Sneeches!
In the story The Sneeches by Dr. Seuss, the sneeches represent the different kinds/ethnicities of people or insecure people. The salesman with all the machines represented the leader or dictator that made everything worse, kind of like a Hitler of the story. The sneeches with the stars on their bellies thought they were better than the sneeches with the bare bellies and wouldn’t even talk to them. No matter what the bare bellied sneeches did, they weren’t accepted with the other star sneeches and were still discriminated against. The star sneeches removed their stars because the other bare sneeches got stars on their bellies so they could be treated equal. This went on back and forth through the whole story, but in the end of the story the sneeches realized that they were all equal, and that they shouldn’t hate each other because of their appearance. They realized star or not, they are all the same and not one person is better than the other. The overall message of this story is that we are all equal and no one is better than the other. And that we should all get along and love each other for who we are as individuals.
