Wicked book review by Ali

Wicked is the story of Elphaba, who by some strange twists of fate is born with green skin. This girl, who has a terrible childhood, grows up to be the infamous Wicked Witch of the West.
Capital letters play an important role in Wicked. In the story there are two types of animals. There are animals and Animals. Animals can talk and are capable of deeper thought; animals are regular beasts that we know. Through the story Elphaba is fighting for Animal rights. This is one aspect of the story that makes it a classic tale. Elphaba could be fighting for the rights of any group of people, things or any morals. People will always think that something is wrong with their society and want to fight to change that aspect of it.
