Cat In The Hat blog(or cat and the hat, which i thought it was until proven wrong at the age of 16) rotflmao

anyyywhooo.. i hope you're done laughing at the title of this blog .. because sadly its true.. i didn't realize it was "in" until one of my besties -jaimie- pointed it out when she heard me say "and" i honestly didn't even care its not that big of a difference but i guess cat in the hat makes more since than cat and the hat... ahhh what you can get away with by being blonde. Now down to business!

So i picked option two, which was the evaluative essay. The character I'm going to write this blog about is the cat.
I believe that the Cat is dominated by the id. The id is defined as the part of the personality that contains our primitive impulses. Its the desire for instant gratification. The id is led by want and our pleasure principle. The id can be referred to as a devil on someones shoulder. In a nut-shell the id controls us and its our desire for self gratification at no expense on how it will effect others around us. The id simply doesn't care.
In the beginning of the book the cat busts rigth into the kids home. He just starts in with his "fun" not even asking if they think its okay. The fish says no but he ignores him just so he can have his "fun". This is a perfect example of how the cat just wants to have his fun and doesn't care about anyone else, much like the id. Throughout the middle of the book we see the Cat trashing their home by letting Thing 1 and Thing 2 out. Yet again, the cat is still having his fun but he doesn't care about the mess being made. He continues to keep having "fun"until the mother comes home. Towards the end of the book after thing one and thing two are captured we see the Cat change what personality he is dominated by. It was clear to see that while through the book with the Cat ignoring the fish telling him no, the children saying that having the cat at their house was a horrible situation, the cat letting thing one and two out to destroy their home,and their house getting trashed its safe to say that the cat didn't care about their home or the children all he wanted was to have some "fun". Towards the end we see the cat leave as the house is still a giant mess and the mom is almost home, but the cat comes back to help pick up his mess. This simple act changes him from the id to the superego. The superego is described as the part of us that represents our conscience. It helps to dictate whats rigth and wrong are and controls a person. Someone ruled by the superego is selfless and doesn't just act for themselves. We see this bog time when he comes back to help pick up their home before their mother walks in the door. I think its probably safe to say that anyone can change what psychoanalytical personality they might be dominated by.

well im pretty sure that answers all of the three parts :)
