The Lorax was written in 1972; Have the environmental issues in the story changed in comparison to the environmental concerns of today? If so, how? If not, why do you think this is?
What was the biggest threat to sustainability in the Lorax story? What is the biggest threat facing our world today?
Was it harmful when the Once-ler cut down the first tree? Defend your opinion.
The Once-ler says that he didn't mean to cause any harm. Does not meaning to cause harm make you less responsible? How do you take responsibility for the things you have harmed? Do we ever have a responsibility to repair the harm someone else has caused?
5. Do you think that if we take the seed and follow the Once-ler's new advice that the Lorax and his friends will come back?
6. In the beginning of the story, the Once-ler claims that everyone needs Thneeds, but at the end he claims that what everyone really needs is Truffula trees. These opinions relate to classic arguments related to a healthy environment and a healthy economy. In your opinion what do you think is more important the economy or the environment?

Answer:The major catalyst to the Lorax leaving was the cutting down of all the trees. The Lorax speaks for the trees “for the trees have no tongues” and unfortunately all his speaking did could not save them – especially as the innovation in Once-ler’s axe technology quadrupled his turnover of tree harvesting! In real life and in today’s terms, deforestation is devastating to our planet and at the current rate of deforestation the world’s rainforests could completely vanish in a hundred years. The most common reasons behind deforestation are agriculture, logging and urban sprawl. The biggest impact deforestation has is on the 80% of the earth’s animals and plants that live there. While for climate change, no trees means dryer soils and less absorption of greenhouse gasses.

First Passage: The Northern Red Oak

The northern red oak is a grand-looking tree. It can grow as high as 75 feet tall. The fall season brings shorter days and cooler temperatures. Fall also brings changes to the leaves of the northern red oak. Leaves turn from green to shades of yellow, orange, and red, which is an amazing sight. It makes the northern red oak an eye-catching stand out among other trees in the oak family.
In summer, the gray rough branches of the northern red oak grow long and wide. This is the season when branches can become overly long and heavy. The weight of the branches' leaves adds even more pounds. If the growth of the tree is not managed, the entire appearance of the tree can be changed. Early trimming helps groom the tree and keeps it from looking like a rounded triangle by summer's end.
Both the size and the shape of the northern red oak's leaves are especially interesting. It is easy to find leaves that are larger than a man's hand. They often have 8 or more pointed fingers. That makes northern red oak leaves look like large, flattened evergreen trees.
Residents in the Midwest especially enjoy the beauty of their northern red oaks in October. A common sight is to see people walking or relaxing under them. They gaze up, watching the colored leaves dance in the cool fall breeze, knowing that winter will soon come to take the leaves away.

Second Passage: The Hardy Live Oak

The live oak tree is one of the toughest trees found in the United States. It is not a tall tree. It grows only 30 to 40 feet high. But its branches are broad and strong. The branches make up for the tree's rather short height. How? The branches stretch out from the trunk like thick arms on a giant. The leaves on the branches are simple. They are oval in shape. They glisten in the sun. Most importantly, live oak leaves are always there. Live oaks stay green all year round.
The live oak is also a fast growing tree. It is often planted in the lawns of new houses. This lets people living in the house have shade in just a few years. However, the owner of the tree needs to keep the lower branches trimmed. If the lower branches are not trimmed, over time the lower tree limbs will grow downward toward the ground. These branches will seem to almost slither like a snake. In time, they will be only inches above the ground. They will also spread out over the lawn for up to 25 feet from the trunk of the tree.
The live oak tree is popular for a very important reason. It can live in very hot weather. Strong sunlight does not kill it. People in the southern United States see so many live oaks that they no longer really notice them. Live oak trees just blend into the landscape. Yet, live oaks contribute to the landscape in many ways. They provide shade in the summer heat. They also provide food for many animals. Each live oak tree can produce thousands of acorns. Squirrels are just one type of animal that scurries to feast on the little brown nuts. Live oaks are certainly a treasure in hot places with harsh sunny weather.

Part A
How does Passage 3 support the claim that the U.S. military would like to
improve its sonar technology?

It illustrates how existing technology was developed through specific
examples.

It gives statistical evidence that explains how technology has
improved in the past.

It explains how bats echolocate and gives examples of situations
where echolocation might occur.

