The Lorax

One of my favorite children's books is Dr. Suess' The Lorax. It gives a lot of insight on how the choices you make affect your outcome. 

Here is a little insight on the book, just in case you haven't read it yet. The Lorax is a "shortish. And oldish. And brownish. And mossy. And he spoke with a voice that was sharpish and bossy." And he speaks for the trees. He is very possessive of his truffula trees.

Throughout the book the Onceler (the man who is chopping down all the trees to make thneeds, at which he sells) doesn't realize what harm chopping down all the trees is causing, until it is too late. The Lorax tries to warn him, but he completely ignores him. The Onceler is completely filled with regret once all the trees are chopped down.

 The most powerful line in the whole entire book is, "UNLESS someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not."

Poetry

Rose Glory

Running through the field.

Roses here and there, everywhere!

Rose glory all around.

Poetic Purple

Poetry is color, 

color written down on paper, 

color that can be heard.

Fuchsia Flock

Flocks trotting away, 

frightened they run far away.

Flamingos so scared!

Summer Nights

               Long dayS coming to an end.

                   The hot sUn blistering my skin.

Traveling to and froM again and again.    

 Drinking freshly squeezed leMonade during hot nights.       

Might want to takE a nice swim.       

                          Long waRm nights spent at the bay.

      Ocean side, playiNg in the breezy wind.

Hearing waves crash agaInst the shore.                   

Time best spent with Good friends.               

            Looking for sea sHells when the tide is low.

Crawling into my sheeTs in the early morning. 

                    SometimeS I never want it to end.
