The Cat In The Hat Stylistic Analysis

After carefully analyzing the tale "Catskin" I found that the story is more complex than I could have predicted at first. Although the intended moral looks straightforward and supported by the narration, I found examples of how Catskin behaves differently from the blameless heroine that one would expect from a fairy tale 's princess: she is the perpetrator of a fraud, she behaves like a predator only waiting for the right occasion to strike and, finally, she craves to have her social prominence recognized. The moral of the story, which initially seemed to be about intrinsic virtues eventually granting a happily ever-after, fails when the overall conduct of Catskin is considered. However, the most controversial part of "Catskin" seems to be that the story actually presents a moral. The importance of the three beautiful gowns in the recognition of the protagonist 's beauty and the eventual father-daughter reunion after such a long time since Catskin 's son was born, prove how important facades are in the tail.

Foreshadowing was used in Of Mice and Men to present the theme of weakness. For example, in a conversation between Lennie and George, Lennie states, “‘Jus ' wanted to feel that girl 's dress- jus ' wanted to feel that girl 's dress- jus ' wanted to pet it like it was a mouse-’” (Steinbeck 11). This event was used to suggest that Lennie would end up doing something like he did in Weed again in Soledad, California. Lennie’s childlike demeanor is what gets him in the most trouble. Due to this he does what he wants without thinking about the consequences.

This is why the actions of the cat does not work. The cat could represent killing, but in the story the cat is only giving affection and fear to the narrator. The narrator is the one who decides to turn those feelings into hatred and anger towards his pets and wife. In “The Black Cat” Poe uses foreshadowing and symbolism to show the characters actions. The cat represents the actions of the characters because it's what causes the characters to do what they did.

Like Montresor, the Narrator is a character who dove head first into insanity. A series of unfortunate events caused him to lose his mind. "In their consequences, these events terrifies, tortures, and destroys the Narrator" (Poe 522). The Narrator is married and has pets. "They have birds, gold-fish, a fine dog, rabbits, a small monkey, and a cat" (Poe 522).

The same idea is present in Poe’s writing as the narrator gives in to his own perverseness. In this section of the story, the narrator thus far has stabbed out the eye of his beloved cat, Pluto. The narrator continues, saying, “Who has not, a hundred times, found himself committing a vile or silly action, for no other reason than because he knows he should not?” (Poe, 2) Here, the narrator is trying to justify what he has done to his cat, while also pointing out his own tendency as a human to do what is wrong just because he knows it to be wrong. This challenges the reader to think of their own human nature, which has most likely taken over their responses to

As readers, we begin to question if the narrator is telling the truth or he is just hallucinating? The man could possibly be seeing a ghost of Pluto. In this sense, we can believe that the cat is real and can infer from the remorse the man is feeling that he is imagining the cat has no eye. The man thought this new cat was going to appease his

At first, Poe liked the cat, but it began reminding him more and more of the cat that he had killed. Guilt caused Poe to dream of the cat, and he felt like he was being haunted by both the cat he had killed and the cat that was still alive. Eventually, Poe started hating the new cat as well as a result of the guilt he was feeling from killing his old cat. In summary, in the story The Black Cat, guilt ended up following Poe and haunting him for what he had done to the first black cat. In the story Tell Tale Heart, guilt played a similar role with a few differences.

The womimagean in the wallpaper is representing the situation that Jane is in, trapped. In Jekyll and Hyde Louise Stevenson creates havoc for Dr. Jekyll, by showing us that Hyde is slowly taking over Dr. Jekyll. Dr. Jekyll originally created Hyde for his own enjoyment, a body in which he could “let go” his inner tensions and anger. Hyde however becomes too powerful for Dr. Jekyll to contain: “‘You are very good,’ sighed the other. ‘I should like to very much; but no, no, no, it is quite impossible; I dare not.

Have you ever done something so out of character, so odd, that you have to stop and wonder if it was undoubtedly you who did it? It could possibly mean that your grip on sanity slipped and insanity took hold. Fortunately you managed to ensnare sanity again, as some aren’t so lucky. Such examples of these ill-fated people are written about in “The Black Cat” and in “The Tell-tale Heart” by Edgar Allen Poe. As we witness their journey into the depths of insanity, the characters mannerisms morph into something abnormal.

Furthermore, the repetition of the word also shows how the speaker finds it difficult to differentiate between the looter and himself, and that his guilt has blurred the normal process of logic in him showing the internal conflict within the soldier himself. Moreover, this evokes the sense of disgust towards the situation from the audience while evoking pity towards the soldier because they also get an image that is vivid allowing them to feel how the soldier felt when he saw those blood of the looter in his hands. The persona from “Poppies” recall when she had “sellotape bandaged around [her] hand, [she] rounded up as many white cat hairs.” This image echoes with the scene at the battlefield where the son gets injured as well as the family’s domestic happiness they feel when they are

on the ship the dogs talked. Equivocado said, “maybe if we had treated the cats like equals and not like slaves, they wouldn 't have rebelled against us.” El Orador answered, “I told you so, we should have accepted what we were given and not have taken their things.” And that is the untold story about why cats and dogs actually hate each other, even today. The moral of this story is what comes around goes around / look before you leap. People should think about what they are doing before they do it because everything you do has a consequence. In my story the dogs were being very greedy and did not think about the cat 's feelings or anything.

Things were looking bad until luckily when they opened the bag the Cahill 'a cat ate the notes and the Holts leader raged and tried to get it out. Eventually the cat burped it up but it was all ruined so it could not be put to use. Then a conductor came to find what was going on and has confronted the Holts by telling them to show their ticket and eventually asked for the passport and told

Then, she is overcome with embarrassment for making an error that she jostles the cat free. Because of these events, their vehicle crashes and then, consequently, the family gets

While working in Weed, Lennie gets in trouble because he wants to feel a girl’s red dress. The scared girl screams and the confused and panicked Lennie does not know any better and holds on until George is able to knock enough sense into him to let go. After this event Lennie forgets what previously transpired and where he and George are going. Forgetfulness becomes another of Lennie’s known mental deficits. The next horrible act Lennie commits is caused by his fantasies of rabbits which lead to a fight between him and Curley that ends with Curley’s hand being completely crushed by Lennie’s out of control strength.

Pluto showed his owner was unreliable and dangerous because he would switch from loving animals to hurting them. After he killed Pluto he found love for a cat that did not exist but brought home and cared for it. After a while the cat starts to enrage Poe’s character again and tries to kill it, but ends up
