In <em>W.W. Jacobs' "The Monkey's Paw,"</em> I think that the power of the paw depends on the superstitious nature of the person who possesses it.

There is a process to the way faith works. One needs to believe first. Faith is the <em>foundation of miracles</em>. If the Sergeant-major Morris does not believe in the Monkey Paw, it cannot produce any fruit by itself. After all, the holy fakir only imbued the paw with its magic vigor.

The sergeant-major also uses his faith in the <em>power of the paw</em> to convince the Whites to make their wishes, which came through. <em>One must believe that God exists before one can experience His overwhelming presence</em>.

<em>The Monkey's Paw" by W. W. Jacobs</em> teaches that the human race should not toy with supernatural powers.

Thus, conscientiousness should come before <em>making a wish</em> since it may come true.

Which of the following is an example of third person objective point of view?
Aleksandr [31]

<em>Answer:</em> Destiny chose to take art instead of music because she enjoyed art more.  

I love running outside in the rain. This is an example of a first-person point of view (using pronoun “I”). The narrator is talking about what he himself likes.

Destiny chose to take art instead of music because she enjoyed art more. This is an example of third-person <em>objective</em> point of view. The third-person is demonstrated by the use of “he/she,” while the objectivity is shown because the narrator does not know any more information than what could be guessed by everyone in the story.

Jake hastily made the decision to leave his umbrella by the door instead of taking it with him. This would prove a poor choice. This is an example of a third-person <em>subjective</em> point of view. The character is a narrator who is not only describing the events, but has information that no character would know. The narrator could know about the character’s feelings, future plans, concerns, even when the character hasn’t mentioned them out loud. In this case, the narrator has information about the future consequences of not taking the umbrella.

You should always listen to your mother's advice. This is a second-person point of view (using pronoun “you”).
