That stage is described as the stage when people follow low and order to do their duty to support society and to avoid dishonor and guilt. Skipper is the leader of a group of penguins in the movie. He is similar to a commander in the army in the sense that law rules. Skipper’s moral development is shown when the monkeys, that the penguins contracted to help build the plane after the wreck, were missing, so Skipper wanted to call them to a court marshal to punish them for their crime. This would show Skipper following law and order and forcing others to do the same.
The little monkey picked up a banana and ate some of the left over scraps and threw it in dismay at the floor. It came closer to my face and I climbed up on the railing to get a close look into it's eyes. I motioned to my mouth and the banana and the monkey dissapeared into the cage looking for banana slips and I was extremely excited thinking that the genious monkey was getting me food. However, it ate the banana and just returned to look at me. Observing the monkey's behavior gave me a chance to absorb information about the background of the animal.
“If you keep it don’t blame me for what happens. Pitch it on the fire again, like a sensible man.” This demonstrates foreshadowing because it shows the monkey paw is better to burn in a fire than face the consequences it brings again showing the fear of the sergeant of the power of the monkey paw leading the reader to believe the monkey paw has power. Two instances of foreshadowing in “The Monkeys Paw” are when the sergeant is ask about his wishes with the paw and his face becomes blotchy and
Being the curious monkey he is, George snuck down onto a machine and accidently pressed a lever that sped up the conveyor belt. It sped the conveyor belt so fast the workers could not keep on track. Chocolates were falling off the end. These chocolates were no longer good. A monkey could work faster than a human so George went to the end of the belt and boxed all the chocolates.
To protect the monkey from harm the hunter shoots near the monkey to provoke him to move quicker to safety. The choppy lines and incomplete thoughts add to the relationship between the structure of the poem and the meaning behind it.

The cut off sentences and line breaks gives the reader a sense of the monkey swimming. The use of good imagery and simple language help the reader relate to the situation presented.
Sean Carroll September 18, 2012 The Monkey’s Paw By: W.W. Jacobs Question 1: What is the central conflict of the narrative? The central conflict of the narrative is the temptation of the monkeys paw. Mr White strongly believes that the Fakir had put a spell on it, and the temptation of having three wishes was so strong that he ignored Sergeant Major Morris’ warnings. Mr. White is tempting fate when he pulls the monkeys paw out of the fire with full intention of using it, despite the warnings, the draw of the potential mystical powers were enough for him to take the risk. Mr. White again temps fate when he decides to use the paw to wish for 200 pounds, even though he is comfortable with his life as he says: “I don’t know what to wish for, and that’s a fact.
But why do the boy’s efforts to create a civilisation on the island fail? ! The boys elected Ralph as the leader.

Monkey is initially described as a ‘stone monkey’ with extraordinary skills. “This stone monkey is an extraordinary creature of boundless energy and “steely eyes” that shoot “golden light.” It immediately attracts the attention of the divine forces of intelligence, called Thousand-League-Eye and Wind-Knowing-Ears” (Study). In both the story of Gilgamesh and the story of Monkey, each hero travels on a journey that could be described as a journey of life. It is interesting to note that both characters begin their journey by displaying the ‘bad’ side of their particular character. Both heroes initially oppress their followers, but as they travel this ‘life’ journey they both evolve into super-heroes that help their people rather than oppress them.
Ironically, when the elephant begins to terrorize the village, the Burmese turn to Orwell because he is the only one capable of fixing the dilemma. He speaks of being the leader of the people in this situation, “but in reality [he] [is] only an absurd puppet pushed to and fro by the will of [the] yellow faces” (¶ 7). His agency is really just a façade of his submission to the Burmese. Symbolism of Orwell’s gun and the dead Indian also promote the concept of his submission to the Burmese as a façade. Orwell takes out a small gun, hardly large enough to damage an elephant, but due to its powerful sound, he deems it “useful in terrorem” (¶ 3).
After a few rounds of drinks Major Morris began to speak of his 21 years of war when Mr. White questioned Major Morris of the monkey’s paw that he had spoke of previously. The major quickly tried to end the conversation, but Mr. White’s question had gotten the attention of his wife and son, they insisted he told them what it was about. Major Morris spoke of a mummified monkey’s paw that was magic. Major Morris told them the paw had a spell cast upon it by a holy man called a fakir whom did so to prove that fate ruled people’s lives. The spell allowed that three different men have three wishes each from it.
