12. GREEN EGGS AND HAM

13. Random Facts First Published on August 12, 1960
As of 2001 it is the fourth best selling children’s book of all time.
Bennet Cerf, Dr. Seuss's publisher, wagered Seuss that he could not write a book using only fifty different words. The bet came after Seuss completed The Cat in the Hat, which used 225 words.

14. Random Facts
The 50 are: a, am, and, anywhere, are, be, boat, box, car, could, dark, do, eat, eggs, fox, goat, good, green, ham, here, house, I, if, in, let, like, may, me, mouse, not, on, or, rain, Sam, say, see, so, thank, that, the, them, there, they, train, tree, try, will, with, would, you

15. Setting
Unnamed public areas in and around possibly Whoville.  This book is essentially a Road Story, taking place walking, in a car, train and boat. Note: Book first published in 1960 (during Civil Rights, Cold War, Vietnam conflicts). This book reflects the conservative establishment vs. liberal youth conflict at the time, as well as the Establishment / Hippie generation gap.

16. Protagonist
Unnamed man, older, book reading, stuffed shirt (hereafter referred to as SS), tends to be angry, negative and alone.

17. Antagonist
Hyperactive, challenging, younger, exhibitionist Sam, tends to be happy and positive, enjoying the tacit support of characters around him, who good-naturedly go along with his schemes

18. Conflict
Stuffed Shirt (SS) sees Sam cavorting around in the “park” and states loudly that he doesn't like him. Sam counters by inquiring about SS's like for Green Eggs and Ham, which he presents to SS. Note that this green dish is likely a metaphor for Sam's strange liberal ideas, which seem so unnatural and wrong to the establishment figure SS.

19. Climax
SS is pushed to the edge (literally underwater, after their boat is destroyed and sinks after another confrontation). Surrounded by all that he has rejected, SS agrees to try Green Eggs and Ham, after Sam changes his tactic to “Try them.” SS finds that he likes them. Epiphany (a realization) moment for SS

20. Dénouement
SS goes on to declare that he will eat Green Eggs and Ham with all the previously rejected settings and characters.

21. Resolution
With his arm around Sam's shoulder, SS declares his like of Green Eggs and Ham than thanks Sam for his efforts. The empty plate in his hand, a symbol of his acceptance (consumption) of new, youthful and strange ideas.
