There are lots of stories out there and lots of stories or movies have it where a character has the power to make wishes for whatever they want. It is usually hard for the character to decide what to wish for. In this paper I will tell you how the books,“ The Monkeys Paw,”and,“The Fisherman and his Wife,” are alike and different.

In ,“ The Monkeys Paw,” every time the person went into the basement it grew darker and scarier. What I'm saying is that each time a person went to go for another wish the atmosphere became more violent or changed in a bad way.
In this paragraph I will tell you about the differences between the stories ,“ The Monkey's Paw,”and ,“The Fisherman and his Wife.”

In the other story they go down into the basement and wish to the monkeys paw.
In this paragraph I'm going to tell you about the wishes each person makes. In,“The Fisherman and his Wife,” the wife wishes for a cottage and then she wishes for a mansion and upgrades of their house. In , “The Monkey’s Paw,” the Mr. White wishes for money to pay off the
