What is a doctor? Collins dictionary first defines a doctor as "a person licensed to practice medicine." I would define a doctor as someone who can heal most ailments. Theodor Seuss Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss, was not a doctor in the typical sense. He was given the nickname Dr. Seuss by people who saw his cartoons, but he never got his doctorate. Does the fact that he is not a certified doctor take away his right to be one on paper? I felt like he was able to heal and ease the pain of many through his writings because the lessons seemed to prove beneficial to many situations. His rhymes spread inspiration through the readers which is why I believe he cured some of the lack of self confidence in children growing up.
I would like to thank Judith and Neil Morgan for writing the book, Dr. Seuss & Mr. Geisel, because it really shines a light onto the life of Theodor Seuss Geisel. I am just starting the book but it has really opened my eyes. This blog kind of just goes through a modified version of my thought process during the readings. Enjoy.
