Once-Ler And Greed

In The Butter Battle Book, by Dr. Seuss differences between two groups of people turn deadly as they see one another's beliefs as stupid and decide to attempt genocide on one another. It is set in two towns separated by a wall. One called the Zooks the others are Yooks. He uses a young Yook who is easily influenced by his grandfather to progress the conflict between the two sides as one side attacks the other. Throughout the story, Dr. Seuss uses exaggeration, incongruity, and parody to gain attention within his satire.

The Lorax, written in 1971 was Dr. Seuss' personal favorite. He wrote a masterpiece about pollution- its causes and the

Born in 1904, Theodor Seuss Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss, is perhaps one of the most beloved children’s authors of the twentieth century. Although he is most famous as an author of children’s books, Geisel was also a political cartoonist, advertisement designer, and film director. He used the power of imagination to produce unforgettable children’s books and helped solve the problem of illiteracy among America’s children. By using his experiences in life as a foundation for most of his books, Theodor Geisel was able to shape the character of many of his readers, as well as teach children subliminal messages through a unique writing style that incorporated various elements and techniques. Through a few of his books,

“ I do not like green eggs and ham I do not like them Sam-I-Am.” These famous words not only started my childhood but many children’s childhood. Theodore Seuss Geisel or most commonly known as Dr. Seuss was born on March 2, 1994 and from there the world was changed. Theodore Geisel is a charismatic man who put his lively personality into his fun and lighthearted books like Green Eggs and Ham, The classic Cat in the Hat, and the iconic How the Grinch Stole Christmas.

A poet, a teacher, an activist – These are all the things that Theodor Seuss Geisel managed to be. Geisel was born into the German family of Theodor Robert Geisel and Henrietta Seuss Geisel on March 2, 1904. He grew up having pride in his German background, but it all changed to shame after he experienced the torment of living through WWI. Despite the discouraging experiences he had during those times, they were not enough to stop the very talented “Dr. Seuss”. Geisel showed many that there were no boundaries to the imagination. Because of the hardships he had to overcome, the impact he left on young children, and the criticism he received from others, Theodor Seuss Geisel will always be remembered as the

Dr. Seuss is probably the American writer who has so far had the greatest impact on children's literature. The intelligent usage of vivid illustrations, imaginative characters, and catchy rhymes made it easy for people who grew up reading these stories to recognize them. However, although the author worked tirelessly at his craft, he is not well-known since he did not seek after personal fame. Most of the fans to his literary materials are not well conversant with the details of his private life. For instance, most people are not aware that Dr. Seuss was not a doctor, but simply added the prefix to his pseudonym to provide credibility to the menagerie of characters in his works (Thompson 21). He worked as a writer and a cartoonist, publishing nearly more than sixty books. Some of the most famous pieces of his work include “Green Eggs and Ham” and the “The Cat in the Hat.”

At the age of fourteen Dr. Seuss joined the war effort in hopes to make a difference. Being part of the war effort was a major part of Seuss’ life as a child (“Grahame-Smith” 10). Dr.

Dr. Seuss I took an unconventional approach in the topic I chose for my reading assignment – whereas most groups selected single novels, my partner and I opted to read a collection of short stories by none other than the notorious Dr. Seuss. Were I writing this essay on a “normal” book, I would be able to pose a question about the book itself and answer it in an ordinary sort of way. However, given the subject matter I have chosen, an essay on an individual book, though possible, would be a very tricky thing to do. It would be wiser, and probably easier, to respond to the man himself. My decision to respond to the man himself makes many more choices – what facet of Dr. Seuss shall I ask myself questions about? I think

Dr. Seuss, also known as Theodor Geisel, had a humble beginning in the early twentieth century. Dr. Seuss grew up in Springfield, Massachusetts and learned to draw at his local zoo. This began his creative thinking and unique drawing style. Dr. Seuss used his wild imagination and innovative art style to create many classic children’s books.

Branded as Dr. Seuss, Theodor Seuss Geisel and his many works are beloved by children and adults alike. His creations such as The Cat in the Hat and How the Grinch Stole Christmas! turned him into today’s superstar author for beginning readers (Pascal, 2011).

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.

The article by Thomas Cassidy, points out the instrumental role that greed plays in the modern corporation. Modern Economists have always seen greed as not only a necessary element in the corporate environment, but as also a vital part of the successful evolution of a public company. As the article points out, “Economists from Adam Smith to Milton Friedman have seen greed as an inevitable and, in some ways, desirable feature of capitalism. In a well regulated and well balanced economy, greed helps to keep the system expanding”.
