Dr. Seuss had a very significant impact on my life in many ways, most of which occurred when reading with my mom and dad as a young kid. My dad, who teaches kindergarten, shared his favorites with me when I was young. My earliest recollection is of the most famous, The Cat in Hat, like other kids my age. Every year, my dad and his teachers at school still dress up for Dr. Seuss day and it brings back great memories. My favorite books are, Oh, The Places You’ll Go, because it’s inspirational and can apply to different scenarios. It also includes outstanding pictures. Another favorite is, “One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish”, that book taught me how to rhyme. When my sister was born, it made me feel really good to be able to read this to

Emancipatory environmentalism is human-welfare ecology understanding that aims to enhance life by creating a safe and clean environment, is a part of wide concern with even justice and reflected tendency, later industrial societies to place more importance on "quality-of-life" issues than on traditional economic concerns.

In my opinion, “The Lorax” by Dr. Seuss is generally a good story. Besides the political commentary, it is merely a pellucid story that metaphors a pervasive environmental problem triggered by human and industrialization. Some comments about this book seem to be a little complicated. For example, in Pleasants’ view, “the story’s theme of idyllic nature despoiled by greedy humans is, at best, oversimplified”. She thinks such a story cannot ignore “the necessity for humans to live and labor in nature”. However from my perspective, I think when Dr. Seuss wrote this story down, what he wanted is to educate youngsters to care about the environment and protect the ecology instead of teaching children about the dark side of capitalism.
