The Lorax



I currently finished reading "The Lorax " by Dr.Seuss is a book about a greedy business man. He wanted lots of money only for himself . He started to make lots of money on sweater that were using up trees. More and more people started to want the sweater so the greedy business man was in alot of business gaining lots and lots of money. The more business he made the more trees were being used. Until one day he was out of business because there were no more trees he had use them all. The theme of this book was we need to keep our environment safe and to protect it and not put it to waste . 

I think that it is a bad idea to use up all our trees because if we dont have trees we wont have oxygen. Without oxygen we wouldn't be able to live. I think this could be our future we could use up all our trees on paper that we all use every single day in school and pencils so i think we should be grateful and maybe limit the trees we knock down every year. This doesnt only effect us but the animals they want a safe environment just like us so lets change that.

The message in this story is strong because the greedy business man was brained washed by the money that he really didn't know what he was doing to the environment. He basically was destroying the environment but didnt notice. The other message was not to be selfish and only think about yourself but also the consequences. All in all the book thought the readers about consequences and selfishness.
