The narrator foretells of how the Whos will wake to their yearly Christmas routine of getting up early and rushing for toys. The narrator also claims, “Oh the Noise! Noise! Noise! Noise! That’s one thing he hated!”(6). From this the reader is able to gather that the uproar created by the Whos is one of several characteristics of Christmas that the Grinch loathes.

The school method of criticism that I will use to analyze the poem "How the Grinch Stole Christmas” is a Marxist critic. It is a theory, the consciousness of a given class at a given historical moment derives from modes of material production that were demonstrated through the relationship between the Grinch and the people of Whoville. The poem is about the Grinch who hates Christmas so he wants to ruin it for people in Whoville, in which he achieved by stealing the presents from them. The Grinch’s hatred towards Christmas was directly shown in the poem, “The Grinch hated Christmas! The whole Christmas season!” This line demonstrates the Marxist critic in this poem as readers will be able to identify the reason for Grinch’s hatred towards Christmas

In ‘A Christmas Carol’, Dickens presents Ignorance and Want in a metaphorical fashion, depicting them as children. This is done in such a manner as to shock and appall the reader, leading to greater emotional investment.

Events from the past can influence people to change their life for the better. Influence from anyone and anything can definitely affect you. Chances are, if you have done atrocious things, you probably want to try and do some good. This the case for the main characters in the stories “A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens and “A Retrieved Reformation” by O’ Harey. Ebenezer Scrooge is a greedy, grumpy man who hates Christmas and really anything that involves joy. One night, when three spirits come to him to inform him about the past, present, and future, he decides to turn his life around and change for the better. Jimmy Valentine is a safe cracker who moves to a new town. Once he meets a girl name Annabel, he decides to literally change his

How the Grinch Stole Christmas”, also known as “The Grinch”, is a 2000 family-based, Christmas-themed, comedy film delivered by Universal and Imagine Entertainment and based on the 1957 children’s picture book written by Dr. Seuss of the same name. Directed by Ron Howard (who also directed “Splash”, “Rush”, and “The Dilemma”), “The Grinch” was the first full-length feature film adapted from the series of outstanding and beloved Dr. Seuss tales. Since the film was the first to be based off one of Seuss’s famous children's books, many additions had to be made to the storyline to make the film fit the era’s “standards” by bringing it up to feature-length, leaving the young and older audience intrigued, and most importantly keeping the legacy of Dr. Seuss's works intact. In addition, this included adding some vivid information about the

On November 26, 2016, I attended the Emerald City Theatre Company production of Charles M. Schulz play Charlie Brown Christmas.The production of the play was great for the children who were in attends of the play.The production took away the 4th wall.Which help the children of the audiences be a part of the play a couple of times.Still, it 's a good and time-efficient choice for family members who are used to the animated Charlie Brown and wanting it to be the same as the TV special. The productions of this play were successful through stage design, lighting crewing, and acting. Those three aspects made the quality of the play stand out to me, as an audience member.

How The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, is a poem written by Dr. Seuss. The superiority of males, is a hidden message shown in this poem. The story is about a man who wants to stop Christmas. He does this by stealing all the presents form the Who family. He comes across Cindy-Lou Who. The first and almost immediate impression we are given is that she is small and tiny. “Little Cindy-Lou Who……. this tiny Who daughter,”. In comparison to the Grinch (who is big), Cindy-Lou is inferior to the Grinch because of her size. This also suggests that women in this time were seen as inferior to men or looked up men (in relation to height). Cindy-Lou is the only female character in this poem. This goes

During a scene in A Christmas Carol, Scrooge is back in his room after the encounter with the Ghost of Christmas Yet-to-Come. He thinks about going to a Christmas celebration at his nephew’s house and later he stands in front of the dining-room door that belongs to his nephew’s house. “He turned it gently, and sidled his face in…’Fred!’ said Scrooge. ‘Why bless my soul!’ cried Fred, ‘who’s that?’ ‘It’s I...Will you let me in, Fred?’ Let him in! It is a mercy he didn’t shake his arm off...nothing could be heartier.” (Dickens 62-63). The themes of the Christmas Carol and How the Grinch Stole Christmas are similar since the theme is about spending time with family and others. Except How the Grinch Stole Christmas uses made-up species and the Christmas Carol uses humans to explain the theme and hint the theme throughout the story. Furthermore, the same theme is shown in the scenes of How the Grinch Stole Christmas. The Grinch decided to steal all the presents, lights, trees, and food at night that belonged to the Whos. When the Whos wake up in the morning and realized that everything was gone they were still happy even though there was no presents. The Grinch wonders, ponders, and thinks about the reason why the Whos are still happy without presents or lights. He thinks for quite a few moments until he figures out the reason. He finds out that Christmas is about family

In Dr. Seuss’ The Grinch Who Stole Christmas it is very evident that the Grinch is a very miserable, dark and sad who. His negative views of the holiday season and familial activities and traditions must come from a very negative and lonely upbringing. The Grinch’s childhood and family life must have been very difficult because it is very hard for someone to decide they don't enjoy such a cheerful holiday season out of the blue. The Grinch must have had little to no family growing up, and seeing all the other Whos being surrounded by family and love must make him very jealous and upset. It is also possible that something horrible happened to the Grinch around the Christmas season. If so, he would be constantly reminded of it every year and
