The Lorax

The lorax is a book about how we need to protect our environment because we will end up with no trees and we will lose oxygen. The story was about how all the trees were destroyed by a man that was greedy and wanted money. But he wasted all the trees on some type of sweater that was making a lot of money. But the problem was that he wasted all of the trees and they had no more trees left. What I want to know is that why did'nt the greedy man listen.

There was a big message in this book because this book was all about how we need to protect our envirnment and our trees. The question that I have with the message is why would a person even waste all the trees and not hear the warning of the lorax? the lorax was a very important chacter to the message because he was the one that was trying to teach the man, the message. That greedy man was also another message because he was blinded by being greedy that he did not see that what he was doing was destroying the earth and all the animals on it. It was also hurting the lorax that all of his friends had to go because all the trees were gone and eventually he had to leave too.

The protagonist of the story is the boy that asked the greedy man what happened to all the trees and where is the lorax? The young boy at the end got a seed that would be able to grow another tree. He knew that the only person that could make the trees live on was a young child. But one thing that I have to say about that is that the man was smart because if you give it a adult they will just plant it and cut it down. But if a child had it he can care for the trees.

My opinion about this book is that it is perfect for children. The reason for that is that you can teach young kids about the environment. So they are able to be the generation that protects the earth. We need to protect our earth or we will end up like the Lorax.

So I conclude that the Lorax is a very important book. We need books like tha so we can teach the next generation about reduce, reuse and recycle. The next generation needs to know.
