This question is about "My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun" by William Shakespeare.

Answer and Explanation:

The speaker presents a fun and sincere tone in the sonnet.

The response to the speaker should also follow that tone.

The sonnet response can be read below. She was raised from the point of view of the mistress.

My lord does not give me exaggerated praise

You don't see me as a goddess,

Nor does it compare to the beauty of nature.

In fact my lord's sincerity can cry many listeners,

But for me it is convenient.

Because of this true vision that he has of me

I am not obliged to reach unrealistic standards

I can be myself and be comfortable in his presence

This is the greatest example of romance that anyone can achieve.

I also don't see him as a man full of perfection

And I believe that its beauty cannot be compared to that of any Adonis

Nor is his education as refined as that of the noble princes

But I see him as an equal

And that is what unites us more than anything.

Compare Mr. White's feelings about the monkey's paw when he makes the first wish,
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

His attitude in making all three wishes reveal that he had changed from being expectant (first wish) to being scared (second and third wish).

Explanation:

The short story "The Monkey's Paw" by W. W. Jacobs evolve around the wish-granting item of a monkey's paw that was acquired by Mr. White, the protagonist of the story. The story delves into the themes of myth, superstition, greed, and death.

After acquiring the monkey's paw from Sergeant-Major Morris, Mr. White did not really have any belief in the story of the wish-granting ability. But pressurized by his wife and son, he decided to "test" the charm and wished for <em>"two hundred pounds"</em> so that they can pay off the mortgage for the house. He was at first skeptical about the wish coming true but when he got the right amount, though, at the cost of his son's life, he began to get scared.

His second wish was to bring his son back, again after being pressurized by his wife. To him, the first wish was <em>"A c-c-coincidence"</em> and even stated <em>"It is foolish and wicked"</em> to wish for another thing, that too, for his son to be brought back alive after the gruesome way he died. And when the knocking started, he was petrified for what was to be at the door. The line <em>'"A rat,” said the old man shakily – "a rat. It passed me on the stairs."' </em>reveals the real nature of the old man when he hears the knocking at the door.

And then, after realizing that it was probably their dead son coming alive again, Mr. White<em> "was on his hands and knees feeling around wildly on the floor in search of the paw"</em> so that he can make his third wish and make <em>"the thing"</em> at the door go away. The very nature of addressing whoever/ whatever was at the door as<em> "the thing"</em> suggests that whatever was there is something that isn't natural. Mr. White's frantic reaction and wish to make the knocking stop shows his scared reaction to the wishes he had made.
