Additional Questions: 3)Write about how you feel about TV and about flying. if you strongly agree or disagree with anything in the poem, explore why.

4)What is the extent to which you agree with the speaker that “The screen is magic”

3 Answered: I believe that T.V.'s do have this effect on people the reason being how many will stare at one for hours and never get bored. They find what's on the screen to be so entertaining. While flying is different you might not have a T.V. to watch so you take in your surroundings but when something is on T.V. many find it better to watch then observe their surroundings. I agree with the author because they state that the screen is magic it is to those who want to be entertained.

4 Answered: All of it because many would rather watch T.V. then stare out a window for hours. T.V.'s have many shows and videos to entertain people with the screen is magic because everyone enjoys watching it and it can let them watch or see anything.

Explanation:

a. the scene is structured as a dialogue between two characters in their own informal language.

"the monkey's paw" is a rare story in that the theme is actually stated in the story. sgt. maj. morris tells the whites that the old fakir who put the spell on the paw said, "fate rules people's lives and those who interfere with fate do so to their sorrow." the message is a warning, but mr. white doesn't believe it. even though sgt. maj. morris makes it clear that he tried wishing with unfortunate results and he tries to throw the paw on the fire,   mr. white makes a wish for 200 pounds only to find that he receives the money when herbert dies in a factory accident. according to the fakir, then, because mr. white had wished for something he should not have had, his son lost his life.

the second wish that mrs. white encourages him to make is for herbert's return--one week after his death. when the strange knocking begins at the door during the windy night, mr. white panicks, believing that the previously dead but still mangled herbert could have walked home from the cemetary and is now at the door. because he fears what his wife will find if she opens the door, mr. white makes his third wish--for the noise to stop.

therefore, he uses his three wishes and to his sorrow, loses his son and disappoints his wife, who fervently believed that their son was at the door. she wanted him back, regardless of his condition.
