In February of 2015, a group called Random House Children’s books announced its plans to publish a brand new Dr. Seuss book called “What Pet Should I Get?”.

    The Butter Battle Book was a book made by Doctor Seuss January 12 1984. The book was about two different people.Those who ate bread butter side up and others butter side down.

Many don’t notice unless you look inside of the book deeper than just the words.…

    How can two best friends simultaneously be enemies? John Boyne answers this question in The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. He writes a tale about a Nazi commandant’s son who befriends another boy. They soon become best friends. Everyday Bruno the commandant’s son, visits Shmuel, a concentration camp inmate. Since Bruno’s father works for Hitler and Shmuel and his family are trapped by Hitler, this makes things difficult on the boys. Instead of being able to play with each other, like Bruno wants, they are separated by a fence. Bruno and Shmuel have these secret meetings every day and Bruno’s mother is also having secret meetings. However, her meetings are with the young lieutenant who works for Hitler.

When Bruno finally crosses, a herd of Nazi army officials rush a group of Jews and Bruno into an air tight room. He is only nine-years-old so he is clueless about the…

    Dr. Seuss 's contributions stemmed beyond the creation of colorful words to beneficiating the illiterate. In response to a published article in Life Magazine in May of 1954 concerning the illiteracy among school children, Dr. Seuss created a book using 220 words that were important to a young child 's vocabulary. "The Cat in the Hat" went on to instant success and its beloved character is now the trademark of all Dr. Seuss 's books (Bedno, 2002). However, Seuss 's trademark fuzzy animals and weird shapes began earlier when the Yuzz-a-ma-Tuzz animal was created for "On Beyond Zebra," (Northern State University, 2002). Unsigned cartoons by Seuss would never be mistaken as his drawings were always filled with his trademark contraptions and creatures (Springfield Library et. al., 2002).…

    Two books that I have read this year are Of Mice and Men and Fahrenheit 451. These two books have characters that emerge out of a state of emergency. There were many reasons that triggered these characters actions, but the main one was that they both lived in a world in which the government censored their knowledge. While Guy Montag and V both emerge in similar ways, they both have their different roles in their world that lead them to their emergence. Montag is caused by first being a part of the government and then realizing that he is the one that is censoring the world. V is a victim of the government all his life, and he can not take it any longer, he must take a stand.…
