Danger: cell phone driver by hank upp a law should be passed that bans the use of a cell phone while driving. too often i have seen people driving recklessly while engaged in conversation on a cell phone. they can't seem to find time to exercise proper vehicle functions or safe driving procedures because they are too busy gabbing on their little phones. one hand holds the phone to the ear, and the other hand might be used to steer. in fact, a study has shown that more accidents are caused by people using cell phones while driving than by people who are drunk while driving. the need for restricting cell phone use, then, is clear. these careless people are endangering you and me on the public streets, and i personally believe the time has come to call for an end to this needless and potentially dangerous practice. how does the author express his opinion in this passage? in argument essay style with balanced, opposing views with strong wording encouraging readers to take action using expert opinion to create awareness among readers citing examples of celebrity use to influence reader opinion with fallacious reasoning to win over reader approval

"the monkey's paw" is a rare story in that the theme is actually stated in the story. sgt. maj. morris tells the whites that the old fakir who put the spell on the paw said, "fate rules people's lives and those who interfere with fate do so to their sorrow." the message is a warning, but mr. white doesn't believe it. even though sgt. maj. morris makes it clear that he tried wishing with unfortunate results and he tries to throw the paw on the fire,   mr. white makes a wish for 200 pounds only to find that he receives the money when herbert dies in a factory accident. according to the fakir, then, because mr. white had wished for something he should not have had, his son lost his life.

the second wish that mrs. white encourages him to make is for herbert's return--one week after his death. when the strange knocking begins at the door during the windy night, mr. white panicks, believing that the previously dead but still mangled herbert could have walked home from the cemetary and is now at the door. because he fears what his wife will find if she opens the door, mr. white makes his third wish--for the noise to stop.

therefore, he uses his three wishes and to his sorrow, loses his son and disappoints his wife, who fervently believed that their son was at the door. she wanted him back, regardless of his condition.

explanation:

the purpose in this excerpt is that you should never do things like that because according to the bible, if you have more than one wife it's wrong and a huge sin. i hope this .
