Based on the following observations, the owner of these artifacts is a football Cat, a guitar Cat, and a wealthy, smart, conservative Cat. Our Cat included four items: a 9th grade football game film DVD, a basic scientific calculator, a guitar pick, and a Chick-Fil-A gift card. In regards to the 9th grade football game film DVD, it can tell us a lot about the subject. Boldly displayed, the name of the school resides on the cover. Westminster, a Christian-based elite coed school in Atlanta, GA welcomes students of all kinds every year, for the steep tuition (per year) of $28,000. The school permits financial aid to 15% of students, meaning our Cat most likely does not receive any aid, exhibiting the sheer wealthiness of our Cat. Westminster also ranks …show more content…

Also, the sheer firmness of the material conveys the often use of the pick. Due to the firmness, the player must be very active with his pick in order to scratch it. Next, the Cat brought in a calculator. The calculator is a TI-30xIIs, a cheap scientific calculator. Because of the beat up condition, one can assume that the Cat does not treat it with care. Unlike a guitar pick, one does not perform an action with a calculator besides tapping the keys, so the calculator must not be very important to the Cat. This leads the historian to believe that it must not be in often use, perhaps due to the high IQ already established. Lastly, the Cat provided a Chick-Fil-A gift card. Run by Dan Cathy, a right wing businessman opposed to same sex marriage, this restaurant is for carnivorous eaters, and due to comments made by Cathy, one can assume that conservative people make up most of their consumer demographic. Based on these four items: Chick Fil A gift card, a calculator, a football DVD, and a guitar pick, a historian could assume that this Cat is a wealthy, smart, conservative football-playing, musical

When Soto says, “With a meow Like a rusty latch On a gate” he compares the weak cat’s “meow” to a rusty latch on a gate. The cat is weak, abandoned, so when the cat “meows” it sounds a bit like an old, rusty latch being opened after a long time. Also hearing a rusty latch to a gate being opened sounds like nails on a chalkboard which is an awful, obnoxious sound. The cat 's “meow” could also necessarily be obnoxious, and can sound like nails on a chalkboard. The cat’s meow was weak because he was basically homeless until found by the boy.

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.
