Things you can do

I think all the Seuss books that are stubs need to be expanded. Does any one have any interesting information on these books? I think I'll write a plot summarty + spoiler warning. Vampypoo 20:01, 14 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Waz pop and child a bear or wut?

In my research I intend to investigate the anti-Japanese sentiment triggered by the attack on Pearl Harbor, and how it was reflected through the entertainment and media of the time, such as film, animation, advertisements, and other forms of propaganda. One notable result of the anti-Japanese sentiment sparked by the attack was the internment camps. These too had a major effect on our culture at the time and I plan to investigate what these effects were in schools, businesses, and other relationships. Apart from the rise in anti-Japanese sentiment, there were other changes in the mindset of many Americans following the attack. One of these was the loss of a feeling of definite security. I will investigate how this change affected American identity, economy, media, and society. I plan to get the majority of my research via the internet, and use a considerable amount of primary sources, particularly works of art and entertainment from the time period. I find that primary sources are more valuable due to their relevance and connection to that event and time, as well as being plentiful.


Summary of Evidence

Various documents, as well was written and non written works serve as valuable sources of information relating to the cultural effects of Pearl Harbor. Numerous newspaper articles, specifically from 40s era San Francisco news, effectively reflects the opinions and beliefs of the public at the time regarding pearl Harbor and Japanese American citizens. One secondary source I intend to use which provides useful information relating to the American propaganda created as a result of Pearl Harbor is "A Critical Comparison Between Japanese and American Propaganda during World War II" by Anthony V Navarro. Another efficient secondary source is Oracle Education Foundation's articles on the life of Japanese Americans during that time period. Some non written sources from the time period include war propaganda posters and cartoons. During the war many such things were made, almost always presenting the Japanese in dehumanized and stereotypical caricatures. Many of these reflect American beliefs remarkably effectively. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.90.253.52 (talk) 11:29, 3 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Simpsons

The Simpsons episode S06E21 has this book as banned in some school (05:18). Why? Alone Coder (talk) 13:02, 7 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Grammar

Something ought to be said about the atrocious grammar in the book. This is by far the worst Dr. Seuss book. I've seen excellent adult readers stumble over the words -- it truly isn't the English language. 208.118.18.229 (talk) 05:01, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
