The Monkey's Paw

 If you had three wishes, what would they be?  Why?  (No wishing for more wishes.)  Explain each response.

1. My first wish would be to never run out of money because if I have money my whole life I wouldn't have to work.

2.My second wish would be too find a cure for all types of cancer. I would wish this because there's a lot of people out there who struggle and I know how it feels to lose someone with cancer. 

3. My third wish would be to be able to read people's minds. It might be weird but I think it would be cool to be able to do that.

   Is there anything that you are superstitious about?  Explain.  (If not, explain why not.)

I am not superstitious anymore. As a little girl I was, but now I just think all that is made up stuff. Like breaking a mirror will give you bad luck for 7 years or step on a crack break your mothers back. I am a person who was very gullible but now I don't believe these at all. In my opinion, everything happens for a reason.

Also, complete this chart in your Notebook while you read:

 Wish: "I wish for two hundred pounds."

Prediction (What will happen next): I predict that Mr.white will get his money, but something bad is going to happen in return.

Consequences: Mr.white got his money, but his son died to a machinery accident.

Wish: "I wish my son alive again."

Prediction (What will happen next): I think his son will come back alive but isn't going to be nor act the same.

Consequences: Mr.White was too scared to answer his door and Mrs.White didnt mind what was at the door. She just wanted to know.

Wish: Mr.White wished for his son to be gone.

Prediction (What will happen next): I think his son will disappear before Ms.white gets to her door.

Consequences:Mrs.White opened her door and her son wasn't there because Mr.White's wish was for him to be gone again.
