Your eyesight's much too keen." Update this section! For example, when Marco tells his father his imaginative story and describes his reaction, his response is blatantly discouraging: Marco’s father is equally dissatisfied with Marco’s answers - whether he conforms to the mundane reality or expresses his imagination. There is a tangible feeling of disconnect between the two. Marco and his father both struggle to understand their differing world views. Seuss then creates a clear division between adults and children, suggesting that children are born with an innate sense of creativity, wonder, and imagination, while Adults cannot budge from their mundane reality. This is significant as here Marco makes a conscious decision to lie and conceal his imagination, and conform to the uniform mindset of adults. When he first attempts to tell his father about his magical creation, he is met with sternness and is scolded for his apparent lies.īy the end of the text, when his father asks him again, Marco has realized the futility of his attempt, and resigns himself to the most literal answer. He represents the playfulness and joy of a child’s mind, as well as its openness. His imagination transforms mundane objects, like a horse and carriage into a sled, and a horse into a zebra.
‘And to think I saw it on Mulberry Street’ centers on a young boy named Marco, who, while walking on Mulberry Street finds himself imagining a fantastical world, creating an exciting reality for himself.
