Mrs. White is an intelligent and passionate woman. She shares her husband’s and son’s fascination with Sergeant-Major Morris’s stories and questions him just as eagerly as they do. She is lovingly attentive to her husband and son, although she also enjoys teasing them. Herbert’s death traumatizes Mrs. White, and she forces Mr. White to wish Herbert back to life. "No," she cried triumphantly; "we'll have one more. Go down and get it quickly, and wish our boy alive again”(page 12).

I sympathize with the characters because it is not really their fault that the had fate and did not see what was coming. The story ended leaving the readers in suspense and it wasn't really specific and self explanatory. It should have ended by telling the readers if the person at the door was their son Herbert or if the paw was actually able to bring him back to life. It could have also told the readers what happened to Mr. and Mrs White. In summary, it did not say if there was a happy or sad ever after.]]> 2019-03-19 12:42:34 UTC https://padlet.com/ralphonsus74/dhsd8vuylrrb/wish/342813513 ralphonsus74 https://padlet.com/ralphonsus74/dhsd8vuylrrb/wish/342820763 This piece of art relates to the story because it listed the elements of the plot of the story. This piece of art also summarize the story to make it for the readers to understand and articulate. It also gives a simple view to the readers of what it may look like if it was real and also what the environment will look like. Some readers that understands stories through pictures can easily tell what the story itself could not specify. It also explained the elements of the story which keeps the story running smoothly and allow the action to develop in a logical way that the readers can follow.]]> 2019-03-19 12:56:15 UTC https://padlet.com/ralphonsus74/dhsd8vuylrrb/wish/342820763 Song ralphonsus74 https://padlet.com/ralphonsus74/dhsd8vuylrrb/wish/342828925 "Monster" by Eminem and Rihanna.

I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
Get along with the voices inside of my head
You're trying to save me, stop holding your breath
And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy
I wanted the fame but not the cover of Newsweek
Oh well, guess beggars can't be choosey
Wanted to receive attention for my music
Wanted to be left alone in public, excuse me
For wantin' my cake, and eat it too, and wantin' it both ways
Fame made me a balloon ‘cause my ego inflated
When I blew, see, but it was confusing
‘Cause all I wanted to do's be the Bruce Lee of loose leaf
Abused ink, used it as a tool when I blew steam
Ooh! Hit the lottery, ooh-wee!
But with what I gave up to get it was bittersweet
It was like winnin' a used mink
Ironic ‘cause I think I'm gettin' so huge I need a shrink
I'm beginnin' to lose sleep: one sheep, two sheep
Going coo-coo and kooky as Kool Keith
But I'm actually weirder than you think, ‘cause I'm
I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
Get along with the voices inside of my head
You're tryin' to save me, stop holdin' your breath
And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy
Well, that's nothin' (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Well, that's nothin' (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Now, I ain't much of a poet
But I know somebody once told me to seize the moment
And don't squander it
‘Cause you never know when it all could be over tomorrow
So I keep conjurin'
Sometimes I wonder where these thoughts spawn from
Yeah, ponderin' will do you wonders
No wonder you're losing your mind, the way it wanders
Yodel-odel-ay-hee-hoo!
I think it went wanderin' off down yonder
And stumbled onto Jeff VanVonderen
‘Cause I need an interventionist
To intervene between me and this monster
And save me from myself and all this conflict
‘Cause the very thing that I love's killing me
And I can't conquer it
My OCD is conkin' me in the head, keep knockin'
Nobody's home, I'm sleepwalkin'
I'm just relayin' what the voice in my head's sayin'
Don't shoot the messenger, I'm just friends with the
I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
Get along with the voices inside of my head
You're tryin' to save me, stop holdin' your breath
And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy
Well, that's nothin' (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Well, that's nothin' (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Call me crazy, but I have this vision
One day that I'll walk amongst you a regular civilian
But until then, drums get killed and
I'm comin' straight at MC's, blood gets spilled and
I'll take it back to the days that I'd get on a Dre track
Give every kid who got played that pumped-up feelin'
And shit to say back to the kids who played him
I ain't here to save the fuckin' children
But if one kid out of a hundred million
Who are going through a struggle feels it
And relates, that's great, it's payback, Russell Wilson
Falling way back in the draft
Turn nothin' into somethin', still can
Make that, straw into gold chump, I will spin
Rumpelstiltskin in a haystack
Maybe I need a straight jacket, face facts
I am nuts for real, but I'm okay with that
It's nothin', I'm still friends with the
I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
Get along with the voices inside of my head
You're tryin' to save me, stop holdin' your breath
And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy
I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
Get along with the voices inside of my head
You're tryin' to save me, stop holdin' your breath
And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy
Well, that's nothin' (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Well, that's nothin'

I chose this because it is  like how Mr. and Mrs White will sound when they realize that they should have avoided the paw in the first place. "cause you never know when it will be over so I keep conjuring". This shows that the son died unexpectedly and the mother really wants him back. It also shows that the family got the 200 pounds they wished for but the lost their son in return. This song "Monster" by Rihanna and Eminem reminds me of the story and helps me to meditate on how they(Mr and Mrs white) felt through out the story.]]> 2019-03-20 12:09:15 UTC https://padlet.com/ralphonsus74/dhsd8vuylrrb/wish/343271070 FA ralphonsus74 https://padlet.com/ralphonsus74/dhsd8vuylrrb/wish/343329219 when Mr White knew that the paw would not grant wishes for free but he had fate and wanted to try it anyway. “How do you do it”, Mr White inquired. ”Hold it up in your right hand and wish aloud” said the Sergeant Major, “but i warn you of the consequences” (page 8). This quote demonstrates the theme because Mr White had the benefit of doubt that it could be fake or better still a scam but he also had a second thought that there could still be a tiny bit of truth in the whole wish granting paw thing. It also means that many other people has tried it but did not end up well and the others who are yet to use it are aware of what happened to the previous people but still want to try their fate. They monkey’s paw had a spell put on it by an old fakir, a very holy man, who wanted to show that fate ruled people's lives, and that those who interfered with it did so to their sorrow.
