The Lorax Essay
The values that were held by the Lorax were that he spoke for the truffula trees to keep them safe since trees did not talk.When the Lorax would try to keep them safe it didn't quite work how he wanted it to. Nobody really listen to what he said the Lorax would try to tell everybody it take years for them to grow and to come back. The lorax also thought Oneler’s success was way too fast to come.Their values impacted in dramatic ways such as cutting down the trees down and the Lorax even telling people that they shouldn’t do it but nobody ever listens to him.They were destroying homes of the fish and the birds such as the fish had to go somewhere else because it has been polluting the water turning it dark.The birds the sky
was to dark and the were unhappy where they were at so the Lorax told the animals to leave. My ecological perspective of is that you shouldn’t destroy forests or any kind of habitats. Animals could die or possibly slowly go extinct because some animals could stay or immigrate mostly depends on what mammals they are.Cutting down trees for paper we don’t need so much paper because we have technology instead and we can do it online we don’t need paper we needs to save trees. I agree with the Lorax because he had his house there and he only understood how harming things isn’t right. I agree with him because everybody needs a home and if you don’t have a home where are you gonna go? How are you gonna stay safe? My suggestions to make One-ler and the Lorax happy would probably be oneler could substitute the trees to something else similar,Onerler still be getting money.The Lorax would be able to keep his trees and the animal would be able to stay home and keep every healthy.There wouldn’t be any arguing or any problems no drama just keeping everything happy and safe.My thneed
Elijah Anderson wrote an interesting book, The Cosmopolitan Canopy: Race and Civility in Everyday Life, which describes social settings and people interactions in different parts of Philadelphia’s neighborhoods. This book was published on March 28, 2011 by W. W. Norton & Company. Anderson has observed these places in Philadelphia for over thirty years. He uses the observations he made and the stories that people shared with him during his endeavor to answer the following questions: “How do ordinary people in this diverse city interact across and along racial lines? When and how do racial identities figure out into these encounters? When and how do city dwellers set aside their own and other’s particular racial and ethnic identities to communicate
d. Both stories indicate that the ecological footprint of people is greater than the biological capacity for resource renewal. The Lorax shows that Once-ler only cared about his own benefits without thinking about the harm he gives to the resources that are not renewable. The Lorax presents that the society does not believe in sustainable practices and overconsumes the resources. To live sustainably, the society should rely on source of energy that can be replenished, use matter, control population growth and depend on local biodiversity. Like the Lorax, the Truax also does not indicate practicing sustainability. It presents the occurring deforestation and how people get maximum benefits from it. In comparison to Once-ler, Truax understands
The Lorax, is a small orange creature who deomstrates a love of the envrionment and a desire to preserve it. However, his wishes are interuppted by the Once-ler as he endeavors to create an aritfical society and succeeds. Transcendentalism manifests through the creation of these two characters as the Lorax can represedent the transdentalists love of nature, while the Once-ler may illustrate societys corruption of its destructive nature. Moreover, the film and piece of literature display the ability of an indiviudal to be corrupted by society and the advantage of living alone in nature, as the Lorax did. To further explain, the transdentalist belief of noncomformity is depicted through the character Ted, as he strives to find a real tree despite societys love of their fake
Moving out of your home can sometimes be a tough determination to make whether it is for a better living or finding jobs; most of the time, I find it brave to do so.
Abandonment is a feeling known to many people. There are different types and levels of abandonment. In The Bean Trees by Barbara Kingsolver, many characters have been introduced to the feeling of abandonment. Abandoning or being abandoned is constant in the novel and Kingsolver uses it to link all of the characters together.
There were many sacrificial elements that existed in The Bean Trees. Sacrifices that the characters in the novel made for the benefit of others or themselves. These sacrifices played a role almost as significant as some of the characters in the book. Some prime examples of these sacrifices are Mattie’s will to offer sanction to illegal immigrants, the fact that Taylor sacrificed the whole success of her excursion by taking along an unwanted, abused Native-American infant, and Estevan and Esperanza’s decision to leave behind their daughter for the lives of seventeen other teacher union members.
