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.

Read the sentence. Dan is a great coach________ he motivates the girls in a positive way. Which correctly states the punctuation
amid [387]
The correct answer is:  [B]:  "semicolon" .
___________________________________________________________
<u>Note</u>:  
___________________________________________________________
Choice:  [A]:  "comma" — is INCORRECT.  Note that placing a "comma" would result in an error known as "comma splice".
___________________________________________________________
Choice:  [C]:  "period" — is INCORRECT.   Note that placing a "period" would be incorrect.  Doing so would result in a new sentence that does not begin with a capital letter.
____________________________________________________________
Choice:  [D]:  "no punctuation is needed" —is INCORRECT.  Note that if the statement were left alone, the statement would be a "<u>run-on sentence</u>". 
___________________________________________________________
The correct answer is:  [B]:  "semicolon".  If a new sentence could be formed; and if the ideas could connect; it is acceptable to place a "semicolon" between the "two potential statements to form one statement" ; and to NOT CAPITALIZE the first word of the "second [potential sentence]" —<u>unless</u> that "[second potential sentence] begins with a proper pronoun.
