Cat in the Hat is Vietnam

As I continue my surveying, I have decided to enlighten a misconception that relates to politics in general. That misconception is in the form of The Cat in the Hat as people believe it is simply a children's book. However, this is largely a mistake as books that were written directly by Dr. Seuss had hidden meanings. Within this book, the hidden meaning lies in the cat that invades the children's home. Firstly, he wears a hat similar to Uncle Sam causing a correlation. He also goes and messes with the children's house even though he is often told that he should not be doing what he was doing just like the United States interaction in Vietnam was a largely negative aspect of the war because people did not believe that Vietnam should have been dealt with by the United States. Even outside of politics there is in fact political misconceptions within other forms of media.
