    My memory of Dr. Seuss is reading funny books like the “Cat in the hat” and Green eggs and Hams. I had no idea that Dr. Seuss took on a much serious role by shining light on the issues in our country. His cartoons not only had a hidden message but the portrait could tell the story alone. “What This Country Needs Is a Good Mental Insectide” written by D.r Seuss. Shows a picture of citizens following each other in a single file line and they all seemed to be all dressed alike.…

    After almost one-hundred and eighty days, the 2015-2016 school year is approaching an end. So far, I have concluded that middle school is basically like building a house. Before middle school started, in fifth grade, the house only had the boards and the main skeleton of the whole structure. All of the basics are learned in elementary school: learning how to read, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction, fractions, the founding of America,, etcetera, but by the time students reach sixth grade, new knowledge builds onto what is already known. Letters are added into the familiar math equations; stories are written with all of the reading and grammar knowledge; unfamiliar people, wars, and awakenings add onto the history of America.…

    Seuss tries to make it evident that it is not okay to abandon your children and leave them alone but it also is entirely different to watch them sit and do nothing. He makes you aware of the fact that, even though it’s raining outside the children are simply going to, “sit sit sit sit”. I cannot emphasis how much this is like today’s society when all children do is sit on electronics and not interact with the real world and outside. They are not reading or doing something that is going to benefit them in the long run. When reading Seuss I think one of his best characteristics is his ability to make you aware of a social or political problem but yet in a way that is entertaining.…

    Reading was something I was practically raised on as a child. My dad made sure that my younger sister and I were read to every single night before he tucked us in, passing down a tradition that he believed had aided in shaping his own childhood. I distinctly remember my simple mind roaming along in the lands of Narnia and Middle Earth as such books instilled in me a restless sense of adventure and a longing to learn. This longing drove me to read more and more on my own, all the while my father continued to read to me at a higher and more complex level, that at the time seemed unattainable. Yet books to me were journies completely separate from my own world and I could never seem to envision them as anything more than a source of entertainment.…

    Two books have been inspirational pavers in how I see the world and how I want to improve it. These books are very different in the content that they portray but similar in their themes of perception. The first book that has developed me as a person is “The Great Gatsby.” A second book is “To Kill A Mockingbird.” Without these books the evolvement of my understandings would be weaker than they are now.…
