Anybody think this is good? We will be reading the Monkey's Paw tomorrow, one of the first three-wishes-gone-bad stories every written. I'd like you to start your own three-wishes story in your writing journals today. (Journal #10) Start in today's writing piece by figuring out how you get the wishes. Put a modern twist on it. Examples: do you wake up to your cell phone buzzing announcing you have three wishes,? do you open your locker at school, and they fall out? Do you go through a drive-through window and you're told you have three wishes? You're choice. Just start this piece today - try to fill a page in your writing journal (DO NOT TURN IN - in your journal only). Be creative



I look around the market trying to see what I should buy when I come around a table with “magic Items.” Now I’m 16 I know that magic isn’t real, but I couldn’t help myself. I felt drawn to one particular object or paw I should say. I could see the merchant looking at me to the monkey's paw. I felt ridiculous asking this but I wanted to know: “What does this do? As in like magic? “Ah this is a rare artifact only known as the wisher curse.” Everyone who has ever owned it-” he stops. “Everyone who has ever owned it will get 3 happy wishes, and live happily ever after.” he smiled. “So there is a genie in there?” I asked. No, there is not, but I will give it to you for 50 euros if you want. I thought about it, and 50 euros for a monkey's paw? I wanted to say no, but then the merchant lowered the price to 15 euros. I agreed and he gave me a bag for the monkey's paw and I paid him some of my work money. Not exactly how I thought I would spend my money, I thought. Before I left the merchant whispered something to his employee: “She doesn’t even know half of it.” but before I could ask what that meant my phone rang and my mom was calling, probably to ask where in the world am I. When I got home the first thing I did was go directly to my room and lock my door. I slid down to my soft carpet and opened my bag to where the monkey's paw layed. I grabbed it and held it into my hands and examined it very closely. Before I could even make a “wish” my mom banged on my door. “Ayán! Unlock your door! I sighed and wished she would just leave me alone for once. I unlocked the door and expected her to be there in her pajamas and have a look that could kill anyone. I opened the door but she was nowhere to be found. “Mom!” I yelled. No answer. I left my room and looked at our apartment. I looked in her room, no one. I looked in the bathroom, the kitchen, the closet, the tiny hallway, she wasn’t there! She was just there, I thought! I gasped the monkey's paw! I still had it in my hand without realizing. I thought back to what could have made my mom disappear. It's not like I said I wished for her to disappear I only said just to leave me alone. Wait another word for leave is to disappear! I just poofed my mom! I wish my mom was still here! I said. Nothing. “Sweetie I’m home!” “Mom!” I sighed with relief. I gave her a hug. I looked at her and that wasn’t my mom! “Who are you!” “Why, I am your mom. “No you're not!” “Your green!” “And you have blood dripping down your shirt!” “But that’s not my fault, you killed me, then I came back, but with downfalls.” she smiled. I still had the monkey's paw in my hand, I wished I never bought you! I said. Something happened when I said. A dark, and green portal came out of nowhere and was swallowing everything in our apartment! “What’s happening! I yelled. You just wished you never bought it, it deceives you like that, if you aren’t alive then you can’t buy anything! “What!” “That's not what I meant!” Just then the green swallowed everything including my mom and me. All I saw was darkness then BAM!

"When We Two Parted" by Lord Byron


When we two parted

In silence and tears,

Half broken-hearted

To sever for years,

Pale grew thy cheek and cold,

Colder thy kiss;

Truly that hour foretold

Sorrow to this.


The dew of the morning

Sunk chill on my brow—

It felt like the warning

Of what I feel now.

Thy vows are all broken,

And light is thy fame;

I hear thy name spoken,

And share in its shame.


They name thee before me,

A knell to mine ear;

A shudder comes o’er me—

Why wert thou so dear?

They know not I knew thee,

Who knew thee too well:—

Long, long shall I rue thee,

Too deeply to tell.


In secret we met—

In silence I grieve,

That thy heart could forget,

Thy spirit deceive.

If I should meet thee

After long years,

How should I greet thee?—

With silence and tears.

As opposed to the rest of the book, which is written from Victor Frankenstein's perspective, this excerpt takes place from the monster's point of view. Knowing this, what effect does this change likely have on the text?

read the excerpt from a study in scarlet. this portion of the story is most likely the ____ of the plot.

A study published earlier this month suggests that, in addition to making us feel connected with others, all those hugs may have prevented us from getting sick. At first, this finding probably seems counterintuitive (not to mention bizarre). You might think, like I did, that hugging hundreds of strangers would increase your exposure to germs and therefore the likelihood of falling ill. But the new research out of Carnegie Mellon indicates that feeling connected to others, especially through physical touch, protects us from stress-induced sickness. This research adds to a large amount of evidence for the positive influence of social support on health.

ln the second paragraph, the author implies that the study shows hugs to be

A) the only proven method of preventing sickness.

B) less successful than social support in protecting people from colds and other illnesses.

C) not conclusively effective at helping people maintain good health.

D) one of several ways to guard against some illnesses.
