Money in books 1 by A. Arbona

In some books money has a influential role in the story. Today we are going to talk about how money was a major part of "The Sneetches" by Dr. Seuess. "Sneetches" is about a group of people who are being oppressed. In this case the Plain Belly Sneetches were being oppressed by the Star Belly Sneetches. Money plays its role by resolving the conflicts they have with each other.

Money and greed takes its form as the sales man Sylvester McMonkey  McBean. Who scams the Sneetches out of their money. By losing track of their money and who's who the Sneetches live happily ever after. So in a way it looks like money actually did buy the Sneetches happiness. I make this claim because they wasted all of their money and then found peace in each other.

It could also mean that money is bad for you. I make this claim as when the Sneetches had their money the Star Bellies oppressed the Plain Bellies but after they were peaceful towards them. Making it seem that money just brought out the hate in them.
  
In conclusion money played a valuable role in ending the oppression of the Plain Bellies. Whether you believed  that because they spent all of their money that was keeping them apart in the first place or the opinion that after they mixed each other up and melted into one another they became peaceful. Without McBeans greedy money stealing ways none of it would have ever happened.
