The wicked witch of the west is dead. After years of terrorizing the Land of Oz, her demise has finally come. The news of her death spread like wildfire, bringing relief and joy to all who had suffered under her rule. Known for her malevolence and cruelty, the wicked witch ruled with an iron fist. She instilled fear in the hearts of the citizens, causing them to live in constant terror. Her dark magic and evil minions allowed her to maintain her hold on power for far too long.
Like everyone here it hasn’t all been plain sailing for me but hey its certainly been a journey and one that I didn’t buy a return ticket for. Because trust me this chick is only going one way.
Gaddis argues for the success of George Kennan s containment doctrine, conceived as a long twilight struggle to hold the existing lines of the postwar settlement, until the Soviet Union saw the error of its ways and reformed itself. Three Berlins seemed to typify the conflict and to place the appropriate emphasis on Europe the airlift in 1948 at the Cold War s reported begining, the crisis in 1961 that summed up its bipolar and intractable nature, and the dismantling of the wall in 1989 that presumably ended it.
Her dark magic and evil minions allowed her to maintain her hold on power for far too long. However, the story of the wicked witch's death is not a tale of heroism or bravery. It is a tale of luck and happenstance.
The Wicked Witch of The West: Death By Water!
Hello and welcome to the last episode of fairyology! I’ve absolutely loved writing these blogs but I have to make way for new series in the new year.
I thought I’d finish with one of my favourite stories of all time which is the Wonderful Wizard of Oz! It’s the classic tale of a girl named Dorothy alongside her dog Toto who explore the land of Oz. They go along a yellow brick road meeting various characters along the way and defeat the wicked witch of the west by throwing a bucket of water on her! They then get to go home back to Kansas! If you haven’t seen the film or read the book it is quite trippy but none the less a classic!
However we’re here to decode how someone might die from having a bucket of water thrown on them. Well lets first make the assumption that she did not choke on some inhaled water as she does notoriously scream out “I’m melting”. This has led me to find one very rare disorder which could explain things and it’s called Aquagenic urticaria. This causes the skin to break out in itchy and painful white or red hives a few minutes after direct contact with water of any temperature. According to a study published in the journal Annals of Dermatology, fewer than 100 cases of aquagenic urticaria have been recorded in the scientific literature since the condition was first described in 1964. Because the condition is so rare there is little known about what causes it and why the reaction happens.
This condition could have made the witch feel as though she was melting when in fact if the water was removed the rash should fade within thirty to sixty minutes, nevertheless by this point Dorothy had clicked her heels and was home in Kansas!
And that brings fairyology to a close! Thank you for reading all my very weird and silly science!

Reviews for "The wicked witch of the west's death: a symbol of triumph over evil"
1. Sophie Thompson - ★★☆☆☆
I must admit, I was quite disappointed with "The wicked witch of the west is dead." The plot felt disjointed and the characters lacked depth. The story started off promising, but quickly lost its momentum and never fully recovered. Additionally, the writing style was mediocre at best, with awkward phrasing and excessive use of cliches. Overall, I found this book to be a lackluster read and would not recommend it to others.
2. Robert Johnson - ★☆☆☆☆
To put it simply, "The wicked witch of the west is dead" was a complete letdown. The premise had so much potential, but it was squandered by the weak execution. The pacing was all over the place, with abrupt shifts and a general lack of coherence. The characters were shallow and uninteresting, and their actions often felt forced and unbelievable. I struggled to connect with the story on any level and found myself skimming through pages just to finish it. I regret having wasted my time on this book and would advise others to steer clear of it.
3. Elizabeth Manning - ★★☆☆☆
"The wicked witch of the west is dead" had an intriguing concept, but it failed to live up to its potential. The narrative was confusing, with frequent jumps between different timelines and perspectives that made it difficult to follow. The dialogue was also quite stilted and unnatural, making it hard to connect with the characters or their motivations. While there were some interesting ideas sprinkled throughout, the overall execution fell short. I appreciate the effort put into this book, but unfortunately, it didn't work for me.
4. Michael Anderson - ★☆☆☆☆
I found "The wicked witch of the west is dead" to be incredibly dull and uninspired. The story lacked originality and the characters felt like mere caricatures. The writing style was unimaginative and failed to capture my attention. As a reader, I look for books that can transport me to a different world, but this one failed to do so. It felt like a cheap imitation of other, more successful novels in the genre. Overall, I was deeply disappointed with this book and would not recommend it to anyone looking for a captivating read.

Sadly, "The wicked witch of the west is dead" did not meet my expectations. The plot was convoluted and lacked coherence, making it hard to fully grasp what was happening. The characters were underdeveloped and their interactions felt forced. The writing style, while not terrible, did not stand out either. The book left me feeling unsatisfied and uninterested in continuing the series. It had the potential to be an engaging story, but unfortunately, it fell flat for me.
