Tuesday, 12/21: “Sneetches,” Interview Last Chance, Vladek

INTERVIEWS ARE DUE TOMORROW!

Last Chance for Help is NOW!

 

What makes people treat others differently? Is there a rule we can apply to determine when it is okay to treat others differently and when it is not? Intelligence? Looks? Talents? Morals? Friendliness? The fact that they like you?

“The Sneetches” was intended by Seuss as a satire of discrimination between races and cultures, and was specifically inspired by his opposition to antisemitism.

(Starts @:47.)

What makes people treat others differently?   So a star on your belly isn’t difference enough? What is?

  1. Are the Star- Bellied Sneetches and the Plain-Bellied Sneetches the same or different?  Explain.
  2. After the Plain-Bellied Sneetches go through the machine the first time and come out with stars, the Star-Bellied Sneetches say, “We’re still he best Sneetches and they are the worst.”  What makes the Star-Bellied Sneetches think that there is still something different about the Plain-Bellied Sneetches since they now have stars on their bellies?
