Explain whatever you know about the story The monkeys paw ?

English
1 answer:
lora16 [44]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

There are three wishes made with the paw while there are also consequence for the wish.

The first wish, is when the Whites did not really believe in the paw, and thought it was a joke, so Mr. White wished 200 pounds. They did got the money afterwards, but their son, Herbert, got mangled in some machine and died, and so they received 200 pounds as a compensation.

The second wish is Mrs. Whites wants Herbert to live again. We should assume that he did got "alive" since in the story someone was knocking fiercely after the wish. However, we need to remember, Herbert died from machine mangling, which means his whole body is basically break in corpse. So the compensation is Herbert's corpse got "alive".

The third wish is Mr.White wished Herbert dead. However, this is not told in the story but it is foreshadowed because after his wish, the knocking goes away.

How would you describe Elie Wiesel to someone who had never met him? (Night Book)
Natalka [10]
Eliezer is more than just a traditional protagonist; his direct experience is the entire substance of Night. He tells his story in a highly subjective, first-person, autobiographical voice, and, as a result, we get an intimate, personal account of the Holocaust through direct descriptive language

What does the metaphor " He tried to help but his legs were like rubber" means?
Novosadov [1.4K]
When comparing the man's legs to rubber in context, it sounds like he is unable to walk. Describing his legs as rubber would indicate they bent and bowed under his weight on them. He's probably either injured or lame.

Erin is writing about the history of sonnets. Which is a fact Erin can include in her history?
vova2212 [387]
<span>A fact that Erin could be use might be one relating the very beginnings of the sonnet - this would of course be relating more specifically to the Italian Sonnet. The Sonnet originally came from Italy, which is obvious from the fact that the term sonnet comes from the italian sonetto - meaning little poem.</span>
