98 and ¾ percent guaranteed



“So be sure when you step, Step with care and great tact. And remember that life's A Great Balancing Act. And will you succeed? Yes! You will, indeed! (98 and ¾ percent guaranteed) Kid, you'll move mountains.” 
 Dr. Seuss, Oh, the Places You'll Go!


In high school there are so many required texts you have to read. Does anyone really enjoy reading 1984, Hamlet, or Wuthering Heights? I could choose one book as a mandatory read for all high school students it would be Oh The Places You’ll Go by Dr. Seuss. I received this book for my high school graduation gift. At the time I thought it was a useless gift because I was too old for a Dr. Seuss book. After I read it I found it extremely appropriate for a graduation gift. Although Dr. Seuss is known for his children’s books he wrote this particular book for adults. This is a timeless book that addresses the future journeys, hardships, and decisions we will all face but in a positive way. Dr. Seuss uses colorful illustrations and provides a lot of insight in simple rhyme that is easy to understand. This is a must read because it is timeless book for all ages that addresses the future journeys, hardships, and decisions we will all face.
