The Monkey's Paw

Both "The Monkey's Paw" and "Lamb to the Slaughter" involve unexpected twists in the plot, but while the former delves into themes of fate and supernatural consequences, the latter focuses on the lengths one might go to protect oneself. In terms of characters, both stories feature ordinary individuals driven to extreme actions, yet the tone in "The Monkey's Paw" is more ominous and foreboding compared to the dark humor present in "Lamb to the Slaughter." Finally, the endings of the two stories differ greatly, with "The Monkey's Paw" leaving the reader with a sense of fear and unease, while "Lamb to the Slaughter" ends on a surprising and slightly comical note.

The mood in "The Monkey's Paw" is dark and foreboding, with a sense of eerie suspense and impending doom. The story creates a feeling of tension and unease as the consequences of the paw's wishes unfold.

The conflict, as far as I'm concerned, is that the monkey's paw inflicted a "curse" for every wish you made. The money came with the price of the son"s life or something, bringing the son back to life made him a zombie or something like that.

Lysandra is viewed as strange by her classmates. But then in 7th grade, an opprotunity to change arises in form of a poetry contest. Both she and her best friend enter, and while she writes about life, her best friend writes what she knows will please the judges. When her best friend (Elaine) wins, Lysandra is crushed. She stops speaking to Elaine, and she stops writing.

Four years later, Elaine barely notices Lysandra. She had moved on, but Lysandra hadn't. Elaine was infatuated by a guy, his name was Brett. (He was a bit of a player...) She went out with him for a while. There was a dance, and Brett asked her to go with him. She had to work until 9:00 the night of the dance, so she told him she'd meet him there. But when she got there, she saw Brett and Lysandra dancing a slow dance together. Her heart was broken.

When Brett and Lysandra stopped dancing, he at least had the decency to go find Elaine and dance with her for the remainder of the evening, but something had changed, and they both knew it. The next day, Brett broke up with her, without giving a reason.

He followed Lysandra around all spring, until the day after the formal graduation dance, when she told him she was tired of him and they broke up. Lysandra knew that she had been successful with her revenge, and she began to write again. And Brett? He moved away in the fall of that year, because his dad didn't like the climate or something.

Twenty years later, there was a class reunion. Brett came back for it. He was stout, balding, and married. Lysandra didn't attend.

Lysandra's dream of being a writer did come true, and she published 7 volumes and won 2 national awards. But her writing showed that she had not yet let go of the past. She wrote dark, bitter poetry that left the mind reeling with the blackness of the images it portrayed.
