4 Morals of Whoville

Like all good children's authors, Dr. Sues was able to spin a magical world where kids and adults could get lost in the fantasy, experience a sense of excitement and ultimately - learn a lesson. This commentary, whether real or imagined, is on the lessons that I have learned from the immortal Dr. Sues tale of Horton Hears a Who, and how they can help us get out of the hole that we are in as a nation. I'm not referring to the remake of the tale starring Jim Carrey and Steve Carell but the original cartoon made in 1970 which can be seen here.

I am sure most of you are familiar with the story of a civilization located on a tiny dust speck that happens to drift by an elephant taking a bath. Because of the elephant's large ears, he hears a tiny "help" coming from the dust speck as it continues by him. A friendship ensues between Horton (who is the only one that can hear the Whos) and Dr. Whovey (the only Who who believes that there is someone beyond his world with whom he can converse with). The story continues with the animals in Horton's world attacking him because they don't believe that the Whos exist and ultimately trying to boil the dust speck to prove their point.

On the surface, there are a few lessons or morals that are obviously made throughout the story highlighted by Horton repeating "A person is a person, no matter how small", and by the world being saved by little Jo Jo's yelp. While worth mentioning, these are not part of the 4 morals of Whoville that I want to touch on. For this commentary, it is important to note that I will be comparing the Whos in Whoville with the citizens of this great nation and the animals in Horton's world with the government.
