The Monkey's Paw

To wish the things you need to have.
Nothing

I think, the reason why did the fakir put a spell or curse on the paw was that he wanted to show and let the people know that they should not mess with fate. We used to know that people are greedy and selfish. Sometimes, people are tempted to any material and earthly things and with that, they used to grab the opportunity or even misuse it in order to satisfy their desire. For me, it is not right to desire any of those things for it will just lose and we cannot bring it to the next life. The real intention of the fakir was that a person should think first of what he or she want to wish and think wisely whether are there persons who ill be involved by these. Lastly, the best thing to do is to be contented of what you have and just be happy of it for the true happiness is that you live healthy and you are still alive.

that's all, i hope it help a lot.... by: jl

grants three wishes.

The White Family wish for 200 pounds but in order for them to receive the money, ironically, the son has to die.

which one?

the first he didnt really believe it would work, so why not, he might get the money

the second he didnt think about the concequences thoroughly and his wife pressured him to

the third was for their safety, and because the son would have been scary

1. money 2. his son alive again
3. we don't know - but assume it's for his son's zombie to disappear

The Monkey's paw was found one day by a man and a group of friends, and he is allowed three wishes. An old retired army man knew it was cursed and pointless, and insisted the man throw it in the fire to burn it so no one would feel its wrath again, but he, being greedy, ignores the old army man.

His first wish is for 200 pounds. A day later, the man's son is killed by some machinery at his work, and he receives 200 pounds compensation. (Pounds is the form of money in the UK, where this story took place).

The second wish is to make his son alive again. That night, the son climbs out of his grave and knocks on the door wanting to be let in to his parents' house.

The third wish is completely out of fear. The man is so afraid of what his undead son will look like that he wishes his son back to the grave he arose from. A sudden stop in the knocking prompts them to open the door, and there is no one there.

Summary: Although the man had wished for fortune, it was at the cost of another life. He threw the paw of the dead monkey (the Monkey's Paw) into the fire, to be burned and never be used again.

those are the EXACT stories i have in my exam:s but i dont have a plot diagram

The legend of theMonkey's Paw states that it is a cursed paw of a dead monkey and whomever finds it is granted three wishes. But, in order to teach people not to interfere with fate, it twists around the wishes in a way that only causes it's finder(s) pain and sorrow.

3rd person limited is the point of view in the Monkey's Paw.

I remember that from when I was a little kid. When she asked to have her soon come back, he came back alright, but not exactly a human form. Remember the bloodly claw marks on the door? that was the son. If she'd let im in, I don't think that he would of exactly hugged her. He was probably something like a zombie.
