Oh, the
Places You'll Go! is a book written and illustrated by children's author Dr.
Seuss. It was first published by Random House on January 22, 1990, making it
his last book published before his death. The book concerns the journey of life
and its challenges.
Though
written in the style of classics such as Green Eggs and Ham and The Cat in the
Hat, Oh, the Places You’ll Go! has many specific characters including a
narrator and the reader. A young boy, referred to simply as "you", initiates
the action of the story. However, the presence of a main character helps
readers to identify with the book. It is written in second person and uses
future tense.
It is
perhaps best known for the line, "Will you succeed? Yes, you will indeed.
(983⁄4% guaranteed.)" It also
features Seuss's trademark creative use of the English language, as in,
"Simple it's not, I'm afraid you will find, for a mind maker-upper to make
up his mind."
