The type of mood that is established at the beginning of the story is dark and foreboding. this mood pretty much stays throughout the story, but fear and sadness are developed later when their son dies, and as his corpse is dragging itself up the road. There is also a sense of sadness as the father wishes the son away, using the final wish from the paw, and then burning it. Also, there is a sense of fear every time the gate creaks.

The overall mood is one of foreboding. The story begins with a warm and cozy atmosphere inside the White family home, while it’s chilly outside. Every time the son, Herbert, interacts with his parents, the mood becomes lighthearted and warm. Mr. and Mrs. White also share an affectionate relationship, which helps create the setting of a warm domestic household. However, the mood inside the house turns gloomy with the arrival of Sergeant-Major Morris, who brings a wish-granting monkey’s paw. The mood becomes more menacing each time the money’s paw is mentioned, overtaking the household’s warmth. When Mr. White wishes for his son to come back to life, the mood turns ominous.

Describe what you see, hear and feel in a very crowded street. 350 to 450 words<br>​
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

As I walk down the street I hear various car engines coming from all sorts of directions. As I make it to the crosswalk I hear several dog's barks, ranging in pitch and strength. As I anxiously walk further, I see taxis and hear people whistling to call them over. I look to my left and see a group of 25 people or so, waiting just to grab a menu from a restaurant. To the right, a flock of birds, with a loud, little boy running after them. I hear the rain pounding on the windshields of cars, and I feel nervous as I know I need to make it in time. I hear slamming of breaks, shouting and commotion all while I am waiting to cross.
