Which two parts of this excerpt from w. w. jacob’s “the monkey paw” show that the white family does not believe in tailsman’s power?

In The Monkey's Paw, there are two moments that reflect how Mr. and Mrs. White don't believe in the talisman's power. First, Mr. White jokes about the wishes he should make upon being explained what the artifact is. The second moment is when Mr. White takes the talisman out of his pocket and starts to laugh about it with his wife and son, while the Sergeant-Major is very serious as he knows about the grim power the paw has.

for me, balancing all your work/homework is the hardest part in high school and the exams.

(you didn't attach a copy of the poem, but i'm answering as best as i can)

since a simile compares two unlike things using like or as, it kind of gives an item the ability to do something it can't.

example: "the player was like a tiger on the field"

in this sentence, the simile conveys the idea that the player was fast and strong, like a tiger.
