The Sneetches by Dr. Suess

Who has power in the text? How do you know?

In the book the "Sneetches" by Dr. Suess, there is an obvious group in power, it is the star bellied Sneetches. They are the coolest ones on the beach, and they exclude the Sneetches without stars. I feel like this kind of relates to society and social class because you can relate it to people who have more money get to do more, and exclude people who are possibly lower class. Also, the Sneetches without stars upon thars want stars, and people who are poor and suffering want money and so be able to live better. In the book the Sneetches who don't have stars, get stars, but then the ones with stars get there stars taken off because they don't want to be mixed with the other Sneetches who now have stars. The Sneetches who originally had stars don't wanna be mixed with the ones who didn't, because they think they are in some way better, and I guess in some way have more power. They think thy are better because they have one thing more than the other Sneetches. I feel like they are in a way, kinda cocky. They don't see that everyone is actually equal and it doesn't matter if they have stars or not.
