The Cat in the Hat

The essay you're about to read is one of my best. The essay is about the Cat in the Hat, and examples of the Id, Ego, and Superego. The reason I picked it is I have very good details. Each paragraph has at least two or three details. I have good sentence structure in my essay. There are like, two errors at the most. They aren’t even distracting, they were simple little grammar mistakes that the computer caught. So, I hope you like those parts of my essay a much as I do.

Cat in the Hat
The Id, Ego, and Super Ego, are a part of everyone’s life. They are a part of your mind. The Id is your basic wants. In this situation it is the devil on your shoulder. The Superego is the angel on your shoulder. It is other people’s wants’, the right thing to do. The Ego is you. The one who makes the decisions. The Cat in the Hat is a perfect example of the Id, Ego, and Superego.

The first part of the mind I will talk about is the Id. This is your basic wants’. It’s the devil on your shoulder that’s tells you what you want. The Cat is the perfect example. In the story Sally and the Narrator want to have fun, but they have nothing to do, because it’s raining and their mom isn’t home. Then the Cat shows up. He tells them its fine and nothing will go wring. So, they start playing up, up, up with the fish. He starts juggling stuff and dropping it, wrecking the house.

Another part of the mind I will talk about is the Superego. The Ego is other people’s wants. It’s the angel on the shoulder. The fish is the Ego in this story. The fish wants Sally and the Narrator to stop playing and be good. When the Cat brings out Thing 1 and 2 they start flying kites in the house. The fish tell the to stop because they were messing everything up, but they didn’t. Then the fish sees the mom is on her way home, the house is a mess, that’s when Sally and the Narrator think they should have listened to the fish.

The last part of the brain I will talk about is the Ego. This is you. The one in the middle, who makes the decision. In the Cat in the Hat, Sally and the Narrator are the Superego; they are the ones who have to make the decision. They have to choose, have fun and get in trouble, or be good and have no fun. They choose to have fun a first. But at the end the Narrator chooses to be good when he captures Thing1 and 2 and yells at the Cat to leave.

As you can see the Cat in the Hat is a perfect example of the Id, Ego and Superego. The Cat is the Id or devil. The fish is the Superego or angel. Finally, Sally and the Narrator are the Ego.
