Sam suggests his friend to eat the green eggs and ham in a box, in a house, with a fox, and with a mouse. The unidentified character insist that he, "would not like them" in "a box" or "a house," nor with "a fox" or "a mouse," that he "would not eat them here or there," in fact he "would not eat them anywhere." Finally, after multiple attempts to get his friend to eat the green eggs and ham, he gives in. The character willingly tries the green eggs and ham to prove to Sam that he will not enjoy them. The unknown character embraces the delightful dish and tells Sam he would eat them “here or there” he would eat the green eggs and ham anywhere.

== = __**Author Biography**__ = Theodor Seuss Geise, also known as the well known author/ illustrator, Dr Seuss, was born on March 2, 1904 in Springfield Massachusetts to Henrietta Seuss and Theodor Robert Geise. His father was a parks superintendent where he was in charge of Springfield's Forest Park. Both Geisel's father and grandfather were brew masters in Springfield which could have influenced Seuss views on prohibition. Theodor left Springfield Massachusetts to attend Dartmouth College where he became editor- in- chief of Dartmouth's humor magazine //Jack- O- Lantern//. Years later Seuss returned to the United States where he pursued a career as a cartoonist. Seuss felt the need to support America during World War II by drawing weekly political cartoons for PM magazines. Being recognized as a cartoonist, Seuss had his first big break when asked to illustrate for a collection of children sayings. Although the book was unsuccessful, Seuss now had the desire to have his first book, //And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street// published. His book was denied 27 times before being published by Vanguard Press. With a 225 word restriction, Seuss came to write his most well known and defined book //The Cat and The Hat//.
