Yellow Brick Road - English

Witi Imimaera is an New Zealand author from Gisborne. 21 of his stories have been adapted to screen. From what I remember I haven't really heard the yellow brick road, so personally it has no meaning to me. I predict that this story will be about a journey and people coming together to get through challenges     

The narrator believes that they are moving to Wellington because they will make lots of money there and be more wealthy in Wellington then they were in Waituhi. The narrator says "Wellington is where the money is" and also mentions that Waituhi is a different place because of the people. As they are in the car they are getting many dirty looks and it seems that Waituhi is a friendlier place. The dad tells uncle Sam that they are moving to Wellington because he wanted his children to have a better life then he did. Once they get closer to Wellington the narrator becomes doubtful, he thinks that they will become rice but has doubts about living there and wants reassurance. In comparison the story shows how they are moving towards there dreams but realises that it's not exactly what he thought at all.
