Dr.Seuss's The Butter Battle Book is one of the best books he has written. His funny books and crazy characters always amuse his readers. His books give a greater meaning, you must actually read in depth to find that meaning. The Butter Battle Book is a book about two groups, the Yooks and the Zooks fighting for which side of the bread butter should be spread. Dr.Seuss is the best book writer because he uses easy to understand words, there's an exceptional use of rhyming, imagery, and a use of setting
The three connections between the Butter Battle Book to the Cold War are quite apparent. There is a wall separating different people, there is a different way of life, and there is a deterrent. The book by Theodor Guisel, also known as Dr. Suess, is almost a mirror image of the situation during the Cold War. The first connection between the Butter Battle Book and the Cold War, is a wall separating two different peoples. During the Cold War, the Soviet side of Berlin, or East Berlin, built
You know what they say nothing last forever. Or should I say nothing will ever stay the same. As with anything else in this world, language is susceptible to change. Every so often, the use of certain words happens to change. An example of this could be the word ratchet, originally used in reference to a mechanical tool. In modern times the word ratchet is a slang word that is meant to describe an unsophisticated individual. Furthermore, not only does the usage of words change definitions and spellings
mosquitoes but many people cannot afford them (IRIN and Katie Davis “Kisses From Katie” p. 17). There is also starvation and jiggers that get inside peoples skin, which is called scabies. So many people die from starvation each day because they don’t get enough malnutrition and enough money to buy food. Jiggers are everywhere in Uganda and are very hard to get rid of. Jiggers are these little bugs that get under the skin, lay eggs, live there, and eat on the skin (Katie Davis “Kisses From Katie” p
butter-side up. They both live on each others side of the wall. The setting in this book could basically be anywhere. There is an endless amount of weapons these two cultures used starting off with the Snick-berry switch, Slingshot, Triple-sling jigger, Jigger-rock snatcher, Kickapoo kid with Poo doo powder, Eight-nozzled Elephant-tooted boom blitz, Utter Sputter, and Bisty Big-Boy Boomeroo. The conflict is that the Zooks thought the way the Yooks put their butter-side up was wrong and vise versa. The
The Cold War was an important event in United States history which occurred during the years of 1947-1991. During this time frame the world was at the greatest risk for the development of a third world war. The Cold war was not an actual war with contact fighting of both sides, but a conflict between western democratic nations and eastern communist nations which was more fear tactics and rivalry. The Cold War is a sensitive topic which should be refrained and be avoided from being discussed with
destruction. The United States and the Soviet Union competed in a "tit-to-tat" manner to see who could generate the better weapon. Similarly the Yooks creation of the Snick-Berry Switch, Triple-Sling Jigger, Kick-a-Poo Kid, and Utterly Sputter, is outmatched with the Zooks creation of the Sling Shot, Jigger-Rock Snatchem, Eight-Nozzeled, Elephant-Toted Boom Blitz, and Blue Gooer (Seuss 10-30). Perhaps the use of such names in Seuss 's behalf was to downplay the Cold War as a "childish" game, that could

A good storyteller never tells the ending of a story without exposition or a climax. A good comedian never tells the punchline of the joke without the setup. Therefore, one can expect Rodgers and Hammerstein, two extraordinary partners, playwrights, and composers, would not simply state their opinions outright in their musicals, but instead impress their thoughts in little ways in a variety of their musicals. During this unsettling time of the American 1940s and 50s, people were confused. Life changing
I started to think about this wannabe “fly” my sister claims she was going to put together. She was half my size! Also, why does he want to go out with me? Girls at school call me names, so why is interested? I instantly became sick, I got the jiggers and my stomach felt like the bottomless pit. I pulled myself together, shower because I was eager to see this outfit. When I emerged from the hot and steamy bathroom, my sister was standing at the door with cutest acid-washed skirt, a white crop
Warmers were popular in Europe during the mid 18th and early 19th centuries. Commonly known as a food warmer or veilleuse, they served as both a nightlight and container to heat food. Warmers typically stood between nine to twelve inches tall, but widths varied based on overall design. Throughout their existence, warmers evolved to accommodate regional differences and changes in use. Depending on the region, warmers included either a covered bowl or separate liner. Around the 19th century, some
According to Merriam-Webster`s Collegiate Dictionary, the American dream is “an American social ideal that stresses egalitarianism and especially, material prosperity; also: the prosperity or life that is realisation of this ideal.” It is well in line to view the American dream as a set of rules for achieving success. This is even more stressed when President Bill Clinton says that "if you work hard and play by the rules you should be given a chance to go as far as your God-given ability will take

We’re just good for nothing, they all figure. A boyish, grown-up, shiftless jigger. Now we can’t hardly stand for that…” In this song, Mayfield is addressing the poor race relations in the United States and he is implying that African Americans need to take a stand or else things will not change. This song was released in the 1970s
Hammerstein & Lerner: Wordsmiths of All Time For many years, American musical theatre was defined as being mere entertainment for the people. It ranged from operetta, burlesque, vaudeville, and more. If there is one towering figure in the history of American Musical Theater, that person is Oscar Hammerstein II. He was a lyricist-librettist, as well as a distinguished poet and director. For over forty years, as the theatre’s forms of entertainment shifted, he helped merge everything into the art form
This passage of the temptation of Jesus is by far one of the most sacred of stories told in the gospels. The reason being, is because the story could not have come from anyone else, but Jesus. Jesus was the only present at this moment of temptation, so it must have at some time been passed down to his disciples (Barclay). In this particular telling of the story, it is written by Luke. Luke was a Gentile, which is significant because all of the other New Testament writers were Jews. According to
