Segregation

 I recently finished  reading the picture book “The Sneetches” by Dr. Suess.  The story is about sneetches which is creature called a Sneetch. Their are a bunch of sneetches but  some sneetches have stars on their bellies and others do not.  The “Star-Bell” Sneetches think that they are better and are worth more than  starless Sneetches.  They really wanted stars on their bellies and so they did  after a businessman named Sylvester McMonkey McBean who has a machine that removes and replaces the stars on the Sneetches bellies.  After McBean leaves with a whole bunch of money, the Sneetches realize that it was not worth all the money they wasted at the end they realized no Sneetch is better than any other Sneetch.

            I think that the stars on the bellies of some Sneetches represents race or some type of physical characteristics .  A line that got me thinking was, “Those stars weren’t so big.  They were really so small.  You might think that such a thing wouldn’t matter at all.”  This made me think of racism because our color shoudnt be a thing people should judge us something that small shouldnt be a problem. 

            I think that message that was shared was we might not all look the same but we are special and in some way were all the same. Another message is that no person should put people in groups that make them feel more or less than themselves. Most of this book was about the segregation of the sneetches.  All in all i think no one should be offended or offended someone else cause of their physical characteristics. 

 This relates to the world because lots of people get offended  for little things that shouldnt even matter like skin color hair shoes clothes and etc.
