Summary #4

Well, well. We meet again. I left off at page 104, so I shall start from page 105. HERE WE GO!

BOQ

3) (Pages 105-112) Galinda is stuck at school for her summer vacation. Boq talks to her for a while. A few weeks later he runs into Elphaba. Elphaba tells him about Nessarose. NOTICE how she mentions that she is getting her sister striped stocking... (I believe that is what she was wearing when she got hit by that house in The Wizard of Oz). They discuss Doctor Dillamond, and they say something or other about his work....?

4) (Pages 112-116) Boq and his friends are dressing up for some reason...? They want to get Doctor Dillamond's research, or something, I think. Apparently he had some type of scientific break through. The only part I understand here is that a myth tells them that the Gillikin River was created first because Lurline peed immensely??? and apparently Animals became Animals instead of animals because they drank tears from The Unnamed God (who reminds me of He Who Must Not Be Named, but that's totally different). I AM SO CONFUSED! LAURA PLEASE RESEARCH THIS

5) (Pages 116-124) Elphaba recieves a letter from Galinda, who is vacationing with Shenshen and Pfannee, telling her to join them. She doesn't want to go, but Boq ic concerned that Galinda might desperately need Elphaba so she goes. Then she learns that Pfannee wrote that letter as a joke. Galinda get very embarrassed and she is angry that Elphaba is going to stay on vacation with her. She tells Boq about this, and then he kisses her.

6) (Pages 124-127) WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON HERE!?!? He is looking at a picture of a Witch... why is this significant in any way? Who is this person? He thinks she is either feeding animals, or sacrificing them. Boq visits Elphaba and asks if Galinda has talked about him, but she says no.

7) (Pages 127-129) Basically the characters find out that Doctor Dillamond has been murdered. Ama Clutch found him dead.

THE CHARMED CIRCLE
1) (Pages 130-133) Galinda feels really bad for Doctor Dillamond and, because she feels bad, she remembers that he had once called her Glinda, and changes her name to that. Nessarose and Nanny meet Boq. This is really Glinda's changing point.

2) (Pages 133-139) Elphaba begins to tell Glinda about her childhood. Glinda and Elphaba discuss magic and religion, and Nessarose disagrees with Elphaba's views.

3) (Pages 139-146) Boq and Elphaba discuss their new professor, Doctor Nikidik. Apparently Elphaba has figured out who killed Doctor Dillamond or something, but won't tell him. There is a new student, and he is almost hit with antlers, which were flying around because Doctor Nikidik was attempting magic. The students don't take too kindly to the new boy (possibly because of his blue skin?) Doctor Nikidik does an experiment on a kitten. He plans to kill the kitten and examine his brain to see if it is a Kitten or a kitten. Everyone gets mad at him.

4) (Pages 146-152) Boq doesn't love Glinda anymore because she is so different from the old Galinda. LAURA AT THE BOTTOM OF PAGE 147, WHAT ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT? WHAT'S THAT GROMMETIK THING? Elphaba's father send a package to Nessarose; THE RUBY SLIPPERS! Elphaba is pretty sad because she didn't get anything. Later, everyone goes out and they all tell Elphaba to sing, so she does, and they realize she has a very good singing voice.

5) (Pages 152-154) Galinda goes to visit Ama Clutch, who is dying of a disease that she actually made up earlier in the novel. Ama Clutch dies.

6) (Pages 154-164) Ama Clutch has a very small funeral. Madame Morrible won't let them have any cream which is apparently something they usually eat at funerals. Glinda confesses to Madame Morrible that Ama Clutch did not have the disease at first (the one she had previously made up) and only got it later on. HERE I AM CONFUSED; Madame Morrible is asking them to do some kind of job... what is she asking of them? They're supposed to work for the wizard some how? And after that they've decided to go to some place....? I have no idea.....
