The Lorax by Dr. Seuss is a short cartoon movie. It is basically a flashback of a Once’ler who destroyed a whole forest to create Thneeds. Thneeds are anything that people can get commercially and are bad for the environment. The Lorax was a creature who lived in the forest and tried the whole time to save the forest and the animals living in it. In the end though, the Once’ler did not listen so all the animals left and the once beautiful forest became a wasteland. . The whole purpose of this video was to raise awareness about pollution and the importance of taking care of our environment. The Lorax new that the creation of the Thneeds would lead to the ecological destruction of the forest if it was not taken care of but nobody would listen. This cartoon ties in with transcendentalism well because the Once’ler was independent so his free will and non-conformity led him to the creation of the business. Also, he was the only one who initially started the business so he relied on himself to get it started. The Lorax show the importance of nature and the necessity there is to preserve it which is also a major part of transcendentalism. Below is the hyperlink to the video.  video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6650219631867189375#

i think you got it wrong alissa:The once'ler doesnt really transcend till the end of the movie. Even thought were the once'ler lives in a polluted area he is still surronded by nature, like Ralph Waldo Emerson said " For Nature is not always tricked in holiday attire..." . Away from society and influenced by the sad polluted nature is were he finally realizes the importance of nature(when he finally trancends).  |

I dont think the Once'ler was a nonconformist or self reliant. His business relied on people to buy his products and he also had to know what people wanted so he can make it.

I get what your trying to say. I just think that because he decided to go off on his own and try to create his own buisness and not listen to the important things the Lorax had to say made him a non-conformist and self-reliant. He believed in his own opinions and did not care for what others had to say.
