The first wish he made, was because he wanted to pay off his house. We know this because, the author wrote, “‘If you cleared the house , you’d be quite happy, wouldn’t you?’” (91) There is always a reason for your actions. Mr.White first wished for 200 pounds because he didn’t want to pay for his house anymore. This led to the second wish he made, “‘I wish my son alive again.’” (96) What motivated Mr.White to make this wish was his wife’s constant pushing and telling him that he has to do it, and that she want’s to see her son again. His motivation and the reason he made this wish, was not for him but for his wife’s happiness. The last wish he made was to put his son back to death he made this wish because he was in fear . Mr.White ,”...at the same moment he found the monkey’s paw, and frantically breathed his third and last wish.” The reason he made his last wish was because he didn’t want to see his son dead. He was scared of what might appear at their door that night, so he sent his son back to death. Although he made the wish to bring his son to life again he knew it was a bad decision and that’s what made him make his third and final wish. Every wish Mr.White made was for a…
One very large difference between What, Of This Goldfish, Would You Wish and The Brother’s Grimm Version of The Three Wishes is the way the wishes are used. In Etgar Keret’s story, most of the wishes are used intentionally and with a certain purpose. Most of the wishes seem to vary depending on what a person in that given situation would want – an elderly lady wants a child, a Holocaust survivor wishes for world peace, and a Russian migrant just wants something to talk to. In contrast, within the Grimm story, all the wishes are used unintentionally and rather wastefully. The woodcutter’s wife accidentally wishes for a string of sausages, which sets the stage for all three wishes to be completely used up by the end of the story, without anything…
Being like my father would be a great thing. Having the knowledge to know what to do in tough times, and how to lead a family.

For one thing, I could end world hunger. The United Nations World Food Program estimates there are 870 million people in the world that do not have enough to eat. With the power to refill anything, I could restock empty grocery stores; fill empty fields with food, or even just empty plates or bowls with more. Hunger kills more people each year than AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis combined.…

Wise people always say, "Watch what you wish for." The book "The Wish Giver" tells us a story of three young people who get a wish card, which can fulfill their one wish, whatever it is. The story tells us how; the wishes came true but along came unexpected miseries to the three people and many others around them. In conclusion the book teaches us that we should stay happy with the things we get and should not wish for something more because it might result in a total different way. HA! HA! HA! EVIL!!…
