solitude-isolation
jocund-happy
Isolation, while being the closest synonym to solitude, has a negative connotation. As if the writer didn't choose to be alone in bliss, but were rather trapped where they were- alone.
Happy is a commonly used word. It makes the writer/author seem elementary in their writing, which wouldn't fit in this poem as it's a high level poem that can be used for scholarly analysis.
Starting in 1937, new segregation laws were put in place in Nazi Germany to separate Jews from the 'Aryan' German population.

- Jewish businesses were forced to collapse due to excessive financial pressure, a ban from signing work contracts for the German government, and the destruction of their storefronts and offices.
- Synagogues were set on fire.
- Jews were sent to the 4 remaining concentration camps (Dachau, Sachsenhausen, Buchenwald, and Lichtenburg) where they lived in inhumane conditions and often met their deaths.
Answer:
The theme that these stories share is that every desire has a price. What makes "The Monkey's Paw" different is that even after paying a terrible price for the wish that was made, the White family continues to make wishes.
Explanation:
Stories about magical and mystical beings who can fulfill desires usually revolve around the theme that these desires must be made with great responsibility, as all magic is not free and every desire has a price to be paid and these prices do not are good.
The price of the desire to receive a large sum of money, which the White family desired, was the death of the family's son.
Even after this horrible price, the White family continues to prove inconsequential and makes another order, regardless of the price that would be paid.
