In the book, this doesn't happen. Instead they just show the Grinch realizing the true meaning of Christmas and going back to Whoville to return the presents. The last distinction I found was the age of Cindy Lu. In the book, the say that Cindy Lu was no more than two. But in the movie, she looks older than two.
At the end of the story, the reader can indicate that Ralph has lost his innocence by the quote, “Ralph wept for the end of innocence, the darkness of man’s heart, and the fall through the air of true, wise friend called Piggy” (Golding 261). Being under a dictatorship can demolish any kind of sanity one has. Now Ralph has realized what power and manipulation can do to one person. He never intentionally plans on becoming a savage, and unfortunately, he misses his dignity. In response, Boyd comments, “It is rather the coming of an awareness of darkness, of the evil in man’s heart that was present in the children all along” (Boyd 27).

In Dr. Seuss’s poem “The Grinch Who Stole Christmas”, the author focuses on Marxism and the effects it has on society. Marxism or Marxist criticism analysis literature in an economical view point and considers the main issues to be economical privilege or lack thereof. In the poem, it starts off stating that the Grinch did not like Christmas because “his head wasn't screwed on just right. It could be, perhaps, that his shoes were too tight” this seems to imply that the Grinch didn’t have proper education due to financial issues and as a result, he couldn’t think properly. The term “his shoes were too tight” also seems to suggest financial problems as normal people get new shoes when their shoes become too tight.
She has no fear only compassion in her heart. She finds him and she invites him. The Grinch is surprised to say the least. He almost chooses not to accept the invitation because he remembers what they all did to him so long ago but finally goes anyway. Everything seems to go quite well as well as it can no one could think that suddenly the Grinch would be overly friendly.
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
The film leaves a dramatic and humorist appeal behind the film’s characters and aspects in a successful attempt to show a great sense of interesting excitement and comedy for both young and old.

“One of Billie Holiday's most iconic songs is "Strange Fruit," a haunting protest against the inhumanity of racism” (Blair ). “Strange Fruit” was written by Abel Meeropol and published in 1937. Billie Holiday then went to to sing “Strange Fruits” in 1939, it quickly became one of her most requested songs. Abel Meeropol had once witnessed seeing a photograph of a lynching, aghast by what he had just seen, he decided to compose a poem about it. My overall response to the poem was stupefied because of how people could carry on lynching other humans for their race.
