Wizard of Oz Worldbuilding Map

    For this assignment, I chose Shutter Town of the Munchkin Country as my small village to make a map of. I viewed this town as very interesting as they're is not much information of it throughout Baums work or in the subsequent novels released in or out of canon. Even after reading and researching, only small pieces of lore and one drawn image exist of the town or its inhabitants. I used this image, and what I read as my foundation along with the maps

Shutter Town is a town located in the Munchkin Country. Its inhabitants are known as the Shutter Faces, a race of people who have shutters attached to their faces to keep anyone from seeing them or from seeing or hearing anything. They are shut-ins and prefer to be left alone, both from outsiders and from each other. The Shutter Faces live below ground, rarely coming out from outside of their homes, with the only landmarks by which to see their houses being the chimneys that reach from the ground and stick out in a rolling grass field.        The shutter faces have very little outside of the earth except of course for the King of the Shutter Faces. The king sits in the center, upon the tallest chimney and forbids others to come inside his town. The only other inhabitant who comes up from the ground is the Shutter Smith, the man who creates and maintains the inhabitants shutters. The town is nearby the Blue Forest which holds the Bandits Cave. 

Here is the map I drew of the village itself:

Assessment

What is your reaction to the text you just read or viewed? Unique exploration of a future where you can grow a horse like a Magic Grow Dinosaur from the 2000's. Interesting use of dialogue and internal monologue as a character prepares their horse for the horse competition. The emotional toll of the endeavor and physical increase or decrease of your character are described in a disturbed and almost alien manner. The concept feels like it takes place a few distance years ahead of us and is meant to show the impact of drugs and prescriptions, both on your character and their use of a Dexobrimadine drip everyday, and the hormones, nutrients and other injections given to your horse larva. Feels very comedic but tragic. What connections did you make with the story that you read? Discuss the elements of the work of which you were able to connect. I was able to connect to the ticking clock of a deadline present in the game. Your character is given 20 days to grow, raise, train, and de
