In 300 words please write:

A summary and analysis of The Monkey’s Paw found in your book A Wild Swan on pages 47-56.

You should have a detailed, 100 word, summary of the story. The summary should not be a narrative retelling of the story, but rather highlight the most important details of the story. It should be like explaining something to someone in 1-minute or less.

Your analysis should ask questions of the piece. What is significant? What are the characters motives? and other thought provoking questions. Try to push past the obvious moral that the story is presenting. Instead, think about what it could mean in today’s context and what implications you can push.
