    A Christmas Carol, written by Charles Dickens, and How the Grinch Stole Christmas by Dr. Suess are very similar. First off, the setting of both stories are related since they take place in small towns and both begin on Christmas Eve and end on Christmas Day. However, the Grinch lived outside of Who-ville while Scrooge lived in his own small town, which is why no one knew of the Grinch and Scrooge’s whole town was familiar with him. This is also a reason why the Grinch strongly despised Christmas and wanted to end it instead of just not celebrating, like Scrooge. The Grinch was very lonely, even with his dog because he was never invited to parties whereas Scrooge was, even though he declined; this shows that Scrooge may not be liked, but at…

    The Grinch shows how people can change over time in "How the Grinch Stole Christmas". The Narrator states, "And what happened then, Well...

    Certainly, many believe the Grinch’s heart is identical to mine, and when it comes to Christmas, we share uniform emotions. However, the Grinch and I have unalike reasons for despising the season. As told in “How the Grinch Stole Christmas”, no one truly knows why the Grinch hates the entire Christmas season, but my friends know my reasons for hating the season. Sometimes it’s the stress of gifting, the unbearable runny noses, or occasionally the useless gifts I try my hardest to be thankful for. I’m an exceedingly different individual compared to my friends and family, but I am fond of my unique personality.…

    Who can hate Christmas you might ask? As evil and jealousy cross the mind of a mysterious Who, the Grinch has an awful, yet brilliant idea to steal the beloved holiday we know as Christmas. The award-winning movie and book, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, has been a classical Christmas time movie since the 1960’s. Written by the author that many kids are familiar with, the famous Dr. Seuss is the mastermind behind this miraculous story. As Ron Howard brings Dr. Seuss’s masterpiece to life by directing each and every scene, the world of Who-Ville is created into a motion picture film. Don Peterman uses his skills as a professional cinematographer to build the setting of the story into a beautiful, winter wonderland. Jim Carrey plays the voice of a green haired Who, whom hates anything and everything about world of Who-Ville, including Christmas. "No one quite knows the reason. It could be perhaps that his shoes were too tight. It could be his head wasn't screwed on just right. But I think that the most likely reason of all may have been that his heart was two sizes too small." The Grinch lies at the peak of Mount Crumpit, which looks over the cheerful town of Who-ville, filled with the many caring citizens who are eager for Old Saint Nick to arrive soon. Baffled by the thought of someone hating Christmas, Taylor Momsen plays the role of a curious young girl, Cindy Lou Who, that wants to get to know the humble heart of the Grinch for herself. As she begins to talk to the cold hearted Grinch, he gets the repulsive idea to steal Christmas this year. Dressed up in a raggedy Santa costume, the Grinch sneaks into every home in Who-ville, stealing all their Christmas decorations, the carefully wrapped presents, all the delicious Christmas dinner food, and anything he wishes to take back up the mountain in his proto type sled. Christmas morning soon approaches the town of Who-ville, but the thing is, the Who’s do not mourn about…

    American families derive pleasure in viewing Christmas movies, and the hyperbolized plots give children and adolescents, the most influential individuals in society, unreasonable expectations, which affect their practicality. According to the website, “Problems with Christmas Curriculum,” published by Steven A. Gelb, the standard formula used to create the plot of hundreds of holiday movies, shows the same fantasized version of Christmas, which makes one’s choice of how they would want their holiday to take place, difficult. Although several individuals would like the reality of a holiday to more closely resemble the television-version, visual settings, reasons for celebrating, and the holiday’s ending make individual unrealistically expect a more romanticized version of Christmas.…
