The Cat in the Hat

So tired from camping. Don't want to do this blog, but have to.

Option #2: Evaluation Blog
Write a blog that uses the id, ego, ans superego to explain the behavior of a character in The Cat in the Hat. Your blog should include the following:
1. An argument that states whether the character is dominated by the id, ego, or superego
2. At least two examples of indirect characterization as support
3. An explanation of how each piece of support supports your main argument

In the book Cat in the Hat by Dr. Seuss, the cat is mostly dominated by the id. The definition of id by Sigmund Freud is Id- The id is the part of the personality that contains our primitive impulses-- such as thirst, anger, hunger-- and the desire for instant gratification or release. According to Freud, we are born with id. The id is an important part of our personality because as newborns, it allows us to get our basic needs met. Freud believed that the id is based on our pleasure principle. The id wants whatever feels good at the time, with no consideration for the other circumstances of the situation. The id is there, he tells the ego to base behavior on how the action will influence he self, specifically how it will bring the self pleasure. This definition really applies to the Cat. The Cat in the book had desire to have fun, made big ugly messes, and brought in Thing 1 and Thing 2, who caused more big mess in the house. the Cat is mostly dominated by the id but he also have a little of superego at the end of the book. He had a little superego at the end of the book because he knew that he caused a big mess and had to clean it up. And he did clean all the messes up before Sally and the Narrator's mother came back. At the beginning of the story, all the Cat wanted to do was have fun. He didn't really care about what was happening to the house. He told the kids about his games like, "UP, UP UP WITH FISH" and then brought in "WHAT'S IN A BOX" with Thing 1 and Thing 2 in it. ALl they did was cause more chaos in the house, which nobody cares about excepet the fish. But then a little till the end, the Narrator knew that what the Cat was doing was wrong and he tried to stop the Cat. The Cat then was confuse why the kids weren't having fun and why they tried to stop his game. He then leaves. But then came back to clean up his mess. The Cat cleaned up the mess before the mother comes home. When the mother comes home, she didn't even supect that anything happen in her house. All she said when she got in the house was "Did you have any fun? Tell me. What did you do?". That was all she said and Sally and Narrtaor didn't even tell their mother what had happen.
