"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.

hi! can you be a little more specific? ! is this multiple choice? "used here" used where? hope i can : )

racial profiling is the act of targeting a racial minority for a criminal investigation only based on the individual's skin color, and therefore the association of that person to a race or ethnic group.

criminal profiling on the other hand, is the practice hold by police enforcement members, in which they stop for questioning an individual based on his/her appearance and the similarity between them and a suspect the police is looking for. in this case, race can be used for criminal profiling, but eyes color, hair color, height, weight, type of clothes wearing, etc, are also taking in consideration.