It describes how scientists train bats and observe specific behaviors
to learn how echolocation works.

Part B
Select two sentences from Passage 3 that provide relevant support for
the answer in Part A.

"'Bats make sounds, listen to echoes, and then see objects,' notes
Simmons." (paragraph 9)

"'We now know that bats have a method of doing synthetic aperture
sonar while flying that not only determines the distance and direction
of all the objects in a scene, but also reconstructs one specific
object's shape.'" (paragraph 9)

"In Simmons' experiments, the bats are trained to differentiate
sounds with the time separation of those sounds shortened to test
the bats' response." (paragraph 10)

"Today's electronic sonar processing can differentiate between echoes
about 12 millionths of a second apart." (paragraph 11)

"Bats have it down to 2 to 3 millionths of a second." (paragraph 11)

#2 AUTOBIOGRAPHY: From the Academy of Achievement autobiographical interview:
We had to stay in the house and read these books and our friends were outside and they were playing and they knew we couldn't come out. It seems like they would be making just that much more noise to torment us. But, I hated it for the first several weeks, but then all of a sudden, I started to enjoy it because we had no money, but between the covers of those books, I could go anyplace, I could be anybody, I could do anything. And, I began to learn how to use my imagination more because it doesn't really require a lot of imagination to watch television, but it does to read. You've got to take those letters and make them into words, and those words into sentences, and those sentences into concepts, and the more you do that, the more vivid your imagination becomes. And, I believe that's probably one of the reasons that you see that creative people tend to be readers, because they're exercising their mind.
I was reading about people in laboratories, pouring chemicals from a beaker into a flask and watching the steam rise, and completing electrical circuits, and discovering galaxies, and looking at microcosms in the microscope, and I just acquired so much knowledge, and I had put myself into those settings and I saw myself differently than everybody else in my environment who just wanted to get out of school so they could get some cool clothes and a cool car. And, I was looking down the pike and seeing myself as a scientist or a physician or something of that nature, and that was one of the things that sort of carried me through much of the ridicule and some of the hardships that a person would have to go through coming from my environment and going to medical school.
The thing that I am probably the most proud of is not all the medical accomplishments or honorary degrees or various boards and societies. I'm most proud of the 100,000-plus letters that I have from young people, throughout America and around the world, whose lives have been changed by reading one of my books, or seeing me on television, or an interview in a magazine, and recognizing that they have the ability to define their own lives. If that's the legacy that I leave, I'll be very happy.
I was talking to a friend of mine, who was a cardiothoracic surgeon, who was the chief of the division, and I said, "You guys operate on the heart in babies, how do you keep them from exsanguinating" and he says, "Well, we put them in hypothermic arrest." I said, "Is there any reason that—if we were doing a set of Siamese twins that were joined at the head—that we couldn't put them into hypothermic arrest, at the appropriate time, when we're likely to lose a lot of blood?" and he said, "No." I said, "Wow, this is great." Then I said, "Why am I putting my time into this? I'm not going to see any Siamese twins." So I kind of forgot about it, and lo and behold, two months later, along came these doctors from Germany, presenting this case of Siamese twins. And, I was asked for my opinion, and I then began to explain the techniques that should be used, and how we would incorporate hypothermic arrest, and everybody said "Wow! That sounds like it might work." And, my colleagues and I, a few of us went over to Germany. We looked at the twins. We actually put in scalp expanders, and five months later we brought them over and did the operation, and lo and behold, it worked.

From Aesop’s Fables
The Fox and the Woodcutter
5. A FOX, running before the hounds, came across a Woodcutter felling an oak and begged him to show him a safe hiding-place. The Woodcutter advised him to take shelter in his own hut, so the Fox crept in and hid himself in a corner. The huntsman soon came up with his hounds and inquired of the Woodcutter if he had seen the Fox. He declared that he had not seen him, and yet pointed, all the time he was speaking, to the hut where the Fox lay hidden. The huntsman took no notice of the signs, but believing his word, hastened forward in the chase. As soon as they were well away, the Fox departed without taking any notice of the Woodcutter: whereon he called to him and reproached him, saying, "You ungrateful fellow, you owe your life to me, and yet you leave me without a word of thanks." The Fox replied, "Indeed, I should have thanked you fervently if your deeds had been as good as your words, and if your hands had not been traitors to your speech."
