The introduction and the history of the talisman is the initial rising action in the W. W. Jacobs short story, "The Monkey's Paw." The Whites inherit the paw from their acquaintance, Sergeant-Major Morris, who reveals the mysterious past of the shriveled hand. When he throws it into the fireplace, Mr. White retrieves it. Morris warns them to wish wisely before leaving for the night.
The rising action continues as Mr. White makes his first wish.
"I wish for two hundred pounds," said the old man distinctly.
Mr. White feels the paw move, and a depressing feeling of uneasiness falls upon the family for the remainder of the night. The next morning, Mr. and Mrs. White are paid a visit from the company where their son, Herbert, works. He has been killed in a grisly accident--"caught in the machinery"--and the Whites are offered a compensation of 200 pounds. Although it could be argued that this is the climax to the story, the action actually continues to rise a bit longer as the Whites exercise their second wish--for Herbert to be alive again. The rising action peaks when the Whites realize that their less-than-specific wish has an alternate possibility--that Herbert may be revived but in his deathly, crippled state.
Answer:
A line imitating the meter of the example would be:
on my skin / drops of rain / on my mind / just one name
Explanation:
The anapestic tetrameter consists of 4 anapestic metrical feet. One anapestic foot consists of two unstressed syllables followed by a stressed one. In a way, this type of foot can be seen as a dactyl, but reversed. The line provided in the attachment follows this type of foot, and the question asks us to come up with a similar one ourselves. One possibility is given below. The stressed syllable is the one in bold:
on my skin / drops of rain / on my mind / just one name
