“I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy
is a necessary ingredient in living, It's a way of
looking at life through the wrong end of a
telescope. Which is what I do, And that enables you
to laugh at life's realities.”

TEChNOLOGY
Attribute Changing:

★ As a young boy, Ted loved reading
books. However, his favorite is called, ‘The
Hole’ , a story about how a bullet pierces
everything until it hits a cake so hard it
stops.

In his later years, he did his own version of
the Hole called ‘And To Think I Saw It On
Mulberry Street.’ He changed some aspects
of the story and made it his own.

Originality:
At that time, people would usually protest their issues directly to the
public. But Dr. SEUss cleverly used his creative skills in drawing and
writing to come up with seemingly unrelated stories that illustrates
his strong political and social Views.

The Sneetches and Other
Stories (1961) written around
the birth of the American
Civil Rights Movement, this
tale of identity politics
concerns a huckster who
exploits people who want to
feel superior to others based
on their ethnicity.
