Choose Your Own Short Story

Close-ended question: Why was the cat important?

Because it showed love and compassion towards the narrator even when nothing else would. It was a mediator throughout a long period and made settling a more attainable task.

Open-ended question: Why was the cat named Pluto?

Because of the drastic similarities that were found between the cat and the planet. Although it could be debated that Pluto got his name as a possible sign that shows just how much of an impact he has and how significant his role truly is.

World-Connection Question: Would Pluto have had as much of an impact upon the narrator if they were living in today's society?

Yes, because there was more than anything built up rage that was just seeming out to lung and kill the cat. No matter if you have a hatred or anger problem, the consequences will anyways be the same in the end.

Universal theme question: One could say that The Narrator "Let what he loved destroy him". Do you agree with this?

I both agree and disagree, because he did once have a love for Pluto but at the moment that he let it finally get to him and to make a calamity out of it, it was more of a disgust than anything else. So, the love that could be considered the destructive factor was merely molded into something that would eventually implode onto itself and result in a horrific ending,

Literary Analysis Question: Are the feelings and Emotions that we are told distorted?

Yes, because it would seem that the narrator is suffering from and anger management problem or something a similar sort. Due to that it is clear that the emotions that we are being subjected to are ones that are urged out by his mind going into an autopilot like state and feeding what hes always known,
