Moral Value
Moral value from this story are, we
must think about other people,not only think about our self. Can we see from
this movie, Horton will do every thing to keep Whos. Because we are can’t to do
every thing alone,and maybe letter one day we will need some help from other
people.
And we have to be patient in every
thing happend,and always positive thinking. Because Horton is very pation
however his neighbors hate with him or tell if he is crazy.
Last, if we want to get something,we
must be struggle and never give up to get it. Horoton also never give up to
keep Whos,and last he got happy ending because he did it.
Comment
This story is very good, bacause we
can learn every thing here,and this film can be sample for children to have
love with other people. For example Horton love with Whos although he don't know they are before. And he keeps struggling to help them.
This film also creative because we can't imagine that in a dust has a life.
