In terms of favorites, many Russian peasants idolized Nicholas the Wonderworker because of his agricultural powers. Peasants, as we know by now, heavily depended on agriculture for their survival. In legend #8, you can see how much higher regards the peasant had for Saint Nicholas than he did the Elijah the Prophet. To summarize the events of the story, Saint Nicholas guided the peasant to embrace Elijah as much as he had embraced him. He did so by remembering to burn a candle for him (it was even bigger than Saint Nicholas), thanking him for how merciful he was to him.

In Dr. Seuss’s poem “The Grinch Who Stole Christmas”, the author focuses on Marxism and the effects it has on society. Marxism or Marxist criticism analysis literature in an economical view point and considers the main issues to be economical privilege or lack thereof. In the poem, it starts off stating that the Grinch did not like Christmas because “his head wasn't screwed on just right. It could be, perhaps, that his shoes were too tight” this seems to imply that the Grinch didn’t have proper education due to financial issues and as a result, he couldn’t think properly. The term “his shoes were too tight” also seems to suggest financial problems as normal people get new shoes when their shoes become too tight.

The way her nose crinkled up, when she laughed with the children, the way she snuggled closer to him while watching the movie.

The start of World War II increased tension and many Americans wanted to stay out of “Europe’s problems”(WWII book). At the time before World War II the United States was an isolationist country.
How the Grinch Stole Christmas”, also known as “The Grinch”, is a 2000 family-based, Christmas-themed, comedy film delivered by Universal and Imagine Entertainment and based on the 1957 children’s picture book written by Dr. Seuss of the same name. Directed by Ron Howard (who also directed “Splash”, “Rush”, and “The Dilemma”), “The Grinch” was the first full-length feature film adapted from the series of outstanding and beloved Dr. Seuss tales.

In addition, this included adding some vivid information about the
