He gives the seed to a young boy in hopes he can plant it and rebuild the forest. We learn at the end of the story that the Once-ler has one single seed, the only seed left of the Truffula Trees. In the end the Lorax gives up hope and leaves, but not without leaving the Once-ler a message that simply said “Unless”. As time goes on the once happy and healthy creatures of the forest are forced to leave. He tries to reason with the Once-ler and make his realize he is destroying their home, but he doesn’t care. The Lorax feels that it’s his place to speak for the creatures of the forest and the trees because they are unable to speak for themselves. Living in the forest is a creature named the Lorax. So he builds a factory and cuts down the Truffula trees to use their fluff to make the sweaters, called a Thneed. He soon realizes that he can do a lot wit the trees like build with them and use their “tuffs” of fluff on top to knit into sweaters.
He falls in love with the Truffula Trees. The story goes that a man (the “Once-ler”) arrives in the beautiful forest. The story reflects just how much industry effects our environment. It was published in 1971 and later made into the movie.
If you are unfamiliar with the story, The Lorax is a story by Dr. But I like to think that there is hope to be found in the movie too. My husband thinks The Lorax is a very depressing movie. I just found out the other day that one of my beloved stories from my childhood has been made into a brand new movie – The Lorax.
