Horton Hears A Who!: Yellow Back Book (Dr Seuss - Yellow Back Book)

Product Information

Horton Hears a Who! received praise for the moral message Dr. Seuss exemplifies through Horton the Elephant. A 2002 news article in the Santa Fe Reporter details comedic performer Susan Jayne Weiss saying, "Horton is the ultimate metaphor for believing in yourself, your mission and what you know to be true, against societal prescriptions to the contrary". [13] Ben Witherington of the Asbury Theological Seminary applauds Dr. Seuss for his work in the characterization of Horton as the elephant fights to show the other animals that even the small people are people deserving of respect and love. Additionally, Witherington commended Dr. Seuss for his disdain for cynicism while proving that the imagination can solve life's troubles. [14] Humpf!\" Humpfed a voice! For almost two days you've run wild and insisted On chatting with persons who've never existed. Such carryings-on in our peaccable jungle! We've had quitc enough of your bellowing bungle! And I'm here to state,\" snapped the big kangaroo, That your silly nonsensical game is all through!\" And the young kangaroo in her pouch said, \"Me, too!\" Give an example of something you know but that you can’t justify with your senses. How did you come to know that thing? Use the story as the starting point for learning about sound and volume. How do we measure the loudness of different sounds?

In 1936 on the way to a vacation in Europe, listening to the rhythm of the ship's engines, he came up with And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street, which was then promptly rejected by the first 43 publishers he showed it to. Eventually in 1937 a friend published the book for him, and it went on to at least moderate success.

Horton Hears a Who! by Dr. Seuss: 9780394800783

Geisel began work on Horton Hears a Who! in the fall of 1953. It is his second book to feature Horton the Elephant with the first being Horton Hatches the Egg. The Whos would later reappear in How the Grinch Stole Christmas!. The book's main theme, "a person's a person no matter how small", was Geisel's reaction to his visit to Japan, where the importance of the individual was an exciting new concept. [5] Geisel, who had harbored strong anti-Japan sentiments before and during World War II, changed his views dramatically after the war and used this book as an allegory for the American post-war occupation of the country. [6] His comparison of the Whos and the Japanese was a way for him to express his willingness for companionship. Geisel strived to relay the message that the Japanese should be valued equally, especially in a stressful post-war era. [7] He dedicated the book to a Japanese friend. [8] Plot [ edit ]

The story raises questions about the nature of human knowledge and what is necessary to justify a claim to have knowledge of something. These issues are discussed in the philosophical field of epistemology. Epistemology investigates the theory of knowledge, specifically its origin and nature. We may know something but sometimes find it difficult to explain why; we may know something to be true when others know it to be false. Epistemology engages in trying to help us explain why and how we identify our knowledge. After reading Horton Hatches the Egg I came to an understanding that you need to read the sequel right afterwards which made the whole story better. This book can be a standalone but I believe if you read the first book then you get a huge understanding of who Horton is and why he is loyal and persistent. I cannot say which one is better but I believe when it comes this book Dr. Seuss was more creative and found his flow of creativity. I don't want to spoil it for those that haven't read the book yet, but can I just say how much I LOVE this story! The movie adaption is also brilliant. Among my favorite lines are "I said what I meant and I meant what I said, an elephants faithful 100%" and "A person's a person no matter how small." Now being a huge pro-life person my self, I see this story as totally pro-life. The whole plot is about the Who's really existing; but they're voices being too small to be heard. In the end, it's the one small voice that makes a difference and saves the day. How perfect is that? Horton Hears a Who shows what happens when people unite, and the miracles that can happen when we believe and choose to hear what science would have believe doesn't exist and isn't possible.

In a word: Equality". [11] The Whos try to make themselves heard but the kangaroo denies hearing anything. Finally, the Whos try again, and they are heard!
