ANSWER DO NOT READ THIS UNTIL YOU HAVE READ THE RIDDLE!!




Answer
They all relate to the musical Wicked.
The answers to the riddles are, in order: friendship, the Land of Oz, rebellion, witches.

Friendship, once it's made, is hard to sever, and you can be friends with any person, as long you remain friendly.

The land of Oz was created by L. Frank Baum, which is pronounced like the weapon that one throws and it explodes. It also possess the famous Yellow Brick Road. Oz is typically broken up into its four regions, which if you read other Oz books or the novel by Gregory Maguire on which Wicked was based,
you'd know were called (starting North and going counter clockwise) Gillikin, Munchkinland, Quadling Country, and the Vinkus.

People rebel when they are forced to deal with something they find wrong.
People rebel against the higher power that is making them go along with the situation that they find wrong.

A witch can defy the laws of nature, which would be written in a science textbook. Most people want the power to magically do whatever they can't do, and yet most recorded "witch" encounters stated that the witches were evil and should be killed.
