When we think of prejudice, we often think of racism. However, racism and prejudice are not interchangeable terms. Through the phrase “power plus prejudice,” we have learned that racism, for example, can only be achieved with power. One can only be racist towards someone else if he or she has the power to do so. Meaning, is this person white or black? If they’re white, they have power ergo can be racist. Throughout both “Mixed Blood Stew” by Jewell Parker Rhodes and the story “The Sneetches” by Dr. Seuss, the concept of power plus prejudice is portrayed.

If I had lived during the Holocaust, the hardships would include lack of shelter, starvation, and survival. To start, people struggled to find a safe shelter. The book Milkweed is about a boy who has to change the locations of his shelter to be able to survive.

First, the movie stated that the Plain-Belly Sneetches felt inferior to the “better” Star-Belly Sneetches, because they didn’t have stars. The Star-Belly Sneetches would turn away and ignore the Plain-Belly Sneetches. Then, the Star-Belly Sneetches wanted to be different and better than the new Star-Belly Sneetches, so they paid their money to Sylvester McMonkey McBean to be different again. The original Star-Belly Sneetches wanted to feel superior

The Sneetches was a very good show that showed us many valuable lessons in life today. This was a book originally written by Dr. Seuss that was turned into a show. In this show, there were two different kinds of sneetches. One kind of sneetch had stars and the other ones did not. They both learned a valuable lesson. The plain-bellied sneetches were getting tired of the star-bellied sneetches thinking they were better than them. First, the sneetches without stars tried to get stars on their bellies from a guy with a machine. They thought that they were the same now. The star-bellied sneetches didn’t like that because they were the originals and it wasn’t fair that the plain-bellied sneetches had stars now. So the star-bellied sneetches got their

The Sneetches with the star-belly were the best, and looked down upon the Sneetches without star belly.
