"Tell the Cat in the Hat/You do not want to play./He should not be here./He should not be about. He should not be here/When your mother is out!" (11). This is an example of the fish trying to persuade the kids to rid the house of

I wonder is the narrator going to choose the fish of Shelia. There is countless reasons why he can choose her and the fish. He fishes all day long. That he knows the what kind of

Edgar Allen Poe’s short story The Black Cat immerses the reader into the mind of a murdering alcoholic. Poe himself suffered from alcoholism and often showed erratic behavior with violent outburst. Poe is famous for his American Gothic horror tales such as the Tell-Tale Heart and the Fall of the House of Usher. “The Black Cat is Poe’s second psychological study of domestic violence and guilt. He added a new element to aid in evoking the dark side of the narrator, and that is the supernatural world.” (Womack). Poe uses many of the American Gothic characteristics such as emotional intensity, superstition, extremes in violence, the focus on a certain object and foreshadowing lead the reader through a series of events that are horrifying

(e)The fish tells the children that the Cat in the Hat “should not be here when your mother is not” to warn them that the Cat is going to cause trouble (10).

The adults, namely Ms. Fisher and the Homeowners Association, don’t know what’s causing the disappearance of these colourful fish. They believe that it’s one of the kids down from Tangerine, since Lake Windsor has the more expensive houses, and Tangerine is poor, most people being Spanish and farmers. Besides the fact that the HOA is lowkey racist, and that them being blind relates to the motif of ‘sight’, the fact that they’re unaware of what happened infuriates Paul. It isn’t until he speaks up, and announces the truth-- that it’s actually the osprey, does anyone know with certainty what happened. This shows how the osprey aren’t free [from blame] until the truth is

This scene is Nick’s first inspiration for how he should go about recovering. The trouts’ literal state in the water mirrors Nick’s emotional state and recovery process. There are rapid waters all around the fish, which compares to the rough emotional condition that Nick is facing. Nick notices how the trout change positions and push again the swirling current in order to stay steadily on the right track. Nick can use this to understand that he must change his own

Who gets caught out there to be responsible to watch everyone’s wacky things despite his refusal? Clumsy Cat! And he does it all while balancing them on skates in this rhythmic tale. From a six-foot cake to a ball on his head, Clumsy Cat lacks the confidence it takes to keep these items in order before the jumble of characters return. Will he come crashing down? Or will he succeed at it? Only time will tell to see if he will overcome his

Within us, we have the dark and the bright side. We do the good, but have evil thoughts and some people act on it, thinking it may drag them to feel good in doing so. This informative short-story provides a perfect example on how we take control of our mind. Edgar Allan Poe, the author of “The Black Cat”, develops the central idea that violence solves problems. On the eve of an unnamed narrator’s death, he writes a story of how his life collapsed, turning around his love for everybody and falling into a big pile of a hopeless mess and madness by committing brutal actions.

The Cat in the Hat is a good book for many reasons including how well illustrated and how well written the book is. Dr. Seuss has been known as a genius when it comes to children’s books. He is very well known and that is one of the reasons why I chose The Cat in the Hat. The Cat in the Hat is about a cat who tries to make two kids have fun on a rainy day while their mom is away. There is also a fish who is an antagonist of the story because he is keeping the children from having fun by constantly reminding them that their mother would not like what was happening in her house.

One reason why the cat is a criminal is because he locks the children in their room all day as hostages. While the cat keeps the children in their rooms, the cat eats the children’s food from their refrigerator right in front of the children. The cat says, “Oh, I like this food you children have” (Dr. Seuss 27). The children are starving all day and start to get sick and throw up. The cat does not care at all about the children’s health and continues to eat in front of the children.

This means that both the fish owner also owns a cat, and that God at some point had to create this evil force.

Next, the speaker talks about the fish’s eyes, larger, shallower, and yellower than hers. The different pieces of fishing line caught in his jaw shows how many times he either escaped or was let go by the other fishers. Then the description of the rented boat, the parts of the boat that all turned into a rainbow.

“Of course you always had that detached quality as if you were playing a game without much concern over whether you won or lost, and now that you’ve lost the game, not lost but just quit playing, you have that sort of charm that usually only happens in very old or hopelessly sick people, the charm of the defeated” (30). In this quote, Maggie, a character in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, is expressing to her husband Brick how he surrounds his life with a defeated aura. This defeated aura restricts him from overcoming his struggles and blinds him from seeing the future. He holds onto to several crutches, in hopes that his struggles will be pushed aside and he can escape reality. These crutches come in several forms, but are essentially just excuses. People all over the world, such as the contestants on one of America’s most watched TV shows--The Biggest Loser, hold onto crutches and find excuses for not pursuing a future outcome. On the show, overweight contestants are trained to lose weight and eat healthy in order to give their body a second chance. All contestants have a story behind their weight gain, and every time it was because they could not let go of a crutch and chose to eat their way out of hardships. Maggie’s husband Brick does essentially the same, but with different crutches and different methods of escape. So, through Tennessee Williams’s play Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, it can be proved that holding onto crutches hampers people from

The psychology or mental state of the narrator of Edger Allan Poe’s short story “The Black Cat” is a broad area to analyze. The human mind is one of the most articulate system that is made in this world. It’s difficult to understand everybody’s actions and doings because everyone possesses their own unique patterns of thinking. Today, the world of psychology is hard at work to try to figure out the best answers to the questions we have about the mid. Even before the subject of psychology was produced, some writers loosely described the psychology and everything that goes into it. Edger Allan Poe was one of them who portrayed his characters in way that the reader could look further in to their actions and their behaviors to understand the mind better. Poe seemed to have an understanding and fascination for the human, and “The Black Cat” is one of them. The protagonist of the story and his psychology has brought into light in this short story. In this work, Edgar Allan Poe presents the main character, the protagonist, who becomes victim to many complex mind issues such as guilt, perversity, superstitions, revenge, and reverse psychology.

The Cat in The Hat was a children’s book written and creatively illustrated by Theodor Geisel under the pen name Dr. Suess. It was first published in 1957 and has since made a deep impression in the hearts of children and adults alike. The story centers around an eccentric anthropomorphic cat that comes in to the house of two children while the adults are away, attempting to entertain them while they are stuck at home on a rainy day. The element of fantasy that was implemented throughout the story, which includes a talking pet goldfish and a talking cat that performs all sorts of tricks, became an immediate success and was praised as an exciting
