Question

Importance of colour, imagery and anecdotes in a feature

Answer 1

Answer:

Do you remember the scene from The Wizard of Oz where Dorothy emerges from her gray farmhouse into the brightly colored world of Munchkinland? It was a telling scene of the difference between her routine, even boring, farm life and the magical journey through interesting lands with unique characters she was about to embark on.

The use of color in that movie, as well as literature, is a way to add symbolism to any work. Symbolism in literature is when a writer uses one object to represent something outside of its literal sense. For example, in The Wizard of Oz, Dorothy's slippers represent her own power to change her life. At the end of the movie, she finds out she's had the power all along in the soles of her shoes.
