ENDANGERED SPECIES: THE LORAX The Introduction The Lorax is a story about a man who abused the environment and about what he learned. The story begins in the most run-down part of a dull, gray town. A small boy asks the Once-ler to share the secret of the Lorax and how he was taken away. Thus, the story is told as a “flashback” as the Once-ler talks about the Lorax and past events. The Characters: A. The Once-ler, a businessman B. The Lorax, a leader of the plants and animals The

The tragedy of the commons is the idea that one person’s single action may not be bad but many of the same actions over a short period becomes a problem. The Lorax is a great representation of the tragedy of commons. It presents the onceler coming to the area where the Lorax lives and destroying it too fast for it to regenerate. He used up all the resources too

The Lorax is a prime example of the concept, “Tragedy of the Commons.” In the movie we are able to see a beautiful landscape filled with animals, trees, and beautiful skies destroyed by the carelessness of the Once-ler. Although the Lorax speaks for the trees, the Once-ler’s money hungry goals blind him of his wrong doings because if he didn’t do it someone else would. In the beginning of the movie we see grass up to your chest, crows, and skies as dark as granite. That is when the character, the

“The Once-ler perceived a market opportunity, displayed extraordinary entrepreneurial spirit and proceeded to create an industry of Thneed manufacturing. His story exemplifies laissez faire economics and the potential of free market enterprise and what’s truly possible if government “stays out” of markets with needless regulations. So what went wrong?” In order to understand exactly the story of The Lorax as an allegory of economic principles you must understand in terms of different philosophy foundations

Dr.Seuss did not only use his stories to influence and teach children to read, but he wanted to teach them to think critically about serious issues happening in the world around us. In Dr.Seussʻs children story, The Lorax displays events of greed, industrialization, and the desperate need to protect and care for our environment. The series of greedy events begin when the Onceler comes across a land filled with truffle trees, which he finds as an area to begin his business and use the trees as a

Natural resources are defined as “industrial materials and capacities supplied by nature,” and as a society, we depend on these resources, such as trees, water, and plants, to survive. We use these resources everyday, and they are a key part of our world. However, as time goes on they are becoming more and more limited. So, what happens when these resources run out? Such an event is demonstrated in the stories of The Lorax by Dr. Seuss and Easter’s End by Jared Diamond, where natural resources were

If you look into The Lorax closely, when the Lorax said “I speck for the trees”(Suess, 1971), you can tell that he really means to stop cutting down trees and polluting the air and water. You are harming animals and their homes. It is also effecting you, yes your very own self. So just stop cutting trees or pollution the earth. It doesn’t do anything but please our selfs. In the book, The Lorax, Mr. Once-ler wasn’t listening to the Lorax, and because of it, all of the truffula trees were

he Lorax, by Dr. Seuss is a light-hearted but cautionary tale with a critically important message. If we do not collectively take responsibility for the stewardship of the environment, then our own world will soon be like the one that the Lorax left behind. Left to the devices of greed-based business interests, the resources of our world are being consumed at an abominable rate. And soon, they will all be gone. So while the Once-ler did eventually see the error of his greedy ways, it was already
