Blog post: Green eggs and ham critical thinking #1

I am writing this response on the story green eggs and ham by dr seuss. The meaning of this story is that you shouldn't judge something by looking at its cover. Its about how one of the characters is trying to make the other eat green eggs and ham. But he doesn't want to eat the eggs and ham because they are green and they look nasty. This story is fair because at the end he eats the eggs and ham and realizes  that he should never judge something and that he should try the food before he critisizes it. The author wrote this book to show kids to never judge something by looking at its cover and to actually get to know somebody before judging them.

Blog post critical thinking

Question number 3: How does this text make you think about justice in the world?

The story that I am writing about is the Sneetches by Dr. Suesse. It is about how the star bellied sneetches have more rights and power than the sneetches without stars on their bellies. In the story the star bellied sneetches are the ones playing games and having fun and having parties and the ones without stars are not allowed to join any of these activities and games. I think this connects to the world because its not fair to treat people because of their race and everyone is equal. In the end of the story they realize that they are all the same star or no star and they all become friends and they let the ones with no stars join in the parties, games and activities.
