Dr. Seuss
Transcript: “You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go...” -Dr. Seuss, Oh, the Places You'll Go! “I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living.” -― Dr. Seuss “Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.” -Dr. Seuss, Happy Birthday to You! After writing in many magazines, like Life, Vanity Fair, Judge and other magazines, as well as being rejected over 20 times, Vanguard Press publishes Dr. Seuss's first book, called 'And To Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street'. Theodor then went on to write some of the most recognizable books in America and other parts of the world, like The Cat in the hat, Green Eggs and Ham, Oh, the Places You'll Go, Fox in Socks, and How the Grinch Stole Christmas, as well as many others. Where you come from almost always determines where you are going. And in this case, where Theodor Seuss Geisel came from inspired millions of people around the world. The talented and creative children's book author was born March 2, 1904 in Springfield, Massachusetts. Throughout his childhood, his mother, Henrietta Seuss, would read Ted (he was known as Ted to his family and friends) rhymes before he went to bed, before school, and pretty much anywhere in-between. Having the art of rhythm and rhyme around at a young age sculpted Ted's future, and quite possibly a lot of our child hood's. Theodor always liked to draw. In 1925, Seuss contributed to Dartmouth's (where he attended college) "Jack-O-Lantern" humor magazine, where he signed his drawing as "Seuss". Later in 1926, Seuss attended Oxford where he met what would later become his first wife, Helen Palmer. After seeing his art, she urged him to drop out of Oxford and become an artist. So, he did just that. The next year, Helen and Ted moved to New York to start a new career as a artist. Struggles and Success Where To Start Dr. Seuss's Story If you've ever read a book by Dr. Seuss, you know that he isn't a typical, classic author. Seuss wrote children's books with unusual words and weird phrases. Not many people were used to this strange way of writing at the time, but people liked it. It was something new and different, and that's what people liked about Dr. Seuss. Full of imaginary lands and creatures, with talking elephants and the Who's of Whoo Vill, Dr. Seuss impacted alot of our lives. I still remember reading those stories as a kid, and I would always giggle at the crazy-ness of his stories. Dr. Seuss is one of the best known authors in the world, and it is shown through his story that you can achieve anything by doing what you love.
