  • Fritz The Cat Analysis

    914 Words  | 4 Pages

    Fritz the Cat (1972) is a film about the 60s. Being the first animated feature to receive an X rating, Fritz the Cat attempts to unveil all the violence, sex, racism, and disillusionment of the 1960s through an unfiltered, and debatably unfocused, lens. Ralph Bakshi is the director behind this film, and he aimed to show that the 60s was not a very perfect era, but in fact quite hypocritical one. Fritz the Cat and the numerous people that surround him are, for the most part, confused souls with often ill-informed ideas about the world around them, and this is present right near the beginning of the film.

  • What Are The Effects Of The Great Cat Massacre

    1086 Words  | 5 Pages

    Robert Darnton’s Great Cat Massacre took place in the 1730s, and shows the angst the local journeymen had against the social system they lived in. The cat massacre was awful in its own right, but represented the disenfranchisement between the journeymen and the entrenched masters. The Cat Massacre was a sign of the changing times as the guild system of the late medieval and early, Early Modern Period when the journeymen would advance to become their own master was replaced with a monopoly system where few a masters were in control and most journeymen had no hope of advancement in society. In the Medieval period and part of the Early Modern period, workers in a trade would enter a guild as an apprentice, rise to journeymen, and finally to master to start their own workshop.

  • Analysis Of Bilger's Essay 'The Last Meow'

    Pet owners say that they will take care of their pets no matter what. Bilger’s argument is that people’s love for their pets has gone too far. Although Bilger is incorrect because some people use the money to help their pets, he is primarily correct because people spend their money on stuff their pets don’t need and how some pets are forced to endure more than they have to. I concede that bilger is wrong because In “The Last Meow” the Leverings were willing to spend 15,000 dollars on their cat Lady to help her. Shawn Levering said “If Lady comes through this thing alive, I won’t think about it twice.”

  • Adlai Stevenson's Cat Bill

    424 Words  | 2 Pages

    Adlai Stevenson, in his veto of the “Cat Bill” (1949), argues that using the legislative power of the state of Illinois Senate to pass the bill is folly because it “could only create discord, recrimination[,] and enmity.” He supports his argument by incorporating potent sarcastic diction, jocular anecdotal evidence, and the intentional use of a slippery slope fallacy to bolster his argument. Stevenson’s purpose is to convey the absurdity of the bill in order to convince the Legislature not to override his veto. He adopts a tone of false seriousness (“It would impose fines….It would permit any person….It would permit the use of traps. This bill would have statewide implications”) for his audience of the Illinois state legislative body.
