2. What stories, myths or fairy tales have you read that connect to making wishes or fate?
3. What does the word “fate” mean? People who believe in fate are known as “fatalists”. Some ways fate is predicted include palmistry, numerology or horoscopes. Have you experienced a situation that seemed like fate? How is fate connected to superstition?

17. What event reveals the power of the monkey's paw?
18. How is the following statement by Sergeant-Major Morris an example of foreshadowing? "I don't know what the first two were, but the third was for death." *Foreshadowing – when the author presents clues in the story so that the reader knows that a twist of events is yet to come.
19. Explain how Mr. White’s feelings about the monkey’s paw change throughout the story.
