	The Sneetches and Other Stories - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Some Sneetches have a green star on their belly, and in the beginning of the story the presence or absence of a star is the basis for discrimination.
		Sneetches who have stars on their bellies are part of the "in crowd" while sneetches without stars are shunned and excluded.
		The story is an obvious allegory for racism and discrimination, and teaches the lesson that all people are the same on the inside, despite outward differences.

		After the Plain-Belly Sneetches got the green stars on their bellies he was able to convince the original Star-Belly Sneetches that stars where no longer in, so they should have them removed.
		In this story both Zax came to a point in the road were to keep going one of them was going to have to move out of the way of the other one.
		The story Too Many Daves is a very short story with very little time for character development or much of a plot, but seeing as how it is a children’s story it is able to do that.

		In the first story, The Sneetches, the reader encounters two types of creatures—the Star-Belly Sneetches who “had bellies with stars” and the Plain-Belly Sneetches, “who had none upon thars [bellies].” From the beginning, it is apparent the Star-Belly Sneetches perceive the Plain-Bellies to be inferior to them based on Plain-Bellies’ lack of stars.
		In the story, the Star-Bellies Sneetches stereotyped the Plain-belly Sneetches as the lowly inferior creatures, even though there was no basis for this perception.
		As the story moves on, a man, Sylvester McMonkey McBean, arrives in town with a machine that would make the Plain-Belly Sneetches equal with the Star-Belly Sneetches by placing a star on their bellies for the bargain price of three dollars.
