>>24945310I hate Dr. Seuss. Rhyming a word with a nonsense word you made up expressly for the purpose is not good writing. Just another ugly dumbed-down shadow over my once-great nation, hardly better than the Mouse. We could have done so much better.
How the Grinch Stole Christmas is a great example of what Northrop Frye a called "Spring Cycle" story. The story begins with The Grinch alone and angry on top of his snowcapped mountain, and it ends with him in a warm home in Who-ville. The loneliness and anger The Grinch experienced at the beginning of the book (Winter) is contrasted by the community and happiness he experiences at the end of the book (Summer).
>>24946201>Rhyming a word with a nonsense word you made up.All words are made up. Some were just made up more recently than others.
>>24945310Wow you better take it easy the rest of the day buddy!
>>24946211It's still winter by the end of the book
>>24946431Not in his heart.
>>24946201Can you name any examples of these supposed "nonsense" words? (You can't.)
>>24945812ts would make me so gassy! would be shooting out green grinch wet farts like a mfer
>>24947523The publisher gave Seuss a list of 200 words he was allowed to use and he ended up writing multiple books using only them. That anon couldn't write something as good as The Cat in the Hat without such limitations.
>>24946201Dr. Seuss books are genuinely lightyears better than most other children’s books, and this is obvious as a father reading hundreds of different children’s books to my kid.
I utterly loathe how The Grinch has become a part of Christmas mythology. Stuff like yard decor and Grinch photo shoots is like seeing Facebook minions posting IRL.
