How My Grandma Stole Christmas

Alone with his dog Max on Mount Crumpit, poor Grinch hated the entire idea of all the Christmas bliss. He had a repugnance for all that participated in such holiday because of the countless rejections he received from the Whos as a child. Many Whos including the Mayor of Whoville himself would ridicule him for lack of better appearance making the Grinch feel remorseful and unfit for the Whos’ standards. For this reason, he stayed far, far away from the Whos and anything pertaining to them. No one quite realized the reasonings for the Grinch’s cold-hearted tendencies and rather just came to the conclusion that his heart was just two sizes too small. So the Whos continued on with the life and the holidays without any thought of the grumpy

I saw my father, young and determined, working at the crack of dawn in the brickyard, while my mother stayed home to childproof their small apartment. Using the potent mixture of caffeine and chemicals contained in Mountain Dew, he was able to resist the urge to doze off during his daily classes. I saw myself running around the large oak tree that dwarfed our first house, and couldn’t help but smile as I thought about my mom, pregnant with my sister, walking me to the library to play with the puppets and pick up books about my favorite dinosaurs. I saw the terrifying night that the oak tree was stuck by lightning, and heard my mothers voice over the phone at school, eagerly telling me about my new baby brother. My stream of consciousness was broken as we entered the scorching area where they bake the bricks, but I quickly zoned out again as my grandpa began to explain the technical aspects of brickmaking. This time, the memories took place in a new house, as our cozy home had turned claustrophobic with the addition of a fifth member. Quiet walks to the library were replaced with chaotic days at the pool. The cards began to pick up speed, as I got deeper into my life. The dark years of middle school, when my hair covered my eyes and I

Marxism is a view on society which critiques society, named after Karl Marx himself. To put it simply, Marxism basically exists on the idea which perpetrates the idea that there are societal classes, and major inequalities between the lower class and the upper class. How the Grinch Stole Christmas by Dr. Seuss is a clear example of how the Marxist theory can be applied to written works.

“You just want to get out of class, you don’t need to go to the bathroom that often,” said my teacher.

“Class, class - please. Just be quiet for the last five minutes so I can explain your next assignment.”

When I started learning to write my name we’d recieved a laminated name tag I wrote my name to many times to count till I perfected the writing.

In kindergarten the entire class learning to write my name we’d received a laminated name tag I wrote my name to numerous times to perfection.

The Marxism critic can be defined as the differentiation between social and economics statuses between individuals and society. In How the Grinch Stole Christmas, the Grinch represents the lower class and symbolizes the struggle people endure during the season. The citizens of Whoville represent the upper class and symbolize the rich who are pampered. The Grinch found bitterness during this time because the upper class was able to afford the food, the presents, and the decorations.

The meaning Dr. Seuss implied was focused on the Grinch's materialism. As mentioned by you, the Grinch's "moralistic superego" was the reason for correcting the Grinch's actions (Wong). However, I propose the Grinch's hatred spanned from his focus on materialism, which ultimately distracted him from the true meaning of Christmas.

It had thought it was going to be a normal day at school. I was most definitely mistaken. I had just gotten out of AP Chemistry when my best friend Rylee walked over to me.

The poem “The Grinch Who Stole Christmas” written by Dr.Seuss, is evidently Marxist-based. The underlying element for the theory of Marxism is “class struggle”. This is exemplified within the poem when Dr.Seuss outlines the distinction between the upper and the lower class. The “Who’s” are seen as the upper class, due to their wealthy lifestyle and an immense celebration during Christmas. On the other hand, the Grinch would be classified as the lower class, due to his lack of a home, food, and materialistic items. The Grinch believes that the Who community deserve to experience the way that he feels during Christmas time. In result, the Grinch attempts to ruin Christmas for the Whos by stealing all of their possessions. It is then brought

I sprint down the hall, to the superintendent’s office. As soon as I get there I ask “What’s wrong’’

What the hell is wrong with you? Rustling about in that damn bag of yours. You should know to keep your extras on your desk. What a lazyass you are not to do that at the beginning of class. Heavens above and God Almighty! You are a useless waste of my time!” The teacher squawked at the top of her lungs.

I get up, and yawn I knew I had school today so I stumble to my feet. I knew my mother would be really mad at me. I run down the stairs as Nathan yells food is done. i beat my brother and my sister down the stairs because i knew they wouldn't save any food for me. as i ran down the steps i yelled through the door what we having…… i looked it was oatmeal with ham i stopped dead in my tracks i knew this was going to be nasty. i told Nathan i didn't want any he said oh you have to have some. i pout and say no thanks i hate oatmeal it's horse food. she picked me up and sat me on the chair.

The intercom buzzer rings and the Mrs. Parks voice starts talking. “Students, we are now going to release everyone from school early and we want all of you to go home immediately and wait for your
