Daniel [21]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Sergeant-Major Morris fears for the curiosity and human greed displayed by the White family, in addition to fearing for what may happen to their next owner.

Explanation:

The book "The monkey's paw" is a novel of the genre of horror literature, published in 1902, it tells how Sergeant-Major Morris gets a stuffed monkey leg that was haunted and fulfills 3 wishes to 3 different owners, and that its current owner's wishes are fulfilled but in a counterproductive way.

The White family shows some interest in buying the monkey paw, but Sergeant Morris does not want to sell the monkey paw because he fears what may happen to its next owner due to a desire for a fast path to a life of tranquility and luxury.

Answer:

No, you will face criticism, judgement, and backlash.

Explanation:

For example, in Thus Spoke Zarathustra by Fredrick Nietzche, Zarathustra descends from the cave after ten years of isolation to give his newfound enlightenment to the people. He tells them that the Earth's meaning is the overman or Ubermensch (one willing to risk all to enhance humanity). The overman is free from all the prejudices and moralities of human society and creates his conditions and purpose. The people rejected him, laughed at him, and, overall, the message went over their heads. They wish to continue their life of mundane mediocrisy. He chooses not to persuade the crowd, but rather to speak to those interested in separating themselves from the herd.

As you can see, the people rejected a new idea. This is a universal concept dating to stories of prophets preaching their book to people.

The overman is one who can endure the backlash from society and persist in his truth.

Stay safe (:

Questions like this are difficult to answer without more context, although there are some clues about the symbolism in this brief excerpt. You can read the whole short story here: http://images.pcmac.org/SiSFiles/Schools/AL/MobileCounty/TheodoreHigh/Uploads/Forms/Reading_Packet_with_Text_-_The_Rockpile_by_James_Baldwin_-_20150323.pdf

In the story, boys are always getting hurt. Some boys are afraid to play there because it is dangerous. The provided passage also talks about fighting and danger. If this were my assignment, I would choose C) It shows its dangers.
