Idiom

the rising action to the monkey's paw is everything that has happened before the climax.

The conflict is reslved in using three wishes?

200 pounds for pay dome debt

nancy :)

the wishes are first 200 pounds and the second is for his son to return to him after his death and the last is for Herbert to return to the grave after they wish for him return......... i hope i answered your question

1. The opening line "without, a cold and wet night" A dreary night may mean something bad will happen.

2. Mr. Morris explains to Mr. White that the last man's 3rd wish was for death so that means the wishes Mr. White will take may be bad.

3. When the father is playing chess against Herbert The father shows by his moves that he is a careless risk-taker. That means he may take some careless risks later on in the story.

it allows your wishes to come true but not how you wanted them- like bringing back a zombie/rotted corpse instead of your son back to life the way he was.

wrong answer

The wishes in both stories are almost the same because both the White's family and Mr. Peters wanted a happy life. In "The Monkey's Paw" Mr. White wished for five hundred dollars to pay off their house mortgage, this way they didn't have any thing to worry about. In "The Third wish" Mr. Peter wishes for a "wife as beautiful as the forest," who can mend his socks and cook him dinner and love him forever.

Another point that is the same in both stories is the climaxes. In 'The Monkey's Paw" Mr. White after frantically searching for the paw that he dropped a while ago, undoes his second wish because he couldn't stand seeing his dead son with some of his body parts missing. In "The third wish" Mr. Peters uses his second wish to wish back his wife to being a swan because he had seen how lonely his wife was and he would notice how pale and sick his wife would get.

In addition to that another point that is the same is that Mrs. White and Leita are both unhappy after the first wish. Leita is unhappy after the first wish because she wants to be a swan again and she wants to be with her sister but she can't be because she is married to Mr. Peters and she doesn't want to make him unhappy. Mrs. White is unhappy after the first wish because when Mr. White made the first wish for five hundred dollars, the very next day, Herbert, their son got killed in a machinery at work. And as gratitude the boss gave them five hundred dollars.

YA mamama

It is a rather disturbing allegory on the ( Three wishes) or ( people always make bad choices) theme which has been used on shows as diverse as Twilight Zone and others of that type. The plot is similar to that about the Chinese Fisherman, the talking fish, and three wishes. It could be argued as a lesson against democracy ( people will make bad choices) and possibly anti-gambling though gambling does not figure in the plot at all. ( unlike Titanic) so it goes. No Like Monkey Paw.

From memory: Anticipation was built up in the reader's imagination.

the rising action to the monkey's paw is everything that has happened before the climax.

The antagonist in the monkey's paw is the monkey's paw. An antagonist does not always have to be a character it can be the "force" in conflict with the protagonist.
