The Monkey’s Paw is a short story wrote by W. W. Jacobs on 1902.

Explanation:

This horror story is about a monkey's paw acquired by a Sergeant-Major, Morris, and taken to the White family.

He arrives from India with this Monkey’s Paw and says that whoever owns it can ask for three wishes, but these always bring some misfortune.

The story takes place with scenes that generate a lot of tension and curiosity about what will happen next.

The plot developments that are used by the author to mentally prepare the reader for what may happen, occurs almost from the beginning.

An example of this is when the sergeant tells Mr White: "Better where you are", in response to Mr White saying he wanted to go to India. The way in which Morris acts, as if he was remembering something bad, creates suspense and curiosity in the reader.

After that, Mr White asks Morris about that monkey's paw, but Morris's answers are vague. He is refusing to talk about that, and warns that his stories are not pleasant, telling Mr White: "Leastways, nothing worth hearing."

Finally, Morris starts talking about it, and generates high tension. As soon as the family did not accredit in his words and took him as a mockery, they were interrupted by the tone in which he spoke, and his face paled, being forced to stop laughing and pay more attention to what the sergeant was trying to warn them .

Morris says he has only asked for two wishes, and that he doesn't know if he's going to ask for the third one.

There is an atmosphere of suspense and terror in his words and attitudes, although Mr. White does not seem to care much.

Before leaving, the sergeant tells the man that it was better to burn that paw, and that if he used it, it would be at his own risk.

Most of the time, the author has the reader waiting for the next scene, wondering what can be so bad, what can happen if they make a wish.

And finally, Mr. White makes the first wish, 200 pounds, and he can automatically feel a bad omen. Even the weather gave an air of a bad presage: "Outside, the wind was higher than ever, and the old man started nervously at the sound of a door banging upstairs."

This bad omen comes the next day, when they inform the family that their son had died, and that the sum of money offered by the company for said accident was 200 pounds.

After the misfortune, Mr. and Mrs. White were disconsolate. Until one night, Mr. White wakes up by the cries of his wife, who desperately asked to bring his dead son back to life, making a wish for the Monkey's Paw.

Mr. White immediately knew it was a bad idea, and that can be expressed in the following quote: “The talisman was in its place, and a horrible fear that the unspoken wish might bring his mutilated son before him ere he could escape from the room seized upon him ”.

Despite that feeling, he finally makes the wish.

And the worst fears began to seem true. Heavy blows began to be heard in the house. Terrifying sounds that anticipated the worst.

The woman runs out of the room in search of her son, but Mr. White was convinced that this was not the son they remembered, and, going to meet him could be fatal. So he took the monkey's paw and asked for his last wish to made the "monster" disappear.

The story comes to an end when the woman opens the door to find her son, but no one was there.

i think that the quotes in paragraph 11 contribute to the development of ideas because it provides a good reasoning of the central idea of the text.

the tone of the passage is sympathetic to the forbidden love of romeo and juliet. the nurse plays a significant role in the play. she is responsible for making their meeting again possible. additionally, there is a sense of warning in the choice of words of the nurse. she seems to be authoritative when she calls romeo "scurvy knave", and at the same time the fact that she addresses to him as "sir" reflects respect. the nurse is "vexed", this word describes her confused state of mind. on the one hand, she finds romeo a fine and eloquent man, but on the other, it is thought that man's nature forces men to try to trick women.
