SHAKESPEARE VS. DR. SEUSS
Hey, since all the dweebs have the same english class I feel it appropriate to post this great conflict that has been going on in my head. SHAKESPEARE VS. DR. SEUSS. What's the big difference? Why does Shakespeare have millions of festivals for him and Dr. Suess is just stuck with children books, especially when back in Shakespeares time all of the roles (even the woman parts) were played by men. The only conclusion that I could think of as Mr. Williams yammered on in front of the class was that they couldn't get good enough actors to play Red Fish, Blue Fish.

Few people see Dr Suess as anything more than a children's author, but in many of his books, he sends clear messages of culture and diversity. In fact, the one book everyone can recite word-for-word, The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, is a prime example of that. He wrote it half about himself (he lived on a mountain overlooking a small-ish city, with a winding drive way and an extreme case of resentment for the residents below him) and half about the spirit of Christmas. Of course we all dwell on the Christmas part of it...

Makizzle - you should write and produce a play/movie version of Red Fish, Blue Fish. Open our eyes to Dr. Suess!
while were on the subject of Shakespeare vs. Dr. Seuss, wouldn't it be frickin awsome if Shakespeare's rotting corpse came to life and him and Dr. Seuss had some sorta epic battle to the death?...
ReplyDeletebut then again Shakespeare would already be dead sooo, never mind.
Peace out.
