The Grinch
Theme and Summary
The Theme Of the Grinch
We think that the theme of the Grinch is that there is more than the eye can see. We think this because in the text, it says "The Grinch, Who lived just north of Whoville, hated Christmas!The whole Christmas season. He hated Christmas in the beginning, although, nobody knew why. Also, in the text it says " Then he slithered and slucked, with a smile most unpleasant, and around the room he took every present." He was trying to ruin Christmas for the Who's. Then in the text it says, " Maybe Christmas, he thought doesn't come from a store, Maybe Christmas...perhaps... means a little bit more." He realizes that there is more than the eye can see. Christmas isn't just about the singing, and the presents, it is about so much more, All of these details support that there is more than the eye can see.
