The Sneetches Short Story

The similarity and connection existing between the two stories is the point of view in the two essays. The stories are both written in the first person perspective and that

“And that day, the sneetches forgot about who had stars upon thars.” The Sneetches all learned an important lesson on the day Sylvester McMonkey McBean came to their town. If you try to change yourself to be something you’re not, it can end very badly. The Sneetches found that out the hard way. 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

In 1969 there was a monster that terrorized the Environmental Center in Windom, MN. His name was the Samsquanch. The Samsquanch was 8 feet tall, he had long rotten fingernails, he was very muscular, and had a Gorilla like figure. The Samsquanch lived inside of any tree that was big enough for him to stand in it after he carved it out. He was hungry all the time and ate non stop and would kill for his next meal if he had the opportunity. People often venture into the Environmental Center at night and are never seen again. Many people believe that there is a monster lurking, waiting for his next meal.

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.

after reading reviews from him thank you ma'am I have came up with a few similarities and one difference one somewhere or is that the setting in another is the characters change of heart the differences how the short stories end

Words that stand out to me are “Randy roosters and operatic hens”, “true songster”, and “swoops, bleats, echoes, rapidly repeated bebops-I mean rebopped bebops-...”. Most of these words are adjectives. The phrase “Randy” is describing the roosters, operatic is describing the hens, “true songster” is describing Bird, and the last quote is describing what Bird’s music sounded like. The language in these words are general and specific, when talking about the last quote, where Bird’s the sound of music is described.

She also presents a slight rhythm to the reading that allows for smooth reading. In keeping with her open form, there is no set scheme to the rhyme pattern. However, there is a single ending sound constantly repeated without a set pattern throughout the work. She also connects pairs of lines at random just for the sake of making connections to make that particular stanza flow. At the same time, she chose blatantly not to rhyme in certain parts to catch the reader’s attention.

while the first story related to only a slim few. Although these stories related to one another, they did not reach out to the same audience. There are only a few readers who can relate to both at the same time.

Nonsense words are something that will confuse you and much more they also both occur in the Jabberwocky and Lorax. They both have words like biggering and snickety snack. These are two totally made up words one meaning growing bigger and the other the sound of a blade.Nonsense words contribute greatly to both stories greatly whether it is two

In “A Barred Owl,” Wilbur adopts a playful tone through rhyming: “We tell the wakened child that all she heard/ Was an odd question from a forest bird” (3, 4). The rhyme imitates the style of nursery rhymes, creating a joking tone. The playful tone avoids seriousness and weakens the horror of the owl, which contributes to the poem’s style like a nursery rhyme. Wilbur also euphemizes the owl to help create a nursery style. He does not represent the horrible creature of an owl as a carnivore with sharp claws that hunts during the night, but euphemizes it as a “forest bird” (Wilbur 4). The owl’s representation as a safe forest bird refers its figure to the enthusiastic birds with heavenly sounds in cartoons and story books, which often help the protagonist to overcome difficulties and dangers. Referring to nursery imageries of birds, the euphemism contributes to the poem’s style as a nursery rhyme. Creating a playful tone and a nursery style, Wilbur uses rhymes and euphemism to “domesticate fear” (Wilbur

Finally, the last way in which the book and movie are different is how Oz gifts the characters. Scarecrow wants a brain so he is the first to speak with Oz. In the book Oz gives scarecrow a brain made of bran, pins, and needles. Whereas in the movie he gives him a diploma and Scarecrow instantly knows all. The Tin man is next in receiving his gift from Oz. He gives him a heart made of silk stuffed with sawdust in the book. In the movie Oz gives him a testimonial that make the Tin Man very happy. The Cowardly Lion is after Tin Man and he wants courage. In the book Oz has him drink some green liquid, while in the movie he gifts him a medal of honor. Dorothy is the last to get what she wants. In the book she has to goo on another journey, but to see The Good Witch of the North in order to get home. She doesn’t know how she will get home now

Once in the space hotel, the President of the USA spoke to them over the speakers. Mr. Wonka spoke back like a martian to confuse them. The President invited them to visit the White House, but something in the elevator scared Grandma Josephine. There were monsters, Vermicious Knids, that were in the hotel and they spelled “SCRAM”! all over the floor. Mr Wonka, Charlie, and family, all ran back into the glass elevator and flew away. A Knid turned into a big long stick and wrapped around the elevator and tried to squish them, but it could not crush the elevator. The rest of the Vermicious Knids attacked the space capsule and broke their rockets. Mr Wonka and the glass elevator had to tow the space capsule back to earth, through the atmosphere,

As a group, Sara, Derek, and I decided to alter the classic nursery rhyme Pop! Goes the Weasel. Our familiarity with the rhyme and our interest in its ambiguous history enticed us to give it a modern adaptation. Since most of the variations hold little modern meaning and the tune appears to be more widely known than the words, we felt free to play with the rhyme. However, achieving that same sense of whimsy and play was more difficult than expected – especially since we chose to incorporate the importance of vaccinations in order to play on the ‘weasel’ / ‘measles’ rhyme. We also adjusted the gameplay to augment this theme, and often had to dial back as we found ourselves overcomplicating the rules to serve the new meaning. Creating something that is fun to say and play is difficult – even more so when you are trying to introduce a dialogue that isn’t fun in nature, as you are relying on the sound of the words to convey that whimsy rather than the meaning.

4. The whole poem has an apostrophe. The Jabberwock is a metaphor for the despair of having to continually count meters and create rhyme. Since the despair cannot do that itself, Carroll created a personification by turning despair into the Jabberwock.
