Sneetches

The book the Sneetches can be viewed as an allegory because just looking at it you see that its about these animals. Some of the Sneethes have stars on their bellies and they think that they are better than any other Sneetches. There are some Sneetches who do not have stars on their bellies and they are jealous of the other Sneetches. Well McMonkey-McBean  comes and he tells the Sneetches with out stars that if they pay him they can use his star machine and it will put a star on their tummies. So they do this. Well the original star Sneetches get upset and McMonkey-McBean  tells them that if they pay him they can use his star off machine and so they do this. Well the sneetches end up going back and forth between the machine but once they're out of money they realize that they don't know who the original star Sneetches were. But the big thing they realize is that they're all the same and enjoy the same. So they all start including one another in everything they do. If you look closer you can see a much deeper meaning to this childrens story. It reminds me a lot of when whites thought that they were better than blacks. So they wouldn't include them in things and by law they couldn't. By making laws saying that blacks couldn't do certain things only reinforced whites to think that they were better. You could look at the Sneetches and say that the ones with the stars are like the white people and the ones with out would be like black people. You could compare McMonkey-McBean   to someone like Martin Luther King jr because McMonkey-McBean  helped make the Sneetches realize that even though they look different they're the same. Martin Luther King jr helped people realize that we're all the same and should be treated the same.
