The Monkey's Paw

The short story is about a family, Mr and Mrs White and his son Herbert White. One day Major Major Morris, a friend of Mr. White, came to Mr. White's house and he talked about the Monkey's Paw that was a talisman that made 3 wishes. And Major Major Morris gave that to Mr.White so he wanted money since he has problems of paying the house. His first wish was two hundred dollars. One day a man came with bad news to the White's house, he said that his son was dead and his factory had nothing to do about it, but they paid the Whites two hundred dollars and his first wish came true. The Whites had all this money but they were very hurt because their son was dead so Mrs White had a great idea to make another wish wishing this son back. Mr.White wished that his son was back, but then all the house was dark and they heard someone knocking on the door and Mrs White thought it was his son so she ran to open the door, but Mr White thought he was like a monster and he made the third wish to not bring back his son.  


“Badly hurt," he said quietly, "but he is not in any pain."

This shows that the man of the factory Maw and Meggins is telling the White family in a way that his Son Herbert White is dead because he got stuck in a machine. 


"WISH!" she cried in a strong voice."It is foolish and wicked," he faltered."WISH!" repeated his wife.

This shows that Mrs. White was desperate to get back his son  Herbert White because he has a grate idea since they were depressed that his son was dead and the Whites has two more wishes. So he is shouting to his Husband to make the wish quickly because they wanted their son back.
