DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

1. Why do you think The Grinch was seen as “other” by the town?

2. Is there anyone you can think of that you truly believe is incapable of transformation for the better? What makes you think that about them?

3. Dr. Seuss intended the town of Whoville to represent Christianity. What parallels do you see between the Whos and Christians?

4. What role did Cindy Lou play in the change we see in The Grinch? How did she play a part in showing him what Christmas is really about?

5. How can we as Christians show hope and joy even when our world or our community experiences hard times? How can we tangibly “sing anyway” and show people that our hope is in God despite our circumstances?
