The Cat and the Hat Project

Option #2: Evaluative Essay






In the beginning and in the middle of the story the Cat was dominated by the id. The Cat is dominated by the id because at the beginning of the story the Cat wanted to play games with the Narrator and Sally. The Cat did not consider the Narrator and Sally's opinion and went on to play inside their house. Although the children did not say anything to the Cat the fish did. The Fish did not allow the Cat to be playing in the house; and the Cat ignored his opinions, and kept on playing games. And so the Cat continues to ignore the Fish's command throughout the whole story. When a person plays a game that they enjoy they would most likely have a smile on their face. This same look applys to the Cat. The Cat also has a smile onhis face when he was showing his tricks to the children. This is an example of him showing how he wants to play more games and show more tricks to the children.


In the middle of the story he brought in two things: thing 1 and thing 2. This shows how heis an id because he does not again consider what the children thought along with the Fish. The Cat goes with what he thinks and let thing 1 and 2 run around the children's house making a mess.


At the ending of the story the Cat became an ego. How he became an ego is that the children finally spoke up and told the Cat to leave. He did but came back again to clean up his mess that thing 1 and thing 2 caused.
