i think that the scarecrow's new brain is simply his new found confidence in the knowledge that he has already obtained in his life. He always thought that due to the fact that because he was a "scarecrow" he had no brain. After OZ explains that everyone had a brain from the smallest living creature to the biggest goon, everyone contained one, and gave the scarecrow a diploma, it simply mad him proud of himself. So i like his "new" brain or his found confidence because it made him seem more proud of himself, and happy. It was like seeing a friend finally succeed in something they have been trying all their lives to do. Stacy B per 3
I think that his brain is very nice. He might have had the knowledge before but he never realized it, the Oz allowed him to see that everyone is capable of being smart. The Oz gave him the confidence to use his knowledge and not just stick to the stereotype of scarecrows. He is proving everyone wrong.
The Scarecrows new brain is a keeper. He is correct in his statement of the Pythagorean theorem. However, it was not as specific as it should have been. He said an Isosceles triangle where it should have been a Right triangle. Also his PhD is just honorary. Which goes to show that even though he did not think he had a brain, he actually did. The piece of paper was a confidence booster that made him feel smart and there fore he was smart.
The Scarecrow always had his brain, he just didn't know it was there. He needed someone to tell him otherwise, so he had a chance to use it and be proud of it. Thankfully the Oz was more than happy to give the scarecrow a PHT - Doctor of Thinkology ;)
Jess S well congrats on the PHT scarecrow but it wasn't very accurate. he states that "the sum of the square roots of ANY 2 sides of and ISOSCELES triangle is equal to the square root of the remaining side" well that brain is a little mixed up! first of all he should have said right triangle and its not just any sides it depends on the side given... a2+b2=c2 c being the hypotenuse. so sorry scarecrow but you i wouldn't keep that brain nor get rid of it but maybe fix it a little.
The scarecrow said that the sum of the SQUARE ROOTS of any 2 sides of an ISOSCELES triangle is equal to the square root of the remaining side. His statement is wrong because it should be a right triangle instead of isosceles and it should just be squared instead of square roots. He shouldn't re-gift though, maybe he can take some math classes to gain more knowledge :)
This cannot be true in any geometry, because he says, "...of any two sides of an isosceles triangle..." If he had said, "of the legs of an isosceles triangle" then it could be true of only some non-Euclidean triangles, such as an isosceles triangle in spherical space, for example, an isosceles triangle having legs equal to 1/6th, and base equal to 2/3rd, of the maximum straight line length.
i agree with the kid that said this, i googled the parts of math i didn't know and it makes sense in the way he explained it.. i'm not sure if this applies completely to trig though. Jacob
Even though he got the Pythagorean Theorem wrong, the scarecrow does seem to have a new-found sense of confidence, and he seems happier. Just don't ask him for any math help. :)
well i am a little late with this blog stuff, but i'm going to say this scarecrow isn't a math person. all i know is he had something to say about the pythagorean theorem.
I think that the scarecrows new brain is a keeper because it gives him confidence in himself that he didn't have before. The scarecrow should have stated the pythagorean theorem rather than the sum of the square roots of any two sides of an isosceles triangle is equal to the square root of the last side. Chris V
I think the scarecrow didn't get a new brain, he had one all along. Any person needs confidence to use a brain, which is what he was really lacking. I think it is sad that he really didn't think he had one, but I'm glad he's finally starting to believe in himself.. Talk about needing to see something to believe it. It's sad that he took so long to use his brain, because it's clearly too late for him to be taught the pythagorean thereom!

he had a brain just never relized it. he needed his adventure with dorthy to discover it
ReplyDeleteTOM D for further note profile thingy put it as like i tell you have no idea why
I think the scarecrow always had a brain. He just needed someone who believed in him (like the Oz)to show him he was capable of so much knowledge.

The scarecrow meant to say that the sum of the square root of any two sides of a right triangle are equal to the square root of the remaining side.

Pythagorean theorem is what the scarecrow is saying
