This question is about "The Monkey’s Paw"
Answer:
To emphasize the mystical power of the rabbit's paw, as there are many legends about animals and mysticism in India.
Explanation:
India is a land with many legends and many stories involving mysticism and animals. This was built mainly due to the cultural and religious characteristics of India that ended up creating a stereotype about the "magical" objects that are created there. Thus, when the author places the Whites visitor as a military man who was in India and brought with him a magical object, the author imposes credibility on that object and on the visitor's words.

"Conforming", in the sense of forming the leadership for a new age.
Yes, conforming is a necessary, but not sufficient requirement for a poem:
"its fitting in is a test of its value–a test,"

There is no way that new poems be as bad as old poems, or their canons.
"certainly not judged by the canons of dead critics."</span>
