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.

Identify the underlined phrase in the sentence.
leonid [27]

Answer:

1. The idea of alien life (proposed many years ago) has not yet been proven- Participle phrase.

The participle phrase starts either with the present   (dependably ending with -ing) or past   (dependably ending with -ed)

The participle phrase includes the modifiers or objects to complete the thought of the sentence.

2. (According to the letter) the wedding is June 25th.- Prepositional.

A prepositional phrase refers to the phrase which begins with a preposition and ends with the 'objects' of the prepositions that are nouns, gerund, clause or pronoun.

The pattern of the prepositional phrase follows by the object of the preposition having one or more modifiers.

3. Mikayla's homeroom teacher, (mr. Jones) is very proud of her- Appositive

Appositive refers to a word or a noun that is followed by another phrase or noun which identifies or rename the noun or word. In other words, it refers to the literary device which appears after or before a noun phrase or noun, used with a comma.

4. (Talking) is not allowed in class- Gerund

Gerund in a sentence functions as a noun. Hence in a sentence, a gerund will act as direct objects, subjects, subject complements, an object of prepositions or indirect objects. Every gerund ends in -ing, and so does present participles. On the other hand, present participles act as modifiers or complete progressive verbs.
