They influenced me to read and write in school. They also influenced me to read books with more words and less pictures. Dr. Seuss books also influenced me because they were well-written and they always had a lesson.

Dr. Seuss is an important figure in the lives of children everywhere. His stories are children’s classics that are fun to read and also tackle some real life issues. Dr. Seuss’s political views are very apparent in his some of his books like The Butter Battle Book, which discusses the issues of the Cold War.
Theodor Seuss was born in Springfield, Mass. on March 2, 1904 and died on September 24, 1991. He graduated from Dartmouth College. Dr. Seuss was a children's author who target young readers. His first book was "And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street" and was followed by many other famous stories such as, "How The Grinch Stole Christmas" and to one of his most famous books "The Cat in The Hat". Dr. Seuss is a well know author world-wide.
Dr. Seuss, also known as Theodore Seuss, has written many poems as well as short stories, and is considered one of the greatest children’s author in history. His silly stories are able to excite children in ways that make them want read. His Wife says,” Ted doesn’t sit down to write for children. He writes to amuse himself;” Little do children know that often, in his stories, there is a lot of political undertone, a few examples include The Lorax, Yertle the Turtle, The Sneethces, and The Butter Battle Book. If you were to really critique some of his books or poems, you might see that some of his themes wouldn’t seem to pertain to children. But what he’s doing, is hoping that they will understand the main idea of the story enough that it challenges them to stand against the crowd of judgment and evil. Take notice of the issues around them, and make a change. He feels that they deserve to know about the issues, just as much as adults do. He is showing them early on, telling them that they do not need adults to make a difference.
Not only did Seuss have an effect on politics and propaganda, but he had a huge impact on social and everyday life.
They said he had perseverance because he was Fast in succeeding with in his first book he made he was known around the world. I think he was inspired by reading so much when he was younger he also liked to read comic strips. The reason Dr.Seuss changed his name to Doctor Seuss was because his dad wanted him to be a doctor when he grew up. He was caring because he loved all his fans he also loved his family very much and was sad when his sister died because of pneumonia ever since he has cared for everyone and hoped each kid or person with a disease makes it out alive and healthy.

Throughout Dr. Seuss’s life, he has written dozens of books with over one hundred million copies sold, and still being produced to this day. Theodor Seuss Geisel is a well-known author that had many inspirations for his works that are still read by millions today, such as Yertle the Turtle, The Sneeches, How the Grinch Stole Christmas. His inevitable fame and fortune came with a lot of pressure; pressure of his readers as well as pressure of his producers.
Theodor Geisel was able to enlist the help of the nation through his war efforts as well as maintain his beliefs in a time of high distress in our nation. As a result, Dr. Seuss came out of WWII as a famous writer who held no bounds when it came to his work and therefore was able to continue to produce and create amazing stories with deep meaning, for his target audience of children. This was done so successfully, that Seuss is still known today for several of his works, adapted into movies but also still read to millions upon millions of children each and every night.
Fifty. Dr. Seuss’s Cat and the Hat had only 225 different words in it. Bennett Cerf, his editor, made a bet that he could not write a book with less words. They settled on 50 words. This isn’t the only weird fact about a Dr. Seuss book. Yertle the Turtle is about Hitler. Dr. Seuss created the word, “nerd” for his book If I Ran the Zoo. Dr. Seuss almost didn’t get published. He took his first book, To Think I Saw It All on Mulberry Street, to many publishing companies who all rejected it because they thought it was too silly for children. The success of his reading books killed off the famous Dick and Jane books, which were used to teach children to read before Cat in the Hat.
Dr. Seuss I took an unconventional approach in the topic I chose for my reading assignment – whereas most groups selected single novels, my partner and I opted to read a collection of short stories by none other than the notorious Dr. Seuss. Were I writing this essay on a “normal” book, I would be able to pose a question about the book itself and answer it in an ordinary sort of way. However, given the subject matter I have chosen, an essay on an individual book, though possible, would be a very tricky thing to do. It would be wiser, and probably easier, to respond to the man himself. My decision to respond to the man himself makes many more choices – what facet of Dr. Seuss shall I ask myself questions about? I think perhaps I first need to give some brief biographical information on the man to understand the background he’s coming from. In 1904, Theodore Seuss Geisel was born in Massachusetts, USA. I have not been able to find too much documentation about his childhood, but he certainly did not come from a terribly poor or terribly unsuccessful family… in fact, his family had owned a local brewery in their home town of Springfield for several years. Ever since his childhood, Geisel had dabbled in the fields we all know and love him for today… for instance, during bible recitals, he read the verses to a rhythm and often in rhyme. In High School he wrote many short essays and drew cartoons for the school paper, and even then he had adopted a pseudonym for himself – “Pete the Pessimist”. Upon graduation, Geisel began studying literature at Oxford university, as his original intent was to become an educator… even then, he punctuated his time at Oxford with his job editing and contributing to the “Jack-O-Lantern”, ...
Born with a single tooth, mother used to say I came out smiling, and I guess I never stopped. Smiles, books, and sun were among the things that composed my childhood, the smiles usually resulting from the books and sun. This situation of strictly happy memories of a loving and bookish family, strong Christian education, and a healthy community helped shape me to be the person I am today.
This quote from Dr. Seuss really inspired me. It said, “The more that you read, the more things you know, the more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.”This high school will help me reach my future goals, my goals are to become a heart surgeon they perform on the heart, lungs, blood vessels, and other organs. I look forward to taking advanced placement classes in chemistry and Calculus AB. The skills that I have to contribute to Benjamin Banneker is my academics I’m a really smart and wise person so I can bring that knowledge to Banneker. I personally, feel like I'm ready for the challenge, I would want to challenge myself not for someone to challenge me. Im saying that I need to become self motivated and become stronger than I was
When my parents read to me, they enjoyed reading Dr. Suess books, which became popular with the publication of The Cat In The Hat. I was only interested in looking at books with color. When the books were colorful they grabbed my attention quickly. I couldn’t wait for my parents to come in my room at night and read to me from The Cat in the Hat. I think that this is one of the popular books that parents should read to their children.
Theodor Seuss Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss, is perhaps one of the most beloved children’s authors of the twentieth century. Although he is most famous as an author of children’s books, Geisel was also a political cartoonist, advertisement designer, and film director (Kaplan). He used the power of imagination to produce unforgettable children’s books and helped solve the problem of illiteracy among America’s children. By using his experiences in life as a foundation for most of his books, Theodor Geisel created a unique writing style that incorporated various elements and techniques, enabling his books to appeal to people of all ages.
My relationship with books and reading has not been the greatest adventure for me thus far. I will not say that all my experience has been terrible but for the most part not that great. I know for me it started when I was little and unfortunately it has carried to my adulthood.
