1. Why does the Lorax leave the word "UNLESS" on a pile of rocks? What does "unless" mean?
The Once-ler says that he didn't mean to cause the harm he caused. Does, not meaning to cause harm make you less responsible? How do you take responsibility for the things you have harmed?
# Do we ever have a responsibility to repair the harm someone else has caused? Why or why not?
3. Do you think that if we take the seed and follow the Once-ler's new advice that the Lorax and his friends will come back?
4. In the beginning of the story, the Once-ler claims that everyone needs Thneeds, but at the end he claims that what everyone really needs is Truffula trees. Why does he change his mind? What is different about the value of trees and the value of Thneeds? What makes trees more valuable?
