The Monkey's Pow Comparison

while the first story related to only a slim few. Although these stories related to one another, they did not reach out to the same audience. There are only a few readers who can relate to both at the same time.

Next, the characters Louise Mallard and Emily Grierson are similar is their own progress throughout the two different stories. At the start of both stories, the writers made it

So even there will be a consequence in the wish just make sure that when it is wished for that it is an intelligent one.      

Every year movies come into theaters that are based on popular books and stories. In these movie blockbusters, the general ideas are the same as in the written stories, but the details may contrast from the original plot in the text. In the short story, “The Monkey’s Paw” written by W. W. Jacobs, circles around the idea that this paw of monkeys' holds a special capability to grant three wishes to the person who receives the paw. Coming from India, Sergeant-Major Morris visits the White family and brings the intriguing paw with him. Explaining its purpose and use to them, they are all very fascinated with the idea of what potential power it holds within. Disregarding the warning Sergeant-Major Morris supplied, Mr. White wishes for 200 pounds in the short story, and 300 pounds in the cinematic production.. The consequences would soon become known and affect the White’s stable lives forever. Two other wishes are made to try to reverse the repercussions of the first wish, leaving the White family in despair. When comparing two tellings of the same story there may be many similarities and differences that emerge, providing distinct examples of what is relatively the same and what is definitely not.

how they examine a certain theme and how their differences in style are significant (i.e. how they approach that theme and what is says about the story’s message and/or the author’s goals). In either case, you will need to include brief summaries of each individual story.

White makes a wish he thought would be innocent and would benefit the family without listening to what Sargeant-Major Morris warned him about the deadly monkey´s paw. Later after he makes the wish, he finds out the monkey´s paw indeed worked, and the thing he wished for costed the life of his beloved son. Mr. And Ms. White, terrifies of the monkey´s paw, decide not to try it ever again. But Ms. White, inconsolable with her only child´s death, decides to take a risk and wish for her son to come back to life. Later at night, someone knocks harshly on the door and Mr. White, full of terror, uses the very last wish to disappear whatever was outside the door

White decided to do what any normal person would do, he wished for money, 200 pounds to be exact. And fast forwarding to the morning after, to where the poor son had died in a tragic accident, in the early morning a wealthy man had come to break the horrible news to the mother and father, he told the parents they would be reimburse for their loss, 200 pounds to be exact. But any sensible person would not see that as a coincidence, but as a direct result of Mr. Whites wish. At first Mr. White had been very uncertain about the wish he would make on the paw, but after thinking it over he believed that if the paw actually did work, he wanted to pay off bills on the house and 200 pounds would be the perfect amount to do so. He was very naive to think that nothing was going to happen, listening to the stories Morris told he knew the paw was bad news, yet he still wished upon it.

From ending up dead to killing your own son, wishes can have some extreme consequences. After reading “The Monkey’s Paw” and “The Third Wish” it is clear that they are similar and different in many ways. Both Characters learn lessons that are very important to their current situation. However, the two characters get their wishes in two different ways. Although they are two different stories, we can still easily compare and contrast them.

Imagery is used very often in “The Third Wish”. Joan Aiken frequently uses imagery in his writing piece. Imagery can describe how the man wants things he does not need and takes things others do not want. Joan Aikens shows his use with Imagery in certain ways that help prove his theme and help readers get a better understanding of the theme and purpose of his writing. One piece from the text on page (105) is, “He stooped down and kissed her goodbye, then took another leaf from his notecase, blew it out of the window, and used up his second wish. Next moment instead of Leita there was a sleeping swan lying across the bed with it’s head under it’s wing,” This piece of evidence from Aiken’s piece shows that not everybody wants what you want, and just because you want it does not mean you need it. The wife that the man was granted with, was living a miserable life while she was his wife as a human, because that time was spent doing whatever the man wanted her to do. Another piece from the text that shows imagery is, “But I miss the old life in the forest, the cool grass and the mist rising off the river at sunrise and the feel of the water sliding over my feathers as my sister and I drifted along the stream” (105). This piece of evidence shows that not everyone around the man wants exactly what he does. His unwilling wife was miserable while doing exactly what Mr. Peters asked for. The man did

Characters, and some of the details. Both of the characters from the stories are different . In

In another way, these two stories are different because the authors have been using different perspective when narrating the story.

Each of the men were granted three wishes, however, both men were told ahead of time to be wise about their decisions. In “The Monkey’s Paw,” Mr. White’s first wish was to gain 200 pounds to pay off his mortgage (page 91). Consequently, Mr. White paid a very high price for his wish. He lost his only son, Herbert 9page 93-94). Mr. White’s second wish was to bring his son back to life (page 95-96). Well, Herbert died in a machinery malfunction, so if he was to bring his son back to life, he would be distorted (page 95-96). Mr. White didn’t want his son mutilated; therefore, he wished a third time. This time he wished for his son to stay dead (page 98). Due to that wish, the White couple had to live a life without their son. However, in the “The Third Wish,” we have a different case. In this story, Mr. Peters was very careful about his wishes. Mr. Peters' first wish was to have a wife as beautiful as the forest (page 103). He got the wish, but he later realized that his wife was a swan and could not be happy as a human. His wife, whose name was Leita, did not want to leave Mr. Peters, but truly missed her swan sister (page 104). Mr. Peters, being the kind gentleman that he was, used his second wish to benefit his wife. Mr. Peters wished his wife into the swan that she was once before (page 105), Since Mr. Peters wished for his wife to be her normal self again, he had no companion. Now,

They are similar because they both leave the readers dubious as to whether the story is over by being vague and open-ended. The resolutions in the two stories involve presumptuous people who, at the beginning of the stories, fancied the idea of three wishes and thought nothing could go wrong. In the end, the characters in the short stories realize that things can and will go wrong. The resolutions of The Monkey’s Paw and The Third Wish also contain significant differences.

Wishes come true for those who set aside their selfish ways to help others Conflicts: 1.Person against self- Flory must learn how to challenge herself to move forward without her wings. 2. Person against society- Flory is up against a new world that she wasn’t familiar with. She has to face animals and objects now.
