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.

Following the reading of the poem The Grinch Who Stole Christmas by Dr. Suess, it can easily be decided that the proper school of criticism to use is the Marxist Theory due to its thorough connection towards the chosen written piece. As this theory progresses forward with the idea of a constant endeavour among social classes, which should at some point lead to a society where there are absolutely no classes whatsoever. Meaning that the concept is displayed throughout the poem by the Grinch himself. In the sense that he, being an isolated charactered for majority of the context, with no interaction at all with the people of Whoville for the time of Christmas celebrations or anytime at that, holds a much different view upon the world and Christmas,

One of the most enduring Christmas stories of all time is Charles Dickens’ classic, A Christmas Carol. The story has been told and re-told through books, plays, film and television countless times, and still the legend of Ebenezer Scrooge lives on. Even his name, “Scrooge” has found use as noun in our modern vocabulary to describe someone who is “mean with money” (Oxford Dictionary of English, 2010, 2016.). But how true to the original story are these adaptations, and do they maintain Dicken’s original intent of portraying a curmudgeonly miser’s Christmas transformation? Let’s explore these questions in comparing Dicken’s original text to the 1999 film version starring Patrick Stewart.

Twas the night before Christmas, pale and yellow moonlight illuminated a house deep in the woods. Tall pine trees surrounded the house, like giants pointing at the inky black sky. Flurries of snowflakes swirled in a hurry around the house. The house stood alone and abandoned, adorned with Christmas lights, but not the ones you would see on any ordinary house. Some lights were fading, once bright and colorful but now a former shell of what they once been. Others burned out in a spark while the ones left were shattered. The front door was decorated with a rug that could be mistaken as an animal. The tree inside the house was not in the most pristine condition, either. The tree slumped in a dark corner. The top of the tree stretched out like bony fingers grasping at the air. The shiny, glinting ornaments that once fashioned the tree were now shattered. The wallpaper plastered to the wall was now peeling off, like it was rotting. The paint on anything on the house was now faded and chipping away. Stale air filled with dust occupied the house. The house was indeed creepy and not in the most pristine condition. Even more mysterious, the house would only ever appear on the night of Christmas Eve. Despite this, many local teenagers and explorers were drawn to the house. Anyone who was brave enough or dumb enough would enter and see the house in its deteriorated state. One Christmas Eve night many years ago, an explorer had stumbled across the house. He had been in the snow for what
