The Lorax By Dr. Seuss: Literary Analysis

This quote from "The Scarlet Ibis" wrote by James Hurst says a lot about Doodle and his brothers fillings towards him. Doodle and his brother have a close relationship throughout the story. The bleeding tree that stood just outside of the kitchen window now where a grindstone stands, now it's like if an oriole sings in the elm, its song seems to die up in the leaves, a silvery dust. (p.416) The bleeding tree and doodle are alike because the bleeding tree is not there anymore, but the memories about it still are just like Doodle because the memories that him and his brother have will never be forgotten.

His main purpose for writing this book was most likely his involvement in WWII as B-25 bombardier. He needed to explain the insanity of countries that start wars and the even more insane soldiers who fight them. Heller focuses mostly on the bombardiers as that was what he was himself. These plane-flying and bomb-dropping characters don’t change much throughout the book, only more is revealed about how absolutely mental all of them are. Some of this insanity includes a guy who buys eggs for seven cents, sells them for 5 cents, and makes a profit or a guy who is prosecuted for stealing a tomato by the guy that gave him the tomato.

Another reason that they were robber barons was they took down smaller companies so that they could have all of the money in the industry. Rockefeller also manipulated the country's financial system so that he could make more money. Carnegie was also ruthless to his workers. His employees were broke in freezing temperatures and had no food

There are tons of great parts in this book, but I can only name three. I like when Cole tried to help Peter showing that Cole had really changed and could contain his anger. Second part is when Coles asked the sparrows if there were okay after the storm knocked down the tree that their nest was in. Last is when Cole gave Peter the at.oow because Cole trusted Peter and hoped that Peter could someday trust him. I would recommend this book to someone else to read because it shows the power of anger and how hard it is the contain it

Rutherford spent most of his time trying to take down Tweed so much that he didn’t thrive and work towards being successful at something. When he spent most of his time doing this, the Republicans considered this as a major cover-up. The Democratic came back with a response and argued that the length of time was necessary for state power to isolate and weaken local government

Theodore used the Sherman Anti-Trust Act to break apart many monopolies that he thought had gone bad. President Roosevelt believed that the huge “trust bosses” were acting foolish, because they were as rich as possible and didn’t care or notice to care about the common man and the desperately struggling poor. Theodore Roosevelt advocated for arbitration and became the “Trustbuster” because of all of the hard work that he put in as

You also see Holling dissatisfaction with his life when he feels like he needs to have guts against Doug Switetick’s brother who was charging towards him. You could also call Holling immature due to the fact that he insults Meryl Lee for no reason. The story continues and some small events happen but then occasionally big events happen. My first big event would be when he has to clean the chalk boards and gets a cream puff out of it.

Amir continually hits Hassan with the pomegranates and as Hassan falls down Amir yells at Hassan by saying “Get up, hit me” (Hosseini, pg 86) Amir wants Hassan to hit him with a pomegranate so he can grieve his physical pain and as a punishment for his guilt towards Hassan. He does not respond to Amir and Hassan crushes a pomegranate on his head and walks back home. Their friendship goes downhill. Decades after, Amir as an adult revisits the hill near his home in Afghanistan.

The Central Pacific workers had to blast through mountains with dynamite and had to deal with avalanches from snow storms. Had to build bridges, live within labor camps and had extremely poor wages. The railroad culture was considered to truly be “Hell on Wheels”. Specifically, because of all the drinking, gambling and prostitution, and for the Chinese opium was

People complain about pollution from factories, cars, global warming, and the melting of polar ice caps, yet many people disregard the dangerous that come with fracking. Fracking is the process of injecting liquid at high pressure into subterranean rocks, and/or boreholes to force open existing fissures and extract oil or gas. Fracking is causing an epidemic economically and environmentally. Fracking is continuously destroying the earth day by day. From the endless fracking today’s economy is depleting.

Faber explains to Montag that he doesn’t want to get involved by claiming ”I can sit comfortably home, warming my frightened bones, and hear and analyse the firemen 's world, find its weaknesses, without danger. I 'm the Queen Bee, safe in the hive” -Bradbury pg 88. The ultimate boon in Fahrenheit 451 alternatively and more commonly called the climax is when Montag is taken to burn his own house by Beatty. Montag, as angry as can be, turns and burns Beatty. Beatty was a character created for the reader to dislike.

Power is the source of all evil in the world which makes it more dangerous than everything else. Particularly, all of the most horrendous people in history all wanted this one thing called power. Power changes people by corrupting them, making them greedy, and bring out the darkness in people. Corruption only helps a society by trying to gain more power for that one ruler in the region.

One of the worst aspects of the fast food industry, however, is how these executives treat their employees. This mistreatment of the employees is a major aspect of corporate greed,

Could you imagine the pain and burning of having melted tar poured on your entire body then the worst part pulling off the tar as it takes the skin with it. Additionally they were criminals, smuggling tea and hiring thugs to do your dirty work is not only illegal it’s frowned upon in the past and present. A lot of people who died not in battle but in the

The book explains the destruction of the environment simply for the dollar value of the products in produces. The book attacks the login industry specifically, but the message carries on to every company that destroys the planet. In typical Dr. Seuss fashion it flows really well and makes for a fun simple read that anyone can understand, the youngest may not get the message at first but after a few times they will. The best part of this book is the fact that it does teach a lesson, it is aimed at elementary children or younger which is the best time for such a message. If you teach the children the story, and the lesson in The Lorax then they are sure to teach others, and soon that lesson becomes second nature.
