion that could easily kill you.
1 hour   The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L Frank Baum   Chapters 7-12
Changes over time: When the Lion was first introduced in the story, he was a coward, and was too scared of everything. But now, the Lion showed courage when he threatened the witch. In the future, he will gain more courage, and feel more satisfied.
           The Lion threatens the witch by saying, "No. If you come in this yard, I will bite you."
           This quote shows the Lion's bravery that has grown since the beginning of the story. This is because before the story, the Lion wouldn't have threatened the witch, since he is a coward. But when he did threaten her, it showed his improvement, and his bravery.
