Summary Of Horton Hears A Who
I chose the Dr. Suess book Horton Hears a Who because it has always been my favorite book of his and has a powerful meaning behind it. When I think of this book I am reminded of wonderful memories that I shared with my Grandpa growing up. The Dr. Suess book Horton Hears a Who is the story of an Elephant who encounters what might be a whole other world. Although he does not know for sure, Horton shows tremendous faith and care in the small speck of dust and goes above and beyond to help what he thinks is a planet of creatures in a great deal of trouble. Horton is faced with people full of doubt but he never forgets his purpose or loses his faith in these tiny friends of his. The moral of this story is to help whoever is in need. This lesson

    We learn from this story that it’s okay to be open. It’s important to have friends because it’s always good to have someone to talk to, help, trust, and play with. This story teaches us how we can be nice to others and to go and make friends, also it teaches us not to leave people out. Like Squeaky I sometimes get nervous trying to talk to someone I’ve never met. However I learned to go up to people and be polite and not to be shy around others. It is important in life to learn about this, and that if you live your life not talking to people and not being friendly, you won’t have any fun. Don’t do what Squeaky did, be open and kind, and don’t build a wall and keep others…

    On the surface, Horton Hears a Who seems to be a simple children’s story, similar to others written by Dr. Seuss. Before taking this class, I had seen the movie once before. Once I had heard that we would be watching it to compare to scripture, I couldn’t help but laugh. I could not see any biblical parallels in the movie on the surface, however after putting some more thought into it and watching the film in class with the prompt in mind, I saw a new story line I had never considered before. Throughout the film, many connections can be seen with the book of Romans in the New Testament.…

He uses this strategy to explain to the readers how he got inspired by one of his classmates makes a big difference. “One of my co-workers called her over, gently sat her down and typed the letter.It was a simple act.”(pg.163,para.16).Another strategy he uses in his story is all caps.

    Loaded with appealing rhymes and wacky pictures, Dr. Seuss’ books are captivating to ages of young and old. Although the multitude doesn’t see it, messages with deep meaning and the author’s thoughts are undetected throughout the stories, hidden to those who don’t observe carefully. Seuss illustrates these attributes in the stories Yertle the Turtle and Horton Hears a Who. In Yertle the Turtle, a character that has the least attention of stood up for others by doing one simple action. While in Horton Hears a Who, the main character does everything they can to protect a race that no one actually knows about, even risking his life and reputation. Although many of these stories can be compelling, Dr. Seuss is trying to communicate a message to the audience about rebelling for change in the near future, especially if the rebellion is for the better half of the situation that they are currently in.…

    Authors often have a very good reason for choosing a particular personality for their story’s narrator. Scout was a vital character in the novel, “To Kill a Mockingbird.” Her impartial outlook on life and people was highly voluntary in order to produce the theme and message that Harper Lee was sending to her readers. Many of the events in the story would not have happened or would have occurred very differently if the novel was told through the eyes of an adult narrator. Even though Scout’s narration is often faulty or inaccurate, her innocence often allows readers to see the events and characters in the novel more clearly.…

    It was after the pageant, which almost the whole town went to, when I noticed the Finch kids walking on the street; I was drunk and had my switch knife in my pocket. I didn’t know what I was thinking, but I followed them down the street heading to their house after they had declined an offer for a ride, it was incredibly dark and I could barely see anything except the outlines of two children. I then got out of my thoughts and heard them talking about the girl’s shoes, they were going to start heading my way, but my luck prevented that, when they saw the auditorium lights go off. We continued to walk down the street after the girl was convinced she could get her shoes the next day.…

    The socio-demographic elements such as age, gender, education, income, size of household and invulnerability of oneself are distinguished as important aspects influencing people’s risk perception (Klontz et al., 1995; Hibbert et al., 2004; Miles et al., 2004). Support by the view of Flynn et al. (1994) that individual risk perception is manipulated by socio-demographic characteristics, voting behaviour and level of understanding. Furthermore, Dosman et al. (2001) analyze the relationship between food safety and risk perception in a multivariate way and find that the risk perception related to bacteria; additives and pesticides in food is predicted by variables such as income, gender, age, number of children and voting preference.…
