    “The Monkey’s Paw” by W.W. Jacobs and “The Third Wish” by Joan Aiken vastly incorporate the element of theme throughout the course of the story. For example, “The Monkey’s Paw” illustrates the consequences of greed. For instance, the Whites were given the opportunity to make three wishes with the monkey’s paw. With this, the family wished for two hundred pounds, in hopes of clearing their house. “‘I wish for two hundred pounds,’ said the old man distinctly” (Jacobs 109). Wishing for money proves that the Whites are greedy and only hope for fortune. The family’s cupidity resulted in Herbert's death, proving that acquisitive behaviors are followed by negative outcomes. Another theme emphasized throughout the story in the inevitability of fate.…

    The Chase shows the likeness between kids and their adult counterparts through analyzing the differing reactions to exact situations. The happiness seems to be the main focus, yet the sadness that is uncovered through the inevitable down-hill slide of the emotions that the child experienced as she realized that the sadness and come-back-to-earth feelings were inevitable and there was no way to make the feeling last forever. She fell out of her own world abruptly and the man showed them that now everyone cherishes their inner child and the burden of adult responsibility that squashes or suppresses the subconscious child. The children do their duty and listen to the man and know that this is how it is “supposed” to be and any other reaction would be “wrong” in the sense that there is a stencil for every situation to fall in to and the excess was unacceptable. The child realizes that this is inevitable, there is no way she can avoid it and wishes to cherish what she has access to now before she loses all connection to that part of herself. This is not encouraging children to find or go looking for trouble, but to cherish the moments they have and live life to the fullest while abiding by their…

    The use of touchscreen technology to control electronic devices pre-dates multi-touch technology and the personal computer. Early synthesizer and electronic instrument builders like Hugh Le Caine and Robert Moog experimented with using touch-sensitive capacitance sensors to control the sounds made by their instruments.[6] IBM began building the first touch screens in the late 1960s, and, in 1972, Control Data released the PLATO IV computer, a terminal used for educational purposes that employed single-touch points in a 16x16 array as its user interface.…
