His writing has deep meaning behind what seems to be a simple story; which not only appeals to a younger audience‚ but to adults as well. “The Lorax” written by Dr. Seuss is one of his most explicitly rhetorical books. The story is set in a dark‚ murky‚ destroyed landscape caused by the Once-ler’s exploitation of the ecosystem‚ which was once supported by the Truffula trees.
