The Cat in The Hat

The cat in The Cat in the Hat enjoys to be accompanied by anyone or anything that he finds to be entertaining. His character contributes to the plot and theme of the work through his non-stop imagination and how his character effects the reactions of the characters around him. The cat finds almost anything enjoyable whether the place will be damage to ignoring advice from a fish that has a sense of duty.

There’s no limit to the fun when the cat unleashes himself to bring out his fun whether it’ll be messy or neat. The character of the cat is what brought the story alive past beyond the wildest dreams; he’s the sound maker at a party who turns a boring day into something. The way he talks and thinks is what kept the kids moving into curiosity going from one adventure onto the next; this lead to the mysterious box that would start the journey of fun to responsibility then to lesson learn. The cat in the hat is a cat that enjoys playing around and having some fun, to be let loose and not worry so much about the responsibility at the moment but yet have a point to make after having fun. His personality doesn’t include much thinking instead he’s a spontaneous cat who likes to do things right out of the moment and not think about the consequences of the actions at the moment but to enjoy what will make the day not a boring day. He’s the center of attention and doesn’t hesitate to have any kind of fun.

The actions of the cat are consistently moving and he enjoys the moment. He wears a hat that most people would not consider to put on their cat; something tall, black and white, and a red bow tie that finishes off with white gloves and a pair of black shoes. He’s a cat that shows character with effects on others such as the fish. The fish has a sense of duty and doesn’t like the way the cat messes up the place but when the cat finish cleaning the room, the fish is shown to be satisfied; this tells the audience that the effect of the cat’s character can influence the character of another. What looks the cat gives shows a significant amount of emotion that the audience can know.

At the end of the story, his face expression changes when he’s asked to leave. His happy smile that shows he’s enjoying himself turns to a frown when he’s asked to leave with slumped shoulders that show his sad face.

The description of the cat shows the significance of a cat that’s not ordinary but decorated with things that usually humans would wear; this supports the idea that the cat enjoys to be entertained and have company.

The kids in Persepolis were still trying to look hip, even though it was against the rule. But despit it all, they took the risk. They would just wear the hipped outfits anyways; some would wear and rebel against the ones that forbid them to wear it. Marji would wear them, careless of what others would say. If I was a child in this kind of environment, I wouldn’t know what to do. I of course wouldn’t do anything to stand up for it because I don’t have much of the confidence to stand up for myself. All I could do is hope that things will get better. Some acts that I do to rebel when I was a teen, there were a lot. I rebel against my parents many times. When my cousins had a night party late at night, and it wasn’t right for a girl to go out late at night, I didn’t care and left with my older brother to my cousins’ house. My parents would get mad and tell me over and over that it is not good for a female to go out, late at night. But I still didn’t care and still went every time there was a late night party. Also at school, I rebel against the rules. No electronics, I never listen. I also bring it to class. Haha! I’m asked to so this, not listening, I don’t do it. Satrapi I would say is just like us. Satrapi has comedy like us. We do and say things that are funny, just like Satrapi with her book Persepolis. Satrapi is no different than us. She’s just like every one of us.
Marji’s family is different from others. They stand up for what they believe in and are proud of the things they do. They are a tough family who won’t let anyone look down on them. They believe in their own children and teach their Marji well. The thing that is most important to Marji’s parents is the freedom they have. Marji’s parents wants to have freedom and they fight for there freedom. Marji’s parents try to create the best environment for Marji as best as they could. They encourage Marji to never give up and to always be true to herself. They give Marji freedom, though the countries they live in don’t allow them much freedom. The strength they have comes from the life they have been living in. They take there experience and learn from it and try to stay as strong as they could.
The role for the women is that they are to wear the veil and have less of freedom. Women don’t have much freedom and are force to do things they don’t wish to do. Marji, her mother, and her grandmother play a role that is different from the other women. They fight for what is right and treat each one of there family member equally. Marji’s school teachers are to teach the kids to exactly what is to the government. The maid is a lower class that is to clean the rich people’s houses and chores. I think to myself of our role. We are to cook, clean, and be home most of the time. But then sometimes we don’t do the role that we are suppose to do.