The Bean Trees is a novel which shows Taylor’s maturation; it is a bildungsroman story. Taylor is a developing or dynamic character. Her moral qualities and outlook undergo a permanent change. When the novel begins, Taylor is an independent-minded young woman embarking on an adventure to a new world. She has no cares or worries. She is confident in her abilities, and is determined to make it through life on her own. As she discovers new things and meets new people, Taylor is exposed to the realities of the world. She learns about the plight of abandoned children and of illegal immigrants. She learns how to give help and how to depend upon the help of others. As she interacts with others, those people are likewise affected by Taylor. The other developing characters are Lou Ann Ruiz, Turtle, and Esperanza. Together they learn the importance of interdependence and find their confidence.
By presenting the competing sets of industrial and rural values, Jewett's "A White Heron" gives us a rich and textured story that privileges nature over industry. I think the significance of this story is that it gives us an urgent and emphatic view about nature and the dangers that industrial values and society can place upon it and the people who live in it. Still, we are led to feel much like Sylvia. I think we are encouraged to protect nature, cherish our new values and freedoms, and resist the temptations of other influences that can tempt us to destroy and question the importance of the sublime gifts that living in a rural world can bestow upon us.
He believes that the wilderness has helped form us and that if we allow industrialization to push through the people of our nation will have lost part of themselves; they will have lost the part of themselves that was formed by the wilderness “idea.” Once the forests are destroyed they will have nothing to look back at or to remind them of where they came from or what was, and he argues everyone need to preserve all of what we have now.
Without any rules to hold a society together, it will soon be corrupted and fall apart, leaving the people to become less human, and resorting to savagery. Without any enforcement of the rules set by the boys on the island, they lose sight of the most important things, and prefer to spill the blood and guts of animals for meat. Rather than maintain a fire to be rescued by a ship, they chose the path of painted faces and bloodlust.
a. The Truax points out both good and bad in relations to cutting down the trees. Through communication with Guardbark, the Truax states that cutting down the trees is beneficial for the environment. He explains that the cut trees are being replaced with the new trees that are planted. Furthermore, he says that people are well informed about conservation and that 95 million acres land had been set aside in Natural Preserves. In contrast to the Truax, the Lorax only indicates that cutting down the trees is horrible and gives big damage to the environment. According to the Lorax, the Truffula trees and the animals should be protected since the pristine environment depends on them. When Once-ler cuts all the trees down, the atmosphere gets polluted and the Truffula tree forest’s animals, Swomee-Swans, Brown Bar-ba-loots, and Humming-Fish have no choice other than abandoning their homes. The Lorax is written only from a pessimistic point of view. The only good thing in the story is the ending where the narrator hands the last Truffula tree seed to the child so he can plant and make a positive change
The character development in the story helped me understand the characters. It helped me understand the characters and what they were going through in the story. There were two types of conflicts in the story. They were between the raven and the man and the man was in an internal conflict with his mind and emotions. The theme
Another thing that was symbolized in the book is the conch shell. The conch is what Ralph blew into to get the boys to come together. At first they established rules, one of them being the person holding the conch is the only person who can speak. The conch symbolizes order among the boys. As time past the boys acted more and more uncivil, and they didn't pay much attention to the conch. At this point, order stated to disintegrate. Towards the end of the novel, when the conch was shattered, all civilization of the boys shattered along with it. There was complete chaos on the island.
As mentioned it is obvious that the hopes of the animals for a better life are affected by their own irresponsible behavior. They lost it because of their inability to protect what they gained. The above mentioned points are resulted by their behavior and they are responsible for turning their sweet dream of having a better life into a nightmare.
Tariq Ali uniquely puts into perspective the horrific tragedies behind the Spanish reconquest in his work, Shadows of the Pomegranate Tree, by capturing the history in the perspective of a Muslim family who lived in a village just outside of recently conquered Granada. He does this in order to expose the cruelty and intolerance of the Archbishop Xemenes de Cineros. Ali also uncovers the faults in not only Christianity, but also in Islamic ideology by having many character’s from the family Banu Hudayl debating and questioning Islamic beliefs which may parallel with the author’s own beliefs, or lack thereof. (Tariq) One of Ali’s strongest focuses however, was to expose the lack of urgency many Muslims felt after the fall of Granada. Many Muslim’s
