The Cat in the Hat Project!!!!!( Final project of the YEAR!!!!)

Well this is the final blog for English (sad face) Of course we will miss you Erin..YOU ARE THE COOLEST!!!!!!(i think that is a word..he...he...).....Back to business...My blog is going to be option two..Evaluative Essay..I am going to do this on the Fish!!! I believe the Fish is basically dominated by the superego (even though some people say he is a selfish fish because he is not letting the kids have fun...and wants things to be only his way...for now I am going to argue that he is dominated by the superego..). One example of indirect characterization is when the fish says in the beginning of the story, "No, no make that fish go away..". Which shows that the fish is already being protective of the kids. The fish in a ways seems to be acting as the mother and taking the role of the mother telling the kids to not listen to the fish. This is showing that the fish follows all the rules and does not like to break the rules, and is very careful to do things and making choices, and in a way he is acting like the "good" character that does everything he does is not bad, so the fish is a superego...( The fish in a way is doing everything a parent might want their child to do...)...furhtermore, then when the fish says to the Cat in the Hat (after a few pages in the story), "Put me down this is not fun..", the fish gets scared because the cat in the hat is holding the bowl where the fish is and the fish does not like it. It also seems the fish gets mad because he does not like that the cat in the hat is there in the house but he is also part of what the cat in the hat is destroying, as the Cat in the Hat is doing, and the fish cannot fully control the situation because he is in a bowl...he cannot protect himself from the Cat in the Hat. But even though the fish cannot stop the Cat in the Hat from doing what the Cat in the Hat is doing, he still has a superego saying...and wants the Cat in the Hat to go away and screams and yells at the cat....Another example would be in a way the fishes actions. Basically the fish is always looking at the Cat in the Hat in almost every single page, he is carefully looking at the Cat in the Hat and has an expression, of what is he going to do next, and I believe there is a part where he shows curiosity of what the Cat in the Hat is doing ( or maybe he just likes what the cat in the hat is doing...). Also the fish tries to stay away from the cat in the Hat and just sees what the cat is doing..this shows the fish is a superego because he stays away from the cat and is basically in the corner...just looking at what the cat will do next and telling the kids to not (or thinking ), get close to the cat and not to listen to the cat...Maybe this effects the children's choice of trying to stop the cat in the Hat from destroying the house. So what he is saying like for example, when he says,"No, no does things should not be here when your mom is not here..", after words the narrator got the net and put thing one ant thing two in the box...so the narrator and sally have gotten some of the superego the Fish has tired to get them to do it...and so after the fish says to the kids not to do anything wrong, at the end the kids do something "good", that is considered by the Fish, which shows he wants, not be perfect but follow all the rules..and does not like to get in to trouble (like the angle on your right side).....but at the same time the kids did not do anything, in a way they just watched what the cat did just like the fish did ( put not yelling all the time ..and saying to do all the right things...) The fish looks simple, unlike the cat who has a very big hat (who knows that might count as his devil tail..just thinking...), the fish does not wear anything and is just in a bowl that sometimes might protect him and sometimes not....The fish is basically a very simple superego fish...at the end after the Cat in the Hat cleans up his mess the fish has a big smile on his face and so now the fish in a way has accepted the id, the Cat in the Hat...and so maybe some of the superego has gone to the Cat in the Hat......
This is it..SEE YOU NEXT YEAR EVERYONE!!!!!!!"11"!!!!!!!(Have a safe and FUN summer!!!...Erin...good luck...you will be an AWESOME teacher and who ever gets to be your student will be very lucky...do good things and GOOD LUCK ERIN!!!!!!!)
