The main theme of the story in "The Monkey's Paw" is the dangers of messing with fate. This is a theme that is carried throughout the whole story, and is introduced at the beginning of the story. We learn that "[the monkey’s paw] had a spell put on it by an old fakir…a very holy man. He wanted to show that fate ruled people’s lives, and that those who interfered with it did so to their sorrow." Although the White family has ben warned about these dangers, they are careless and do not take them seriously.

Father and son were at chess, the former, who possessed ideas about the game involving radical changes." Finally, the plot contributes to the development of this idea, as it keeps us interested in fate, and in what is going to happen next to the members of the family.

life will not be easy it will be filled with war, lack of resources, damaged planet, and lack of land to live on.

hi there!

sorry i was debating over answering this question or not, but i do believe it is a sin to be gay. in the beginning, god created man and he created women to be a for man. there are many "political" views on this topic but i believe the bible is right. in the kjv bible, leviticus 18: 22, god talks about how it it is an abomination for women to be with women and man to be with man. god knows that everybody is a sinner, and he gives everyone a chance to repent. i'm not forcing god's word on anybody, but i do believe it is a sin. no matter the sin, as long as you repent, god is willing to forgive, you just have to accept him as your lord and savior.
