There are many traditional stories in which characters are granted three wishes. what theme do many of them share? tell what makes "the monkey's paw" different from others.

Explanation:

Stories where the main character finds a special source that concedes -usually- three wishes are massively common. Frequently, those characters are low budget people wishing for riches. So, after their journey on finding the magical source that can make their richness desire come true and asking for it, the story has a happy ending. That is not the case of The Monkey's paw (W.W. Jacobs, 1902) where the wishes requested do not necessarily meet desired criteria and, the story itself doesn't have the typical "they lived happily ever after" ending.

in this passage from chapter 6 of "animal farm", by george orwell, what the author is ridiculing in this passage is the frivolity of some rules.

clover, the mare, believes she remembers that the fourth commandment forbade sleeping in beds because it was something that humans did. snowball, napoleon, and the pigs are brain-workers who look after the welfare of the farm. they are the obvious leaders because they are smart, and so they are entitled to eat the best food and sleep in beds. it is squealer, who says these lines making the difference between sleeping with sheets, what humans do, and sleeping in beds, what pigs do. the unwillingness to question authority makes the oppressed to obey without thinking.
