What do you think happened at the end of the story? Why does Mr. White beg his wife not to
let "it" into the house? What does he mean? What is he afraid of? Who or what was outside of
the house?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Mr. White begged his wife not to open the door because he was scared to see what or who is on the other side of the door. Knowing his wife had just wished for their dead son to be brought back, it is only right to assume that the dead son or his ghost had returned.

By referring to the thing outside as "it", Mr. White seems to refer to the 'non-human' nature of whatever is outside. This shows the creature may be a ghost, or a supernatural being, nothing that suggests he's normal.

Though there is no proof or anything that suggests what was outside the door, we can only assume that it was the dead son or his ghost, returning as a fulfillment of his mother's wish.

Explanation:

The short story "The Monkey's Paw" by W.W. Jacobs revolves around the White family and their 'wishes' granted by a monkey's paw. The story deals with themes of supernatural elements, death, greed, fate, etc.

After getting hold of the monkey's paw from Sergeant-Major Morris, the white family decided to 'test' its power. They first wished for "two hundred pounds" which came true, in a way, through the death compensation from their son's employers after he died at work. The second was to bring the dead son back. It was this wish that led Mr. White to ask his wife not to open the door.

At the end of the story, though there is no proof of anything, it seemed like the son had come back, or his ghost had. So, when he asked his wife not to let "it" in, he was referring to the ghost of the son, or at whoever was knocking.

By referring to the person knocking as "it", it seems Mr. White is scared or even horrified at whatever or whoever may be at the other side of the door. He seems to be afraid of the 'being' in front of their door, knocking, fully aware that his wife had just wished for their dead son to come back to them.

Even though there is no evidence of anything or anyone outside the door, we can assume that with two wishes granted, not necessarily according to their desire, the person or being outside can be the dead son or what's left of him. With the mother's wish to get her dead son back, it seems like the dead man did indeed came back, or his ghost had. But for us to fully believe this to be true, there is nothing that suggests it actually happened. It is left to the readers to presume what happens, each to one's own conclusion.

Lisa told Star that Khalil liked her when they were younger even though Starr
never really realized it true or false

Answers

Answer: true

Explanation:

There was a scene in the book nd the movie when they talk about this.

AlohaS4

Answer:

The statement is TRUE.

Explanation:

"Lisa told Starr that Khalil liked her when they were younger even though Starr never really realized it". This statement is TRUE because, in the story "The Hate U Give" a summary of Chapter 15 will shows that, Starr, reveals what DeVante said about Khalil. She feels guilty for doubting Khalil. Lisa reminds Starr she didn't know about Khalil's plight. She adds she knows Starr had a crush on Khalil.

In the last sentence, "She adds she knows Starr had a crush on Khalil," it shows that Lisa did, indeed, say that Starr had a crush on Khalil. So this statement is TRUE.

Hope you found this helpful, have a wonderful day!

Narrow escape short story please I need for my exam ???

Answers

Answer:

I think this was around the time I was in the sixth or seventh grade or something.  Anyhow, while we were sitting there in the classroom, the nun had me get up.  

I used to be an altar boy, and we had to speak our prayers in Latin.  She was going over the Latin prayers with me to see if I knew them all, pronounced the words properly, had them memorized and all that.

I knew I was doing it correct.  But she kept yelling at me and telling me I am saying it wrong.

So she had a belt, you know, with three knots in it.  She took that and started whipping me, telling me, "You were saying it wrong," and all that.

After the third or fourth time saying I am doing it right with no tears in my eyes -- I am too stubborn to cry anyhow.  I looked at her and said, "I am saying it right!"

She said, "You are saying it wrong!"  

So she started whipping me, and I lowered my shoulder and put it down and plowed right into her.  She was up by the blackboard.  You know those big, long blackboards we used to get up to write on.

That thing collapsed and fell right on top of her!

I said, "Oh, I am in trouble!"

I headed toward the back of the room and there was an open window there.  Everybody was busy with their work.  That window was next to a tree.

This was on the second floor up.  I jumped out that window and onto that tree limb and got down that tree and escaped.  They were busy talking care of that nun with that blackboard on top of her.

I escaped.  It was one of those times I ran away.

Which quote from the passage best demonstrates Brayden's change from the beginning of the story through the end?
A) "Brayden groaned, stuffed the juicebox into his back pocket, and followed his father up the trail."
B) "Upriver, Brayden stood on his favorite boulder and watched the sun sink beneath the trees."
C) "He grabbed the juice pouch and slowly walked back to the camp."
D) "He turned and saw a coyote directly opposite him on the other side of the river."

Answers

"Upriver, Brayden stood on his favorite boulder and watched the sun sink beneath the trees." Hence option B is correct.

What is story?

Story is defined as the narration or account of an event or associated chain of events, whether real or imagined. A tale can be used to convey knowledge, experience, attitude, or point of view. A storyteller and a listener are present at all times. We may learn about others through stories, and we can develop empathy for them and their circumstances.

The theme of "the monkey's paw" is explicitly stated throughout the story, which makes it unusual. "Fate regulates people's lives, and those who interfere with fate do so to their misery," the old fakir who placed the spell on the paw reportedly said to the whites, according to Sgt. maj. Morris. Mrs. White encourages him to make a second request, which is for Herbert to come back one week after his passing.

Thus, "Upriver, Brayden stood on his favorite boulder and watched the sun sink beneath the trees." Hence option B is correct.

E. It establishes the conventional view about whether babies dream in order to show how the argument of the passage departs from this understanding.

Explanation:

Answer E

Correct. The function of the second paragraph is to establish the conventional view that babies must dream because they experience REM sleep. It is important to explain this position because it helps readers understand how the passage’s argument—that babies probably do not dream because their brains are occupied with other activities and lack the capacity for visual imagination—relates to other points of view on the topic.
