A kenning is one of the figurative expressions that replaces a noun which is often a compound of two hyphenated words. Examples of modern kennings are:
1. ankle-bitter= this means a very young child.
2. Bean counter= refers to a CPA or an accountant
Kennings are usually associated with Anglo Saxon Poetry. One good example of an Anglo Saxon poem is Beowulf. It is one of the oldest and most important work of old English Literature. It is a long poem consisting of 3182 alliterative lines. But to be able to understand this poem, the reader should understand first the kennings found in the poem.

See attached file for the list of kennings.

"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.
