This film is based on the book "The Lorax" by Dr. Seuss.
In the town of Thneedville, everything is plastic and manufactured... and the people like it that way. But when Ted's friend Audrey says she'd like to see a real tree one day, Ted goes on a quest to find one in order to win her love.
Ted ventures outside the walls of Thneedville in search of The Once-ler, supposedly the only individual who knows how to find a tree. Ted finds the old hermit who reluctantly tells the tale of how he was responsible for all of the trees being cut down. The Once-ler also tells Ted about how the magical representative of the trees named The Lorax tried to stop him to no avail.
But while Ted hears the story of the trees, the evil head of the O'Hare Company conspires to keep him from bringing them back.
-Purpose/Movement
If you can get past the whole political thing, "Dr. Seuss' The Lorax" is a fun movie for both kids and adults. Grown-ups will like seeing their beloved childhood book brought to the big screen in 3D while kids will enjoy the antics of the Lorax and the bears. Plus it's a good message about conserving natural resources and taking care of the environment. To support and time materialism

From the beginning there’s a town called Thneed Town .Its a city that has no real trees at all ,only trees that come out from the factory produce lights. And for the clean air will be selling in the form of a tank by O’Hare organization.
Ted the main character in the story has a crush on Audrey a girl who desires to see the real trees coming out on the dirt again ,and she said that if someone could get her one she will marry that man ,which is best inspiration for Ted to seek for an alive tree again. His grandmother gave him a clue that there is a man called Once-ler who knows what happened to all the trees but he lives outside the town cause Ted to go on the adventure to find him. Once-ler said that he’s the cause of the extinction of the trees ,go back to a long time ago . He found a place where there are so many wild animals a forest full of green colour .He planned to cut the trees down to make his product and sell off to people in the city. He started chopping down a tree ,so here comes the guardian of the forest The Lorax. The Lorax resist Oncerler’s plan with his best eventually they made a deal that Onceler is not going to cut down anymore trees and Lorax will let him live in the forest. But his product called thneed became really popular that so many people come to buy it at his house. And then his family visit him and congratulate with success .
Define systems and models
System is when things come together and work together become a relationship.
Models is the thing that work along with system it visualized the system
Identify and State different systems you observed in the movie “The Lorax” (in the order of smaller to
larger systems)
Ted’s house is open-system
Thneed town is open-system (cause Ted still could get out)
The once-ler’s house is isolated system
Explain and Describe how each system you mentioned works
- Ted’s house is open-system
- Because people still can get in and out freely
- Thneed town is open-system
- Because the town is affected by the environment outside make people have to buy fresh air. But its not a closed system because Ted which is a matter still could get out of the town and get back in.
- The once-ler’s house is closed system
- No-one can get in or out of his house and he himself doesn't come out ,only things that's in and out of his house all the time is the air ,so its closed system.
Suggest the possibilities of any small systems within bigger systems
Thneed town system within the outside world system
People system within the Thneed town system
Suggest how “The Lorax” represents the concept of systems thinking
In the story in there are so many kinds of system ,small system in a bigger ones .
