Both the Gettysburg Address and Letter to Birmingham Jail are documents that talk about the importance of freedom, and which have proven to be very important in the development of the United States as we understand it nowadays. In the Gettysburg Address, Lincoln talks about the great sacrifices that the Founding Fathers made during the Revolutionary War. He argues that their fight is not over, and that it is up to the living Americans to continue their work. Therefore, he presents fighting for liberty as a duty of Americans. He claims that: "it is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced." Lincoln believes we need to fight for freedom now, and always.

King similarly believes that we cannot wait for freedom to happen to us. Instead, we need to seek it out and fight for it constantly. He disagrees with people who claim that the time to fight for freedom is not now. Those "who paternalistically feels that he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time; and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season."" Instead, King claims that freedom has to be constantly pursued.

it the climax in the poem

"the monkey's paw" is a rare story in that the theme is actually stated in the story. sgt. maj. morris tells the whites that the old fakir who put the spell on the paw said, "fate rules people's lives and those who interfere with fate do so to their sorrow." the message is a warning, but mr. white doesn't believe it. even though sgt. maj. morris makes it clear that he tried wishing with unfortunate results and he tries to throw the paw on the fire,   mr. white makes a wish for 200 pounds only to find that he receives the money when herbert dies in a factory accident. according to the fakir, then, because mr. white had wished for something he should not have had, his son lost his life.

the second wish that mrs. white encourages him to make is for herbert's return--one week after his death. when the strange knocking begins at the door during the windy night, mr. white panicks, believing that the previously dead but still mangled herbert could have walked home from the cemetary and is now at the door. because he fears what his wife will find if she opens the door, mr. white makes his third wish--for the noise to stop.

therefore, he uses his three wishes and to his sorrow, loses his son and disappoints his wife, who fervently believed that their son was at the door. she wanted him back, regardless of his condition.
