Which event in the story initiates the rising action? in the monkey paws

English

masya89 [10]2 years ago
8 0

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.

Walt tells Thao towards the end of the movie that “I finish things. That’s what I do”. Talk about the importance of this stateme
aliina [53]

This statement is very important for the movie plot. Walt is tells a war story from the time he fought in Corea. He is also talking about knowing something is risky and doing it anyway. He talks about finishing the things you start. He claims he has blood in his hands and it's better for Thao to keep himself out of what's about to happen. Walt knows he is in great danger and tries to protect Thao. He then confronts the gang and is killed in coldblood in the middle of the street while he pretends to draw a gun from his jacket.

Then you should say something about yourself and your relationship to this subject. Fear, commitment, protection. You could also say something about facing problems with different angles or doing things not the way you are expected to.
