Short Story Of The Grinch

Grinch saw Cindy Lou as just another Who, but as time progressed the Grinch came to the realization that she was someone who truly cared about him when no one else did, ultimately changing his outlook on Whoville as a whole. The theme of “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” involves Cindy Lou’s persistent attempts to change the Grinch’s outlook on Christmas. An example for this can be in the scene where Cindy Lou took the time out to go to Mount Crumpit and invite Mr. Grinch to the Holiday Whobilation, a Christmas celebration, where he’d be receiving a special award and tons of food from the townspeople upon getting word on his touching story. With Mr. Grinch as the protagonist and Cindy Lou as an antagonist, the film was able to give a very relatable and sympathetic draw to the audience. Cindy Lou affected Mr. Grinch because she was the only one who saw the goodness buried deep within his cold heart. One can clearly understand the stories meaning as the characters performances were perfect in regards to the message being conveyed. Jim Carrey was brilliantly funny with his improvised jokes, goofy gestures, and realistic emotions as he portrayed the evil, yet likable, Grinch. The Whoville characters, played by Taylor Momsen, Bill Irwin, Molly Shannon, Jeffrey Tambor, and Christine Baranski, were fun, energetic, and full of spirit while expressing a true sense of happiness surrounding the atmosphere of Whoville. It made you want to choose sides as you

Twas the night before Christmas, two creatures on trial, one who is cheap, and the other who is vile. The Grinch from Dr. Seuss’s, How the Grinch Stole Christmas and Ebenezer Scrooge from Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol are head to head against each other to be the meanest this Christmas. The Grinch is a putrid green monster who lives up in a deep, dark cave, hating all cheer. Scrooge is a miser who hates all human life and never buys anything that’s not cheap. The Grinch is meaner because he goes down to Whoville, rips everything with holiday cheer away from the poor Whos, and doesn’t even care, he just smiles with hatred to Christmas. He does all this just for the fun of it.

A Christmas Carol is the classic story by Charles Dickens about the transformation of Ebenezer Scrooge. He is guided by three spirits, as they conduct him on his travels through time, teaching him to move beyond his earlier cruelty and hatred of mankind. With the guidance of the spirits, Scrooge learns the true meaning of family, love and Christmas. The spirits all influenced Scrooge in unique ways and taught him different lessons. The spirit that was the most significant in Scrooge’s transformation was the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come.

Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol was first published in London on the 19th of December 1843, the novella was instantly popular and still is to this day. Dickens inspiration for the short story seems to come from his childhood experiences and his sympathy for the poor. In the story a miserable old man, Ebenezer Scrooge, is shown the error of his ways and what will come of it if he doesn’t make drastic changes. Various ghosts and spirits slowly transform him into a kinder more pleasant man. A Christmas Carol is a powerful novella that uses symbolism like the children Ignorance and Want, Scrooge’s transformation, and Scrooges nephew Fred, to reinforce significant themes like social isolation, rebirth, and family.

Although a sociologist can look at Dr. Seuss’ The Grinch that Stole Christmas in all three of the major theoretical perspectives, the main one expressed is symbolic interactionism. The Grinch that Stole Christmas is a story about a “who” who was not considered to be part of their “whoville” society due to the fact that he not only looked different from the rest of the people, but he acted in different ways than their norms. The story is merely about how the Grinch hates the “whos,” because of how they treated him; until, a little girl named Cindy Lou Who gains a curiosity for the Grinch and wants to give him another chance to be a part of their society. Throughout the story both of the main characters develop a deep connection to each other. Upon viewing the story from a symbolic interaction perspective view, I discovered how the story thematically symbolizes an important part of Christmas by giving people another chance; meanwhile, focusing on the relationship between the main two characters help them regain faith, and while the setting symbolizes their society’s purpose.

“The Grinch hated Christmas! The whole Christmas season! Now, please don't ask why. No one quite knows the reason. It could be that his head wasn't screwed on quite right.

The next perspective the Grinch demonstrates is humanistic. Being humanistic means you have the freedom to change your behavior. Following this concept, you could have something called unconditional positive regard which is a basic acceptance of someone no matter what they do or say.

Another concept he showed was his strong self-actualization which is the growth of an individual toward fulfilling higher needs.
