How is sudden storm at sea like a virus? Use the word homeostasis in your explanation.

Homeostasis describes an equilibrium that has been achieved in a specific system. Under the assumption that the water was relatively calm beforehand, the sudden storm disrupts the specific system sending it out of equilibrium, with perhaps violent interactions above and below the water. A virus in a body or a computer system, interacts in such a way as to disrupt the homeostasis and cause the equilibrium to be disrupted, for a computer system this could be failure to boot or exposure to critical information. For a body, this obviously can set off a chain of events that disrupt the internal equilibrium that lead to physical manifestations like a fever, chills, slow or rapid heart beat, vomiting and other symptoms. Both the virus and the sudden storm create violent and/or unusual reactions within those systems, that are contrary with the concept of homeostasis.

Which event in the story initiates the rising action? in the monkey paws
masya89 [10]

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.
