Institution Using Applicable Small Business Terms, Statutes, and Laws to the Fictitious Story of the Lorax
The story of the Lorax is a famous children’s literature written by Dr. Seuss (Theodore Geisel), who argued that his inspiration to write the book was as a result of the fret he had as a result of having read a lot of dull things on conversations that had a lot of preaching and statistics. The Lorax became a standard text read especially on Earth Day Ceremonies. It was published in 1971, and was immediately met with a lot of attention. The Lorax raises a lot of important questions, however, it also offers a lot of answers that,

According to the Once-ler, it all started when the land was clean and wild; when Bears, birds, and fish paled freely. When beautiful trees, the Truffula gracefully grew and bore colorful tufts. The Once-ler drove into this land, once considered as paradise in an horse –drawn carriage and immediately went to cut down a Truffula Tree, which its tufts he carefully knit into a thneed. The Lorax accosted the Once-ler after he had completed the knitting of the first thneed; the Lorax was an old, short, man-thing mossy. The Lorax claimed that it spoke for the environment, the trees; it demanded to know what the Once-ler ha careful knit out of …show more content…
According to Richard Stroup, a free-market advocate, there is need to reform the Endangered Species Act to ensure that endangered species are our friends and not foes. Private ownership is the number one problem for the Endangered Species Act(Nelson, 2006). Of all the endangered species, especially in the US, are dependent on habitats that are privately owned. In order to avert the problem of loss of diversity, then, the focus should be on developing strategies that effectively work on privately owned land. Both the mainstream environmentalists and free-market advocates argue that the current status results in persistent incentives that produce objectionable results
In summary, the Lorax story is a precautionary story that attempts to raise and inform readers of certain important issues. However, it does not successfully characterize and effectively criticize how renewable resources are treated by a free market. Its main theme that as humans we must not act as the Once-ler, is correct. The conclusion of this story is somewhat weak; resource depletion is consistent with the implicit premise of free markets. This is contrary to the principles of free market whose virtues of the free market are focusing on the future(Miller & Cross,

he Tragedy of the Commons in The Lorax and Easter IslandThe Tragedy of the commons is a situation in which a publicly owned resource is exploited to such an extent that the resource is ruined. This means that users of the resource canno longer benefit from it. A uniform idea in the tragedy of the commons is that each person does not weigh the effect of their exploitation of the resource enough, resulting in the resource being over-exploited and eventually being destroyed. Two examples of the tragedy of the commons are Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax, and the story of Easter Island. Although the parties involved in The Lorax and Easter Island may not have cooperated in the same ways, their environments were similarly exploited, resulting in a tragic loss of the public resource available to them. In The Lorax, the Once-ler stumbles upon a truffula forest which he finds to be perfect for his business. He begins to harvest the resources, but is constantly bothered by the Lorax. The Lorax speaks on behalf of the trees, hoping the Once-ler will halt his destructive behavior, however there is no cooperation between the Once-ler and the Lorax. This is unlike the tribes on Easter Island. The natives of Easter Island needed to trade and cooperate with each other to be able to construct the many large statues. Pakandam stated, “...resources were distributed unequally in various parts of the island, what one region lacked, another had in bountiful scores. This forced trade and cooperation as a natural part of life” (11). Although the parties in The Lorax and Easter Island did cooperate in the same way, they still lead to the exploitation of the available resources.
The forest of the Truffula Trees was very lush and full of life. The Brown Bar-ba-loots were playing in their Bar-ba-loot
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,
For the most part, though a childrenʻs story, The Lorax is an environmentalist message targeted to urge young readers who are in time, going to determine our future, to learn from the tragic results of the Oncelerʻs actions. In the beginning of the story, the Onceler discovers the trufffula trees and begins to cut them down carelessly to make clothing, which in turn provided him money to use for his own selfish reasons. In reaction to the Oncelerʻs cruel actions, the Lorax confronts and warns the Onceler that if he continues to pollute the environment and cutting down the resources and homes of the species that live in it there will be consequences. Not caring about anything or anyone but himself, the Onceler continues to cut down the trees and use them for his own benefits, which continues to cause damage to the land and the species

In the case of Banco v. Goody’s, the courts ruled that Goody’s was not wrong for canceling the contract due to the finding of justified in reasonably concluding that Banco could not deliver the product by the date set in the first purchase order between the parties and the failure to deliver the goods by that date would have substantially impaired the value of those goods to Goody’s.
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.”
Thesis Statement- Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax and Lewis Carroll's Jabberwocky, though created in different time periods, share a lot of the same literary techniques and ideas. However, there are also many differences in the way word choice is used, the overall tone of the story, and whether or not there is a moral of the story.
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

Large corporations such as Wal-Mart or Home Depot often come under criticism for putting mom-and-pop shops out of business. While this may be a valid criticism, the consumers neglect to realize that they play the biggest part in shutting these businesses down. Consumers across the country are always looking for the best deals or the lowest prices, and in most cases the larger corporations are where products can be found at the lowest price. Many small business owners and the populations of small towns dislike large corporations moving into the area because they believe it negatively effects the local
