As usual this was something that Dr. Seuss never had trouble with. The Cat in the Hat was published with 48 different words. Within those 48 words, more than just the cat coming to a house to entertain the kids way conveyed (Dr. Seuss Biography).

    “The very controversy caused by Roald Dahl's works for early adolescents has drawn millions of teens to his books and, subsequently, encouraged them to enjoy reading. These young people found in Roald Dahl something that they could not find anywhere else: an author with a view of society that was essentially identical to their own--distrustful of authority figures and firm in the belief that good will triumph. Concerning Dahl's popularity, the librarian of one middle school made this comment during the spring of 1997: "Roald Dahl's books are always on our reorder list, for copies of his books circulate so much they are worn in no time! The titles are always checked out and usually on reserve!" (Crawford). Roald Dahl's view of society, his contempt…

    Throughout the story, David Sedaris, socially compares himself to the popular kids. This is evident by the way Sedaris talks about the popular kids. His idealization of the popular crowd is so profound that when he overhears the other kids at the Labor Day celebration he did not realize that there are other popular groups out there. His social comparison is that of an upward social comparison. An upward social comparison occurs when a person compares his or her social worth to people who they think are better than them. This is evident because Sedaris believes that the popular kids somehow are better off than he is. Sedaris believes that this is something unique to his environment. Moreover, Sedaris’ constant comparison is so extreme that he studies them like a subject in school. While studying the popular kids he has evaluated his worth to be far less than that of the popular kids.
