The movie "The Lorax" is about when the Lorax kept telling the Once-lers to stop cutting down the Truffula Trees because the Lorax speaks for the trees. The Lorax knew that the Once-lers would run out of trees. The Lorax knew that he would have to make the Brown Bar-ba-loots leave because there wouldn't be anymore Truffula fruits for them to eat.The Lorax would also have to make the Humming Fish leave because the Once-lers were throwing out trash in the pond and the pond would get all dirty and un-healthy to the fish and the Humming fish would have to leave.The Lorax also knew that the Swomee-Swans would have to leave because the factory had made smog smoke.
All of these things did happen.The fish,the swans,the Brown Bar-ba-loots,and the Lorax left. Then,all that was left was only the one Once-ler. The Lorax was never seen again.
I think the Once-ler didn't have a face because he probably had an ugly face that we probably shouldn't see.
If I got the last Truffula Tree seed,I would plant it,water it nd take care of it.
Thneeds are things that are made from the truffula tree leaves.
I think unless is used as saying the Lorax will not come back until the land is healthy and the air is clean and fresh again and the land is exactly as before.

The movie was about the Once-ler not listening to the Lorax. The Lorax said not to cut down the trees.The Once-ler didn't listen and now he is a sad and lonely Once-ler.
The Lorax was saying, "I am the Lorax, I speak for the trees." The Once-ler's family were making thneeds.They were making them out of Truffula Trees!

Our class watched a movie where there were a lot of trees and then someone called the Once-Ler started a business and made thneeds,made out of the trees. The business stopped because there were no more trees to use. A boy had the last tree seed. If I had the seed Iwould plant it and water it and give it sunlight. I think the Once-Lers name means that there ONCE were trees and things and now it's all gone. The Lorax was a thing that stood up for the trees and at the end he left a stone that said "Unless." It means unless you re-plant and bring back all the animals and things, it will stay the same.:-D

A few days ago more butterflies hatched! There were about five that hatched and about two or three larvas are left. The first butterfly has color to its' wings. They were flying around everywhere! It was cool. I have never kept a butterfly. I have done it before last year though. ~Savannah~

Hi my name is Mercedes.Our class watched the Lorax. If I had the the last Truffula seed, I would plant it where it said unless. Because I think unless means unless you plant the tree there nothing will grow there. Or live there anymore.

The move was about a Lorax that tried to stop Once-ler from cutting down all the Truffula Trees.
But all the Truffula Trees were cut down. All the animals left. The Once-ler had the last Truffula seed. He gave it to the boy and told him to plant it,nuture it, and help it to grow so it can reproduce. So things can go back to the way it was before.

The Lorax is about a guy named the Once-ler who takes all the Truffula Trees to make thneeds. But the Lorax tries to stop him but he can't. The Lorax has to send away many animals away because of the Once-ler. The Lorax left a stone saying "unless".So this is what the Lorax is about.

In the Lorax movie it is about Earth Day. They made clothes out of the trees. Why no face? It was the fact of the Grinch. My teacher asked me what's an unless. I think that meant if he didn't plant that seed the trees didn't grow.
