Read the adapted excerpt from "The Monkey's Paw" by W.W. Jacobs. Which two lines reflect the theme that men must never go agains

t fate? He took something out of his pocket and proffered it. Mrs. White drew back with a grimace, but her son, taking it, examined it curiously. "And what is there special about it?" inquired Mr. White as he took it from his son, and having examined it, placed it upon the table. "It had something put on it by an old Fakir," said the Sargeant-Major, "a very respected man. He wanted to show that fate ruled people's lives, and that those who interfered with it did so to their sorrow. He put a spell on it so that three separate men could each have three wishes from it." "And did you really have the three wishes granted?" asked Mrs. White. "I did," said the seargent-major, and his glass tapped against his strong teeth. "And has anybody else wished?" persisted the old lady. "The first man had his three wishes. Yes," was the reply, "I don't know what the first two were, but the third was for demise. That's how I got the paw." His tones were so grave that a hush fell upon the group.

2. <u>"I don't know what the first two were, but the third was for demise."</u><u> </u><em>( This proves that old Fakir was right, those who interfered with fate did it with great peril to themselves. The man before the Sargeant-Major wished for death using his last wish. )</em>

retell the main events of this story as jerry might tell them to his best friend when he returns from vacation or to his own son
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Retell the main events from the story Through the Tunnel, by Doris Lessing, as Jerry might tell them to his best friend when he returns from vacation.

"My mother and I went abroad for vacation, to a beautiful beach. But, guess what? On the first day there, I discovered a much interesting place. It was a wild beach, so different from the one we were on. I begged my mom to let me go there and she finally did, although I think she was not very convinced. Anyway, I did! I went there! You wouldn't believe how wonderful it was. I met some local boys there that could dive through a hole in a wall of rocks under the water. They went through the hole and came out in a different beach! And I tried! At first, it was hard, I had to prepare my lungs, it took me a few days to do it properly. Besides, you know how my nose always bleeds when I push myself so hard... It didn't matter to me, my mom was not happy with this. But I really wanted to do it! So I kept trying until, the day before coming back, I finally managed to do it. I was so happy!

When I got back home and told my mother she asked me not to do it again, she seemed worried and I agreed not to do it anymore. I just feel happy I could do it once and I am so proud! I loved this vacations!

What about your vacations? Have you had fun?"

Who are the different people involved in the scenario? What dilemma or challenge are they facing in the story missing out?
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

The trolley problem is a series of thought experiments in ethics and psychology, involving stylized ethical dilemmas of whether to sacrifice one person to save a larger number. Opinions on the ethics of each scenario turn out to be sensitive to details of the story that may seem immaterial to the abstract dilemma. The question of formulating a general principle that can account for the differing moral intuitions in the different variants of the story was dubbed the "trolley problem" in a 1976 philosophy paper by Judith Jarvis Thomson.
