Sneetches Allegory!

The Sneetches by Dr. Seuss represents allegory. Allegory is a symbolical meaning such as from characters, objects, settings or events. The sneetches all want to look alike and keep getting stars put on and taken off over and over to look the same. The allegory behind this is about people trying to fit in. No matter what you look like weather you're black, white, tall, short, skinny, fat, boy, girl or of any kind, we are all the same. The sneetches use all their money to get a star on and then take it back off over and over. Until, they learn that the star doesn't make them different and they are all the same. McMonkey McBean was exploding theyre fear and prejudice and game. He was just like a carney person. Taking peoples money by ripping them off. But in the end he tought them a lesson.
Mr. Spence is like McMonkey McBean, and all the students are all like the Sneetches. But Mr. Spence wishes he could walk away with tons of cash after teaching us a lesson. He would not like rob us, and have some how that cash would magically appear.
