The short stories ´´The Monkey's Paw´´ by W.W. Jacob and ¨The Third Wish¨ by Joan Aiken, both have similarities and differences. Some similarities are fiction, involved death and makes the main character think about consequences. They both have a third point of view. The themes for both stories is” You don't realize how much you love something until you lose it”. The loss of a loved one is one of the hardest things to deal with in life. In the “The Third Wish” it say “ This is my sister” she answered” and I can't bear to be without her. The Wife of Mr.Peters missed her sister a lot ,and couldnt live without her at all. In the “Monkey’s Paw” when Hubert, their son died and trying to bring him back to life.
In the story The Monkey's Paw the foreshadowing creates tension and suspense because during the story there was so many things going on and you didn't know what was going to happen next. I say this because in the Monkey's Paw the author writes He raised his hand. "I wish my son alive again." This quote explains foreshadowing by suspense because when he wishes for his son to be alive again it gives the audience suspense if he is going to actually be alive again or if it's not going to come true and they are going to be disappointed.
The themes of “The Lottery and “The Tell-Tale Heart” have its similarities but minor differences. The stylistic techniques the authors use in each story contribute to their themes. Irony and symbolism help support the 2 different themes of each story. Both stories involve death but are looked at in different ways.
Have you ever done something you instantly regretted, or given someone something they shouldn't have?

In “The Tell-Tale Heart” by Edgar Allan Poe, an undescribed person murders an old man while the narrator explains why the narrator thinks the narrator is sane, but is clearly crazy.

W.W Jacobs was an English author who mostly wrote humorous short stories and novels. Oddly enough though, he is most famous for a horror titled “The Monkey’s Paw.” He was an overall great writer and was also famous, on a lesser degree, for “The Toll House”. In “The Monkey’s Paw”, W.W Jacobs demonstrates great skills as he develops characters, conflict, theme and symbolism.
Tension is created in ‘The Monkey’s Paw’ in a various way, mainly using sentence structures such as lots of minor sentences or short dialogues which builds up tension because lots of things are happening in a short amount of time. Gothic stories have lots of element to it, for this instance, it uses the symbolism, the ‘Monkey’s Paw’ to portray the mysteriousness happening to the White Family.
Two stories may be very different, but very alike. “The Monkey's Paw” by W.W. Jacobs is relatively similar to another story named, “The Third Wish” by Joan Aiken. These stories are very different in tone but very similar in the main idea. In both stories a man acquires three wishes and must use more than one to fix previous wish mistakes. One is accidental death and another is a sad companion. Both stories tackle the, “be careful what you wish for” idea and both show that problems can be created from wishes.
Desiree’s Baby by Kate Chopin and Lamb to the slaughter by Roald Dahl are two fictional short stories.

These stories can be seen as different from each other in many ways. The young boy lives in a house in a suburban area without a mother or a father, but with guardians. He has a group of friends nearby he hangs out with. Though, he has no siblings. His revelation lets him realize the finer things in life, like women. He finds his friends are boring and no longer wants to play. Also, he obsesses over the young girl across the street in an unhealthy way. It almost seems as if he could grow to be a psychopath. He follows behind her on the way to school, waits for her before school, and watches her from his door.
Every author has their own version of of loss and their own way of looking at it. Characters from each of these three short stories; “Night Calls”, “Typhoid Fever”, “Geraldo No Last Name” have to deal with a type of loss. Whether that person lost a family member like in “Night calls” or a complete stranger like in “Geraldo No Last Name” even a best friend like in “Typhoid fever” they all have to deal with some kind of form of death. The authors perspective’s in each story can change their own views on how they looked at each perspective of losing someone that impacted them somehow in their lives.

I recognized many similarities between these two stories concerning, success for their their loved one through hard work and suffering. For example, in the story Yzur written by Leopoldo Lugones, the narrator is conducting a study on a chimpanzee named Yzur, who he grew to love. He does everything he can to make Yzur talk, just like any human being. Therefore, he put many years into trying to teach Yzur to talk, believing someday he will. When Yzur finally had the strength to talk, the researcher was upset that he couldn’t repeat what he said in english and beat him. Yzur got sick because of his depression and later died. The researcher had become successful by achieving his goal, to help Yzur talk, but abused it by killing him in the long run. In this case, the researcher was successful through his hard work, but didn’t have enough proof that it was successful.

They both contain great tones, symbols, plots and especially themes, but when it all comes down to it, nothing is better than a story one can relate to that touches your soul in a deep, dark, and gothic way as showing
