Today, I was cycling to work and feeling something like Miss Gulch (the wicked witch) on her bicycle:

all constrained by the demands and restrictions of her self-importance.

Then I remembered that at the end of that scene, Toto pops his head out of the basket, looks around, and jumps out.

Toto escaping Miss Gulch represented my own creativity and imagination escaping through any back door available.

I told the class this story and Toto's bid for freedom seemed to be the dominant metaphor of the rest of the class.
