Dr. Seuss and His Amazing Literatures
Dr. Seuss is a well know children’s literature writer. Many people probably can recognize his unique style of illustrations and story characters but not know who this writer is. His way of drawing buildings is and characters is something that symbolizes him. For example when you look at a normal building, it should have a geometric shape so the building actually “makes sense”. However the way that he draws his architectures does not include any shape that make sense, or that directly tell you that it is a “structure of a house”. His unique drawing style has grabbed many people’s attention. Especially for children, his special way of drawing buildings and people are very eye catching and funny.

During his career, he published 46 children’s books, which include the famous ones: The Cat In the Hat, Green Eggs and Ham, One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish, and How the Grinch Stole Christmas! Etc. In his stories, he often uses rhyme. For example in the beginning of the book The Cat In the Hat, the two children are thinking about what to do and they said, “ Too wet to go out and too cold to play ball. So we sat in the house. We did nothing at all.” These sentences have rhyme in the ending of each end. Not only in the Cat in the Hat, most of his stories are written in this type of simple rhyming poem style.

As usual this was something that Dr. Seuss never had trouble with. The Cat in the Hat was published with 48 different words.

    Rhyme is words that sound alike; it’s a communication of two or more words with similar-sounding ending syllables placed so as to echo one another. In the poem “On Being Brought from Africa to America” by Phillis Wheatley, a rhyming scheme is being used at the end of each sentence. Also along the same lines of this poem, the words at the conclusion of a line that rhyme with words at the completion of additional lines to show harmony. For an example Remember, Christians, Negroes, black as Cain, /May be refin’d, and join th’ angelic train (lines 8-9). The same vowel-consonant combination has used the words; Cain and train continue to produce an appealing sound. Therefore, the first four lines of this poem are about the journey of a woman from…

In 1991 a few week before his death, Judith and Neil Morgan asked him if there was anything he might have left unsaid. He said “Any message or slogan? Whenever things go a bit sour in a job I’m doing, I always tell myself, ‘you can do better than this.’ The best slogan I can think of to leave with the kids of the U.S.A. would be ‘we can… and we’ve got to… do better than this.’’ Seuss wrote books that made people think and imagine. In the book On Beyond Zebra! , he invented an entirely new alphabet because, as the book’s narrator explains, “In the places I go there are things that I see / That I never could spell if I stopped with the Z. / I’m telling…

In the middle of the story, Mack, a turtle, tried to rebel because of how badly all of the turtles are being treated. “But down at the bottom, we, too, should have rights. We turtles can’t stand it.

Mack is facing truly harsh conditions being at the bottom of a heavy tower, but even if all of that is there, it didn’t stop him from voicing his opinion. Showing perseverance through all of that time takes strength and courage to additionally voice his…
