Essay On The Lorax
The Lorax is for adults as well as kids.

The Lorax is definitely for adults as well as kids,why? The Lorax has some slightly complicated wording obviously meant so adults don’t get bored, ecological devastation so some non ecologically savvy adults can see what they are doing to the world through arguably cute animals and some may say this book is not appropriate for kids, but then why are there pictures? If this was a book for adults only then there would be no pictures at all.

First of all why would the lorax have such wording that is slightly complicated for most young children but easy for most adults? This is no coincidence as for if this book was meant for just children it would have insanely simple wording and next to no punctuation.

Up first, the story- dun-dun-dun! Which is supposedly scary to little kids but all it is is a person ravaging the environment and being mean to the Lorax on the way,but in fact the Once-ler is kind hearted as he actually regrets the going of the native animals.The Lorax is no nudist! In fact this book is staged on a different planet if not multiverse, where even what we take to be humans society may accept naked people or beings even though this is not seen in movie or book as Dr Seuss and the producers of the movie want to keep their PG rating,also the lorax is a completely different life-form from the “humans” which has fur and may not even have privates due to the fact there is no hint of other Loraxes existing, which in turn hints at immortality of the existing Lorax where if other Loraxes exist, they may have a nude accepting society. The book was obviously meant for kids as well otherwise there would have been no pictures.Others may say the rhyming makes the hard to read or it is generally hard to read for kids but on a review on a website a 5-year old read the book with no troubles at

    There are perhaps no days of our childhood we lived so fully as those we spent with a favorite book.” This is a famous quote said by Marcel Proust. Books over the centuries have had an influential impact on the lives of many. Arguably, there are none more influential than children’s books. Children’s books contain important life lessons and teach many children the basic values they will hold for the remainder of their lives. Examples of the best range from the well-known Dr. Seuss books, to the always-popular Winnie the Pooh books. Although those are historically popular, The Rainbow Fish, by Marcus Pfister, is one that should be kept in mind. With it’s enticing illustrations, simple and descriptive context, and lesson it portrays, the children’s book The Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister should be considered for a spot on the “Top 100 Children’s Books” list.…

    More than 150 years have passed since Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation. His quest to prevent slavery from spreading into western U.S. Territories, which began as a political platform for his candidacy for President of United States continued as an ideological mission throughout his administration until his death. It should have ended a political career before it even started. Lincoln’s own evolution which led to an allegiance to a higher authority with respect to the morality of slavery went directly against every social, political, economic and constitutional norm of his day. His belief that every man is created equal under God which included slaves was an issue that divided a nation, precipitated one of the bloodiest civil wars and nearly destroyed a form of democratic government that the founding fathers had fought hard to create a century before Lincoln’s time.…

    According to the American Library Association (ALA), young adult novels are challenged with the best intentions. In most cases a parent will read a book that their child might be reading in class to find out if the book is hazardous to their child’s well-being. If the novel seems problematic, the parent then challenges the book. Even though the purpose of challenging a novel is to keep children from reading about issues that may not be seen as appropriate for their age group, censoring children from difficult subject matter is not always the solution. There is always controversy when difficult issues arise in adolescent geared novels. Even though there are many concerns with Lois Lowry’s The Giver, this book should not be banned from the Coopertown Middle Library.…

    On the surface one may feel that there is a clear divide between children’s books and adults. For instance if we take a look at a typical children’s book cover we often find them to be colourful and decorated with illustrations. In contrast to the supposed adult books that often have mundane simple covers. However, to distinguish if there is a clear divide between children’s books and adults books one must look further than just the cover.…

    Some parents may think it is not healthy for their child but it’s not their place to decide what is healthy for everyone else’s children. Many children enjoy reading this book and many parents do not see anything wrong with this book. I believe that if a parent believes the book is not something there child should read they shouldn’t ban the book, simply don’t let your child read it. This is a reason I think this book should not be banned.…

    With the research I’ve done about the book being banned, my opinion still remains that it’s not right to keep it away from children. I think schools should be allowed to provide the book to students, but I don’t think they should make them read it. If the child wants to read the book and their parents approve, it should be allowed in school libraries. If the book is offencive to you, don’t read it. Just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean nobody should be able to enjoy…

    Early exposure to such mature things can lead a child/teen to be curious. The main character talks about how great drugs are and describes how incredible she feels when she’s high. She also mentions that she never wants to have sex sober, which can encourage adolescences to experiment with it themselves. Her drug use leads to her having hallucinations of worms and maggots eating her body parts, which may cause young children especially to experience intense nightmares. She is accidentally given drugs while babysitting. Luckily the baby was not affected, but “Alice” had major injuries from scratching her body practically raw. Eating disorders are slightly mentioned. The main character struggles with confidence in her body, which leads her to eat very little food and throw it up. Young girls could really take this into consideration and form an eating disorder themselves. When a book is banned, students usually think of why it is banned, not the overall picture, which makes them want to read it even more. Parents and religious groups are especially trying to get the book banned in school libraries. They do not want their children reading things they don’t believe are appropriate. One mother became angered when “Her eight grade daughter was “forced” to read excerpts out loud in one of her classes” (Go Ask Alice) If a teacher wants a student to read a book, they should get parental permission first. Although parents have the right to keep their children from reading the book, they should educate their child on such topics to inform them on the effects drugs, alcohol, and sex and not shelter them from…

    Goosebumps

    Literary critics against the series claim it should be banned because the books are “too scary for children.” While the books are indeed scary, they serve more of a purpose than entertainment and terrifying children. Convincing a young boy to read a book for pleasure may be one of the most difficult tasks parents and teachers face today. With television, video games, and the countless other forms of distraction available today due to technology, children are not likely to sit down and read a book without being required to for school. However, children seem to be attracted to the novels by R.L. Stine. Goosebumps books caught on quickly after R.L. Stine began releasing them, selling a million copies a month. Sales grew to four million copies a month by the mid 1990’s. Children that feel the books are in fact too scary for them, have the choice to not read them. A principal at Johnsonville Elementary School in Blaine, Minnesota defended the books when several parents tried to have them banned. He said that while his eleven-year-old son read the books furiously and couldn’t seem to get enough of them, his ten-year-old daughter, who knew the books would be too scary for her liking, chose to read something else. Children who read for leisure will have an advantage over those who do not with a higher reading level. Not only does the series catch the interest of young children and encourage reading, but it introduces fear. While this may seem counterproductive to the cause of removing the series from the list of banned books, it is actually a very helpful aspect of the book that prepares kids for the real world. Fear, like almost anything else in the world, is harmful when there is too much of it. Also like other things in the world, facing fear without being prepared can be devastating. Goosebumps introduces fear in a safe way that weans kids onto it. Most situations presented throughout Goosebumps books are supernatural events that could never actually…
