So the book : Gotta love it...but it's a tad on the boring side. With all the challenging names and the lifestyles, its also confusing. Elphaba is green, because her mother was raped by an elf. Her father has no idea what happen, and is blaming her green pigment on something unknown. When their second child, Nessarose was born, their father wanted to be causous that the baby wouldnt be born green. In order to do this, Elphaba's mother died during labor and Nessarose was paralized from the waist down. During all of Elphabas childhood, her parents would try to kill her because she was green and ugly. Whether it being drowning or poinsoning,Elphaba would always get out of it.
