Answer:
<h3>The motif of wishing for Yoni was through the sale of his video footage.</h3><h3>The motif of wishing for Yoni was through the magic goldfish.</h3><h3>The motif of wishing for the goldfish was through the final wish.</h3>
Explanation:
In the story "What, Of this Goldfish, Would you wish?", the motif of wishing for Yoni was through his <u>innocent yet ambitious dream of selling his video footage to companies. </u>"With a little decent footage, he was sure he’d be able to sell it to Channel 8 or Discovery in a flash,".
For Sergei, the motif of wishing was <u>through the magic goldfish. </u>Through this line ‘‘I’m a magic fish. I’m fluent in everything:”, we can see that the goldfish had the magic to grant Sergei with wishes.
The motif of wishing for the goldfish was that <u>once he granted three wishes to Sergei, he would have his freedom. </u>The lines "After the last wish, Sergei won’t have a choice. He’ll have to let the goldfish go. His magic goldfish. His friend."
There is no similarity in the wishes of these three characters. Yoni wanted success and wealth, Sergei wanted companionship and someone to talk to and the goldfish wanted freedom.
Indirect Characterization
"Rainsford sprang up and moved quickly to the rail." "When he opened his eyes he knew from the position of the sun that it was late in the afternoon." "He examined the ground closely and found what he had hoped to find--the print of hunting boots."
For all of the sentences above, Rainsford can be defined as nimble (quick), intelligent, and knowledgeable. His quick movement to the rail illustrates his nimbleness, while his knowledge of the position of the sun illustrates his intelligence. His expectations that he will find bootprints show his knowledge about hunting or tracking.
Direct Characterization
"The first thing Rainsford's eyes discerned was the largest man Rainsford had ever seen--a gigantic creature, solidly made and black bearded to the waist." "Ivan is an incredibly strong fellow," remarked the general, "but he has the misfortune to be deaf and dumb. A simple fellow, but, I'm afraid, like all his race, a bit of a savage."
Here, the reader has no question about Ivan. He is a huge, muscular man with a very long black beard. Zaroff openly describes him as strong, deaf (unable to hear), and dumb (mute--unable to speak).
