    One of the rudest person I've ever known was the Grinch from How the Grinch Stole Christmas. The reason why I think he is rude is because he actually threw a christmas tree at someone and he wrapped a little girl in gift wrap and then left her there like a christmas present. He also stole everyone's presents. At the end if the movie the Grinch had a change of heart and gave all the presents back. That is why I think he is the rudest person.…

    Excellent job on your analysis, there were a lot of interesting points made. However, I believe an archetypal lens best suits this poem because it factors in the ending, characters, and themes. At the end of the poem, the Grinch relinquishes all the stolen goods because he is touched by the spirit of Christmas. Within a Marxist context, the Grinch was stealing in order to abolish the class structure, and to sustain himself.…

The fury he has towards the holidays and The Whos’ can be displayed in his behavior in the film and on the original story. When The Grinch proceeds to take the Whos’…

    The Grinch shows how people can change over time in "How the Grinch Stole Christmas". The Narrator states, "And what happened then, Well... In Who-Ville they say that the Grinch's heart grew 3 sizes that day" (Seuss) This shows that the Grinch physically changed through the story and was able to give back the Christmas presents he stole back to all the people from Who-Ville. The narrator states, "The Grinch carved the roast beast" (Seuss) This shows that the Grinch became from going to ruining Christmas for others, to cutting food that describes the Christmas year for people from Who-Ville. Not only has he stopped hating Christmas, but he's…

    Certainly, many believe the Grinch’s heart is identical to mine, and when it comes to Christmas, we share uniform emotions. However, the Grinch and I have unalike reasons for despising the season. As told in “How the Grinch Stole Christmas”, no one truly knows why the Grinch hates the entire Christmas season, but my friends know my reasons for hating the season. Sometimes it’s the stress of gifting, the unbearable runny noses, or occasionally the useless gifts I try my hardest to be thankful for. I’m an exceedingly different individual compared to my friends and family, but I am fond of my unique personality.…

    The Grinch

    Who can hate Christmas you might ask? As evil and jealousy cross the mind of a mysterious Who, the Grinch has an awful, yet brilliant idea to steal the beloved holiday we know as Christmas. The award-winning movie and book, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, has been a classical Christmas time movie since the 1960’s. Written by the author that many kids are familiar with, the famous Dr. Seuss is the mastermind behind this miraculous story. As Ron Howard brings Dr. Seuss’s masterpiece to life by directing each and every scene, the world of Who-Ville is created into a motion picture film. Don Peterman uses his skills as a professional cinematographer to build the setting of the story into a beautiful, winter wonderland. Jim Carrey plays the voice of a green haired Who, whom hates anything and everything about world of Who-Ville, including Christmas. "No one quite knows the reason. It could be perhaps that his shoes were too tight. It could be his head wasn't screwed on just right. But I think that the most likely reason of all may have been that his heart was two sizes too small." The Grinch lies at the peak of Mount Crumpit, which looks over the cheerful town of Who-ville, filled with the many caring citizens who are eager for Old Saint Nick to arrive soon. Baffled by the thought of someone hating Christmas, Taylor Momsen plays the role of a curious young girl, Cindy Lou Who, that wants to get to know the humble heart of the Grinch for herself. As she begins to talk to the cold hearted Grinch, he gets the repulsive idea to steal Christmas this year. Dressed up in a raggedy Santa costume, the Grinch sneaks into every home in Who-ville, stealing all their Christmas decorations, the carefully wrapped presents, all the delicious Christmas dinner food, and anything he wishes to take back up the mountain in his proto type sled. Christmas morning soon approaches the town of Who-ville, but the thing is, the Who’s do not mourn about…
