Quote #1
And I said, "Will this ever
Come off! I don't think!" (71-72)
The narrator already wants to give up—from the moment he sees that dratted ring in the tub. Talk about throwing in the towel early. But the Cat in the Hat knows that's not the answer.
Quote #2
No spots are too hard
For a Hat Cat like me! (130-131)
The Cat is totally taking responsibility for his actions and making sure that he solves the problem. He's also got some serious self-confidence. How's that for a role model? (Note: we do not condone possibly-communist Cats as role models.)
