This paper argues that several of his tales can be used as aids in teaching the basic principles of many sociological/criminological theories.

A note Rodolfo Flores to make it your New Year’s resolution (if you celebrate New Years) to write for the FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL scuttlebutt in 2019. We three hope you have a great MEDIA!!! Winter Break and Happy Instagram:@garfieldhsela Holidays! ​ Twitter: @GarfieldHSELA ​ -1- Break Time By: Cherly Valdez During the thanksgiving break, I took advantage of leisure time to spend with my youngest sibling, aged six. With Christmas approaching, we decided to watch Jim Carrey’s How the Grinch Stole Christmas. The 2000 film ​ ​ is an adaptation of Dr. Seuss’ children’s book. As Christmas neared, the Grinch recalled a time when he was made fun of for making a homemade gift for a girl in his class. Petrified by the memory, the Grinch attempted to ruin Christmas for others as they did to him. We watched as the film’s main protagonist developed a warmer and loving nature. His transformation involved his ability to find happiness despite having a heart “three sizes too small.” This version of the Grinch taught me lessons beyond Christmas and holidays, it taught me the importance of letting grudges go, it taught me that spending time with myself is necessary, it taught me to appreciate the loving people around me. But when the trailer for Illumination’s The Grinch was released, I was disappointed by its different approach to the original.

I am thankful that we could plan several new safe and healthy Lost Pines Christmas events," said Main Street Manager Rebecca Gleason. This year, the City is hosting the first 'Making Bastrop Bright,' a lighted holiday decorating contest. Registrants decorate their homes or businesses, with winners chosen by the public.

  • SEUSSICAL This December, W.F. West Theatre Continues Its Tradition
    SEUSSICAL This December, W.F. West Theatre continues its tradition of bringing children’s theatre to our community when we present: Seussical. The amazing world of Dr. Seuss and his colorful characters come to life on stage in this musical for all ages. The Cat in the Hat takes us through the story of Horton the Elephant and his quest to prove that Whos really do exist. The story: A young boy, JoJo, discovers a red-and-white-striped hat. The Cat in the Hat suddenly appears and brings along with him Horton the Elephant, Gertrude McFuzz, the Whos, Mayzie La Bird and Sour Kangaroo. Horton hears a cry for help. He follows the sound to a tiny speck of dust floating through the air and realizes that there are people living on it. They are so small they can't be seen – the tiny people of Whoville. Horton places them safely onto a soft clover. Sour Kangaroo thinks Horton is crazy for talking to a speck of dust. As Horton is left alone with his clover, the Cat thrusts Jojo into the story. Horton discovers much more about the Whos and their tiny town of Whoville while Jojo's imagination gets the better of him. Horton and Jojo hear each other and become friends when they realize their imaginations are so much alike. Gertrude writes love songs about Horton. She believes Horton doesn't notice her because of her small tail. Mayzie appears with her Bird Girls and offers Gertrude advice which leads her to Doctor Dake and his magic pills for “amayzing” feathers.
