Master Cat

Afraid of his master, the cat slightly wounded the narrator on the hand with his teeth. Because of the cats reaction to his picking him up, the narrator pokes out one of the cat’s eye. The eye of the cat which is

The theme the two stories share is about growing up. In the story "Brothers are the Same" Temas had to attempt to slay a lion to prove to the Masai

Many people think it is just about a cat trying to have fun but it is not. It is about the chaos that is going on in the world around them. Dr.Seuss was known to bring situations to life in his stories and that is what he did just here. Not only does this story teach children on how to rebel against their parents and not pay attention to any of the rules it also says that to a point children should listen and have certain traditions with in their family.

In “The Black Cat”, the narrator starts the story out by saying that basically he is not insane, but he will be put to death. In the beginning paragraph of “The Tell-Tale Heart”, he then also explains that he is not crazy either. As you can see here, these introductions are very similar, due to the fact that they both state that they are not crazy, yet both narrators kill something, which is another similarity in these stories. The second paragraph of the two stories, they start to explain that they love something and are so fond of it. For instance, in “the Black Cat” that narrator states that he loves animals. In “The Tell-Tale Heart” this narrator states that he loves the old man. This right here shows that these two were had affection towards something, though they are different.

In the trickster tale “Coyote Steals Fire” and “MasterCat” the similarities they shared were they all had to accomplish their goals. In “Coyote Steals Fire” his goal was to beat Thunder god in a gambling game for fire. In “Master Cat” the cat wanted to steal the king’s wealth from him to help Miller’s son to be wealthy or look wealthy. “Coyote Steals Fire” was a coyote that wanted fire. “Master Cat” was a cat who wanted to be like no other cat he wanted wealth. “Coyote Steals Fire” uses anthropomorphism case he talks, walks, dresses himself, and gambles. “Master Cat” he walks on hind legs, talks, and he’s cunning. “Coyote Steals

The first difference in the two stories are the type of tricksters. In “How Stories Came to Earth” it’s a spider that is the trickster. In “Coyote Steals Fire” it’s a coyote that is the trickster. The second difference is that they both achieved their goals differently. Anansi captured a python, leopard, hornets, and a fairy to get the stories. Coyote on the other hand cheated at a game of dice with the thunder god to get the fire. The finale difference is that males and females were portrayed differently. In “How Stories Came to Earth” females were equal to men because Anansi’s wife contributed to Anansi getting the stories. In “Coyote Steals Fire” males were viewed higher than females, because the male beaver teeth were two points and the female woodchuck teeth were only one point in the game of dice that Coyote and the thunder god

One would ponder upon the narrator's consciousness that his misery would create an ability to find "joy" in having the sweet creature around again. Surprisingly, the author grows "disgusted and annoyed" by the cat's presence again, which gradually rises into "bitterness of hatred" and he looks upon the cat "with unutterable loathing" (325). The cat's excessive pertinacity of overly affectionate personality towards its master grows a repulsive reflex into the narrator such that he perceives the cat's "loathsome caress," its "odious presence" like a "breath of pestilence" rather than its loving personality and loyalty (325). "Evil thoughts bec[o]me my[his] soul intimates - the darkest and most evil of thoughts," which lead him to commit a brutal murder towards his own wife thus representing the destructive revelation of the plot (i.e., self-destruction in this particular story) (326).

There were many similarities in the trickster tales “Master cat” and “How stories came to Earth.” In both of the story’s the main characters

I am going to compare and contrast two stories I read. The stories are titled “Cat and Rat:The Legend of the Chinese Zodiacs” and “How Cats and Mice Became Enemies”. These stories are both legends. They both have many similarities and differences.

In both stories both cats got mad because the enemies also known as mice and rat got away. Also in both stories the cats and the rodents start out as best friends and ended up not

For example in “How Stories Came to Earth,” Anansi the spider and his wife both came up with plans and ideas to capture each animal. In “Master Cat,” he came up with ideas to trick the king into believing that Maquis was royal. The next similarity is that in both stories they used anthropomorphism. In the two stories the main characters were animals that were given human traits. For example in “How Stories Came to Earth,” Anansi the spider talked and had a wife who came up with the ideas of capturing the creatures.

First, I will be stating the similarities. These stories are similar because they are both legends. A legend is a traditional story people share to explain why something happened. The two animals started off as friends and end up being enemies. In both stories the cat falls asleep.

Puss in Boots or the Master Cat by Charles Perrault is a fairy-tale written in 1697 in French. It has a cat named Puss as the protagonist who saves his master by using trickery, deceit and intelligence.  The tale begins with a poor man who is given a cat by his father. The talking cat helps his master by gaining the king’s favor. First, he manages to give some rabbits and partridges to the King, saying that it is from his master. Then, by cunning, he manages to get some fine clothes for his master, and finally a castle. The king is convinced that Marquis (Puss’ master) is worthy of his daughter’s hand, and the tale ends with a wedding, and Puss living a happy life ever after. The story though consists situations, characters, and symbols that

Both stories had a wide river that the animals had to cross. Also, they both explain why cats and rats are enemies. And, the rat bribed the cat with fish in both. Some of the differences in the story were that in the first one, it was a cat and a rat, and in the second one, it was a cat and a mouse. In the second one, there was

“How Stories Came to Earth” and “Master Cat” both have several similarities. The first similarity is that they both went against power. Master Cat went against the king, and Anansi went against the sky-god. Both protagonists were animals, Anansi was a spider and Master cat was a cat.
