Monkey Paw

“Monkey paw”

When you’re walking down you come up to a monkey paw. IT is a magical paw that gives you 3 wishes. but you life becomes even worse. That what happens in “Monkey Paw”. The mode of literature and wishes make the monkey paw unrealistic.

Everything in the world does not happen the way you want it to be. Like in the book everybody that made the wish from the monkey paw did not have the wish that they wanted it to be. The soldier wished someone killed them self by wishing himself to die. When the sergeant-major got his wishes by getting it from the man that killed himself. The sergeant-major threw the monkey paw in the fire, because he did not want anyone to get themselves killed from the monkey paw. But when Mr. White got the monkey paw he thought that he won’t have a bad life with the monkey paw. But when he wished for two hundred pounds his son died. Then he wished for his son to live again. But instead he saw a rat and thought that his son was a zombie. When he heard pounding on the door he gave his last wish. When he gave it he wished his son to go away, and the pounding stopped. But all of the wishes that the monkey paw granted came true, but in a bad way. That is how the monkey paw is a very bad wishing object.

"The Monkey Paw" follows the ironic mode of literature. Although the monkey paw does not start with world in chaos the monkeys paw leads to world in chaos. But after that Main Character struggles with life and life sanity: Mr. White made a wish that he wanted two hundred pounds, but instead his son has died. When he tries to bring him back he brings the zombie version of his son and he wished last wish with sending him back. Irony ends with death or insanity: his son died and tried for his son to be alive but it did not happen. Irony is a nightmare of reality. It is a nightmare, because no one wants their son or daughter to die but it happens and you can never bring them back. Irony is unrealistic to: it is unrealistic, because in real life you can’t have three wishes or a person can’t becomes a zombie.

Every wishing object does not always work out for you. The wishing object could take the life away that you love someone that is very close to you. The mode of literature make the wishes even worse to have. So in the future don’t pick something up and can grant you wishes, because you will never know what would happen when you us your three wishes.
