Answer:

Parts 2, 3, 4 and 5 show the attitudes and comments made by the White family about the major’s story and the alleged powers of the monkey’s paw.  

In part 2, Mrs. White compares the major’s story with the ‘Arabian nights’ so as to show that, for her, it was nothing more than a tale. In addition, she makes a scornful comment about the seriousness of the situation.

In part 3, the overall veracity of the major is questioned, indicating the lack of trust in his words.

In part 4, a sarcastic comment about the odds of the wishes coming true is made by Herbert, which indicates his skepticism about the paw’s powers.

In part 5, Mr. White’s doubtfulness is literally expressed in the text.

The remaining part (part 1) is the only one that shows the words of the major himself. Thus, it is self-evident that this is the only part that will not express doubts about his story.

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

Judaism and Islam simply do not recognize the divinity of Jesus. For this reason, the monotheism practiced by Judaism and Islam is different from the monotheism of Christianity. Christianity has a Trinitarian understanding of the one true God because of Jesus’ divinity that is not shared by Judaism and Islam. In fact, Islam would describe Christianity as a tri-theist religion, rather than a monotheistic religion.

Judaism is characterized by a belief in one transcendent God who revealed himself to Abraham, Moses, and the Hebrew prophets.

Followers of Islam are called Muslims. Muslims are monotheistic and worship one, all-knowing God, who in Arabic is known as Allah. Muslims are monotheistic and worship one, all-knowing God, who in Arabic is known as Allah.
