"UNLESS someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better, it's not." said in the book called The Lorax by Dr. Seuss. This man has written and published over 60 books in his career. All of his stories have background and meaning to Theodor Geisel. His Books always have a theme or a moral to the story just like when he wrote “The Lorax” and “The Butter Battle Book”. I believe the shared moral between these two books is that humans tend to forget that everyone has an opinion and when we become immersed in power and wealth we tend to dominate and desecrate the environment. The Lorax is a book about a man his name is Once-ler, at first he was filled with excitement for these Tuffula Trees’ because they were softer than silk and could make a garment called a Thneed. Once-ler cut down the first tree the Lorax came out from the stump and tried to tell him to stop. He would not listen because he was overcome with greed and the thought of wealth. Like most people in the business world, he began to build a big factory that would cause a lot of problems for nature and living things around them. He made smog in the air and polluted the pond made the Borwn Bar-ba-loots leave …show more content…

The brilliant aspect of this story was that he got to experience mother nature in one of the most beautiful ways possible. He saw everything happen with his own eyes, and that is what made this chapter so interesting. Although I didn't read the whole book, I am certain that the entire book is just as fascinating as this chapter. I would recommend anyone to read this

When the anticipated senior year finally begins, a typical student at Laurel High School enjoys a brief honeymoon of peer dominance and the illusion that the finish line is in sight. Then, reality sets in. College and scholarship applications burden an already hefty load of work so that by December, much like poor little Max the dog in Dr. Seuss’s The Grinch, seniors feel they are dragging forty times their weight up a steep, snowy mountain. I saw an opportunity several years ago to take advantage of their misery by assigning a document I knew most would need to write anyway, the dreaded personal essay. It makes perfect sense: it fits the Common Core standards, and they need the help.
In “The Lorax By: Dr. Seuss” you read about a boy that finds a large plain and finds the most beautiful trees and takes the seeds from the tree to plant a large forest of them for his own financial gain. After the forest flourishes with beautiful trees and teeming with wildlife. After a while he realizes he can set his business up in the middle of the beautiful forest so he begins cutting down the trees. “The Lorax” comes around the time he cuts down half the forest and tells him to stop cutting down the trees. The man refuses the Lorax and calls his entire family to aid him in the destruction of the forest.
This show how much he really cares about how he feels and that people need books that he was able to read one to people that did not even believe the ways he had. He ran from authorities and met up with this camp where this each had to care for and protect a book of their choice. It all shows that they are not ignorant they willing to put themselves in troubles just to help some of his wife 's
All of these things are good and can relate to things in life. I wanted the book to go against cold-heartedness, tyranny, close-mindedness, cruelty, and things that are just plain bad in the world. I also wanted to show that good always wins against corrupt ways. The bad ways of corrupt organizations, like the Gobblers who took children against their will within the book, will eventually catch up to them.
The author Gladwell helped the reader to reach his message by providing characters with common experiences and turn them into positive experiences. He used characters to help the reader to find hidden messages. Gladwell was trying to make hidden messages easy to locate as a person reads deeper in the chapters within the book, he made this clear since the beginning of his book. The importance of the book is demonstrates how a legacy that includes culture can have failure and can be turned around into success just by an off chance (Locklear, 2016). Gladwell gives the reader a sense of empowerment showing the public to feel self-righteous because they too can become a famous song writer or athlete if they to put in their 10,000 hours of dedicated work to what they love to do (Locklear,
In the 1950’s, Theodor Seuss Geisel released multiple new books including “The Cat in the Hat” and “Horton Hears a Who!” which are both well known stories still enjoyed today. In 1975, Dr. Seuss released “Oh the Things You Can Think!” which is another inspirational story about the intelligence and potential of each person. Many of Dr. Seuss’ books speak more to adults than children which makes them even more influential to American society by reminding adults they still have room to learn and
The book was better at delivering his message because it had shown people’s willingness to give up, their pain, how they felt, and what position they were put in. It included all of those things, which in the speech, it either didn’t include it, or included a very small fraction of what he said through his speech. So why should you care? Why does this have to do with you? You should care about this topic, because sometimes, history can repeat itself.
In the book The Butter Battle Book, by Dr. Seuss, between two different communities of people with different beliefs lays a wall. On one side of the wall live the Yooks who eat their bread butter side up. On the other side of the wall live the Zooks who eat their bread butter side down. The book is a satire of the Cold War, which took place from 1947-1991.This book is better than other satires because it gives the reader a clear story about what the satire is really about and uses many devices to help with the satirization. Throughout the story, Dr. Seuss uses conflict, parody, and reversal to demonstrate the reality of the Cold War.
Also, in the book he helped people realize the significance of nature. From what society thought about nature, to nature being uncharted because people were afraid of it, and then how nature changed Equality 7-2521 as a character throughout the book. It showed how people can changed for better or for worse through different circumstances. I say this, because in society he was not that strong of a character and desired to be able to write or have his own thoughts without breaking rules. He changed and thrived as a character for the better when he went into nature and could think and say what he wanted and experiencing new
In the story it 's a war between the Zooks and the Yooks. The person speaking in the book is a Yook boy talking about when his grandpa took him to the wall between the two sides (Seuss pg 5). But in the story he is speaking to Audrey and also the reader. The reason for there being a war is because the Yooks eat their bread with the butter side up, in contrast the Zooks eat their bread butter side down. Also there is a lot of rhyming in the book.
The Lorax, by Dr. Seuss, is a video that explains what the lumber industries are doing to forests, along with the habitats inside those forests. The Truax, by Terry Birkett, is a short story that explains why the lumber industries are cutting down forests, what they are also doing to help the environment and regrow forests. Dr. Seuss in the lorax makes the point that lumber industries are cutting down too many trees at a time and that will harm the environment in the future. In reality, as stated in the Truax it is stated that for every tree that is cut down, five seeds are planted. The lumber industry seems to be helping the environment rather than harming it, since they are only cutting down one tree, but planting five others that will
