The bluest eye excerpt#2(characters)
What does Sigmund Freud’s theory of the ID, ego, and superego have in comparison with Toni Morrison’s “The Bluest Eye”? I believe that characters from the second excerpt we read can each be compared with the ID, ego, or superego. Claudia would be the ID, her peers that adore Maureen are the ego, and Claudia is also the superego. Here are a couple of details to support my thesis.
Claudia being the ID is comparing Freud’s theory with Morrison’s writing first of all because she is doing what fits her. Her ID is telling her to be jealous of Maureen, who was the new girl. She gave in to this demand very easily in my opinion because she immediately started to try and find something wrong with Maureen.
Freud’s theory is further more comparable to this specific part of the story by Claudia’s peers being the superego. They weren’t really mentioned but you can compare them to the superego because they didn’t do things to Maureen that they did to other classmates. They wouldn’t let Claudia do anything to the new girl because they adored her so much.
Last but not least, Freud’s theory and this particular excerpt from “The Bluest Eye” have something in common by Claudia not only being the ID, but the ego also. This is so
because she knew her limits. She knew things would go totally wrong if she messed with Maureen. So since she couldn’t be Maureen’s enemy, she considered being her friend.
In conclusion, There are three things that Sigmund Freud’s (a famous psychologist) theory of the ID, ego, and superego, and an excerpt from Toni Morrison’s (a famous author) the bluest eye have in common. They are that Claudia is indeed the ID and also the ego, and her peers are the superego. Now that you have seen my thesis, what’s yours?

Graduation of 2011
” Congratulations class of 2011, you have made it to the next level!” Those are the words I am going to here when I, Labriah Morgan graduate. I know what you’re thinking, “why does she think she’s going to graduate?” Well I don’t think I’m going to graduate, I know I’m going to graduate. Here are three specific reasons why. I’m graduating because I’m intelligent, I’ think of my parents while I’m in school, and I REFUSE to be another statistic. Here are some details to support my reasons.
I would say I am a very intelligent individual firstly because I earn good grades. I haven’t had not one bad grade since kindergarten. I also complete all of the schoolwork given to me. I haven’t missed one assignment unless I was absent I am further more intelligent because I was accepted to this college prep school. To get accepted I must have been a very bright student.
Another reason I’m graduating is because I think of my parents during the hours of the school day. This is so because everything I do in school reflects my parents. So if I show unacceptable behavior then that shows that my parents aren’t doing such a good job with raising me. I also think of their proud faces and what they expect from me, because then I know exactly what I have to do.
I more over engage that I’m going to graduate because I REFUSE to be another statistic. The statistics for students who don’t graduate are seven out of ten. I will be a part of the three that do graduate. That statistic is worst for African American students, so that means that I have to be the best I can be and then some.
In conclusion I will be receiving a high school diploma in June, 2011 because I am a very bright student, I am my parents, and I refuse to be the seven out of ten students who don’ go on to college. Know that we know were I’m going to be in four years, How about you?
Dear Mr. Romero,
I have chosen the essay above for a few reasons. One reason is that I think the hook is the best one I’ve written all year. I really put a lot of thought into this particular hook. I also like my usage of “so what”. I thought the whole “how about you” thing would leave the reader speechless. Another thing I thought was spectacular about this essay was the transitions. I used one for every yellow sentence finally. It’s obvious that you will feel the same way.
Thank you, Labriah Morgan

Freud/cat in the hat
Freud has the name of the father of physiology. He is the discoverer of the ID, Ego, and Superego. The cat in the hat is a perfect example of this theory. The xcat is the ID, the fish is the Ego and the children are the Superego.
The cat is the ID first of all because he is doing what he wants when he wants. He is also trying to get the children to do the same. You can tell he is doing what he wants because the thing that he does has no order. One thing he does is play games. The games he plays involves juggling the fish with dishes. He also has “things” that destroy the house.
The fish is the ego because he tries to tell the children the right thing to do. He was basically an angel in which some people would call a “sissy”. He made sure he tried to do the right things. He even told the children to get the cat out of the house.
The children are considered the superego because they basically neutralized the situation. They were smack dab in the middle. The children eventually solved the problem by kicking the cat out. The cat had part in this, believe it or not, when he came back to the house to clean up his mess.
In conclusion the cat in the hat is the perfect example of Freud’s theory. In other words if I were to re-name the characters of the story there would be a cat named ID, a fish named ego, and two children named super and ego.

MY PHILOSOPHY ON GOVERNMENT2
My second philosophy on government is that the constitution has a lot to do with solving crisis. The constitution had a part in nine_eleven when article 2 scection 2 said that if a country fires arms against us then we have the right to go to war and that's exactly wha happened. Also in the i_deal society we were looking at the constitution a lot to solve that particular conflict

my philosophy on government
my philosophy on government is that it's very important. In my opinion ther's one form that it is very necessary. That form is the democratic form of government. That way there are enough rules enforced, but also enough freedom given to each citizen.
cause and benifits of security in our digital world
In the schools today myspace is block from usage and facebook isn't. my philisophical point of veiw is that myspace has some things that facebook doesn't. I don't know exactly what those things are but my guess is that they make sure they know were you know your friends from. so basically they are more protective than myspace. myspace doesn't care where you know your friends from.That also has to deal with privacy though. facebook doesn't give you that much apperently if they want to know who your friends are and how you know them.
