CAT IN THE HAT

In the book Cat in the Hat, the Cat in the hat plays as the id, but if you think about it the cat in the hat also plays as the superego. The cat wants the two kids to have fun but while at he is causing trouble in the house which here come the fish. The fish is the character that says he does not want the cat in the hat to be at their house. The fish plays as superego. Why because he is doing a god the not wanting a stranger to be in the house but at the same at time he is mainly thinking about himself even though it makes him look like he wants to be the protective one. The two kids are mainly neutral so you can just say they are superego as well. IN the beginning they wanted to play but it was raining, therefore they both could go outside and play. While at the same time that's when the cat in the hat came out of nowhere and the two kids let him in without asking who he is or where he is from. In my opinion all the character in the story are superego. They all have a good and bad intension. The cat in the hat good intension was to make the kids have fun but his bad thing was making a lot of mess and causing trouble without thinking. The two kids in the beginning didn't know what to do and just let the cat in the hat do whatever while near to the end that's when the kids decided it needs to end when they have finally came to a realization. While the fish was trying to get the stranger; the cat in the hat out of the house, but mainly thinking about himself because he knew for a fact that he was only a fish. The mother as well didn't play much of a role but can say she is superego too. She left the kids to a fish to babysit them, how smart is that? And then when she return she asked them how was there day, obnoxious right? But then again it could be she knew they could take care of themselves so she entrusted them to watch the house while she was gone and that’s a good thing that she is being thoughtful. As I said all the character is superego they have a good and bad thinking system.

Persepolis Blog#2

As you all know the book called Persepolis was written as a memoir. Therefore the author can write and express everything how she feels. In this case I would say that written as a memoir is much stronger. In this memoir from the version I had read it's a comic strip, compare it to others it has a strong sense of meaning. It depends on how strong and intense you make the story sounds. It's all about how well you put your words.
The author's voice is quite appealing because she put her voice into Marji mouth. Marji is basically her other half, which I find that pretty amusing. In this case I find the author appealing. What I find similar about Marji is her attitude. Her attitude is similar to mine.
She is saying that how much time has changed from little time. How much the world can just change from such a simple years. Her family suppose to represent of her and change her from young to old. Her family resembles her changes. It's like a time line, seeing her change from one year to another.
Indeed Marji has grown from squirt to mature.

PERSEPOLIS blog#1

In Persepolis the author tries to show how life was like during the Iranian War. She tries to show how the Iranians fight for their freedom and how hard it was to live during a war. What prevents people from having their whole freedom is the society that chooses to believe less than one god. A country that likes to have a mono-religion tends to not have a fair amount of freedom. In this book Persepolis they try to follow the rules, but at the same time have fun thats against the rule. In order not to get caught the family has to have fun in secrecy. It was hard enjoying life while a war was going on, and trying to stay calm when the society is trying to give out orders and enforcing rules, having no freedom. The family tries to go on a strike, and ran away because the strike was getting pulverized by the swat group. The family had little freedom, so instead they chose to let their little girl to have freedom and good life so they had send her away to study and become an educated young lady.

The kids were still trying to look hip even under risk, they still dressed under the code but wear the hip clothes. They wear around area that can be not be shown or shown a little. I would probably try the same thing, but no. I wouldnt want to take that risk, so instead I wouldnt try to look hip. They refuse to take off their hippish clothings or accessories, and attacks the teachers. She is a young girl living with her mother and father trying to survive through the war.

The book Persepolis was telling a story of a young girl who lived through a hard time in her life with a war going on. But at the same time the story was giving a moral lesson to young readers like us. Some of the morals were not to try to grow up so soon. Never do unsure things youre not sure about. This book suggests us readers to be wise with our lives and not waste it. Some of the stories in Persepolis told by Satrapi relatives were stories that could influence others. Their stories made Satrapi proud of them. They were her role models, her inspirations. Stories can come from many different kind of background, and still make young readers think about their life and reflect on it. The stories with a moral always catch young readers attentions unknowingly.

FEED PROJECT



The feed contains almost anything a person can ever think of. The feed is our link to everyone. Our feed is our net, our life, it's our everything. The feed defines our Americans society in the future. Technology will get out of hand and will turn humans into androids... Feed is consumerism; feed will make us consume life. It's a bad thing to consume too much but at the same time it's not so bad. One Consuming is part of nature, and two consuming is what will kill society. This technology can impact of traditions of some culture and may give different perspective. The feed too could perhaps change the way of the traditions. The feed does not define me at all; instead it defines the world of technology. The moral to the story could be that we humans or fellow Americans should abuse the technology that has been made. The technology will in the end consume us and take over man kind as speaking. People are something regardless of having the feed or not having it. The feed does not define who we humans are. The feed is what is going to turn us into. Titus doesn't seem to care all about the feed as much anymore...He just ends up messing with it. And when it says "Everything must go...” It means, forgetting everything, letting all that has past go. That's what it means, "Everything must go".

FUTURISM SAYS

In all these picture below represents how the future can be like. The theme I would categorize this would probably fall under Future Tech. /Consumerism. Why, In the near future the world advances and is it possible that the future would look like the pictures I posted or will they look different. The food and animal and everything we do are considering consumerism. Caged animal is consumerism; ironically yes I think it is. Because we use animal for entertainment and that would fall as consuming, anything that is used is consuming. What I'm trying to say is what kind of a future do we humans want to see. Everyone's ideal future is a Utopia, but I don't see that. Can we humans advance technology and turn it into a good use. In my lifetime I too like to know how the near future is going to turn out like too. I'm sure everyone looks forward for the future in some point of their life. I chose these images to make people see and realize what kind of a world they want to live in. And if they want to live in that world can they turn this world into their kind of ideal world. Is advancing technology is considered and the future or is not. What made me come to theses way of thinking is the environmental I live in, and those who I grew up around with. Seeing people change and go everywhere or even sometimes get lost makes me think how do they want to live their world. Do they even think about the future? My message is just trying to get us human beings think whether would or how or even where we would like this so called Utopia to be like. So many people says and but never do it. Will we turn our future into how it looks like in the picture?

FUTURISM



Is the new future like this?



Is this going to be a portal area, in the future?



Is this what we consume everyday....



Caged animals for entertainment?



Is this Utopias peace sign?

FEED #2

"We enter a time of calamity", this quote is saying that they are in a messed up world. What it's referring to id their time of present which is far into the future. The time they are in is a time of total screw up, because they are being controlled by a mini microchip. Comparing their time to ours it's quite different, their time period is way in the future with high technology while ours is still advancing little by little.

Why would Violet's father study dead languages. Well as Violet herself said she had her feed late when she was about six or seven years old. After knowing that she had her feed late, it could perhaps mean that her family or her father prefers the old ways as in the past; traditional way. Violet herself writes with pencil, papers, and is not very used to the feed, meaning they prefer the old styles. Her father perhaps liked history and wanted to teach that in the present future so later, the society could at least know how to write and read.

The feed is described as knowing what you need before you do is this what the feed is really doing? Well technically yes, the feed is basically doing all the mind thinking and suggesting for our minds. The feed thinks for us, and prepares all information for us when we need it. The feed is basically our mind. This is what the feed is doing taking control and suggesting what is needed for us in their opinion.
