When I was in Pre K my first memory of Dr. Seuss is when my teacher read the whole class Cat in the Hat. When I was in first grade we did a Dr. Seuss, and I dressed up as the cat and the hat. Dr. Seuss was born on March 2, 1904, he attended Dartmouth college and University of Oxford. He likes to use nonsense in his writing because it says it opens up the mind and brain cells Dr. Seuss wrote the book Sneetches in 1961.

The setting could basically be anywhere with a Mulberry Street. The conflict is that Marco father wants him to tell him what he saw and he finds nothing extraordinary. All he finds is a horse and a wagon so makes up all this cool stuff that around the horse and that wagon like the horse turns into a elephant and the wagon turns into a cart holding a band, then he says the mayor behind him, and then he said all of this is going to crash so he said that police were there to help guide them. At the end of all this is father says stop joking around actually open your eyelids then maybe you’ll see things. There was no real resolution at the end of this story. What this story is really about is that adults keep shutting down kids they are using their imagination when they make things up or when they color a tree pink they shut them down. Dr. Seuss likes using his imagination cause he is an adult and nobody really shuts him down because is books are so
