ALADDIN MONKEY`S PAW COMPARE AND CONTRAST

A

lthough many people want, dream, and plead for wishes, they don’t know the

outcome of the wishes. Some people receive what they want, but their wish

can lead them to sorrow. People ask questions…will this wish change my life?

Will it hurt someone I love? Will it bring me what I want? Is it really worth it?

CHARACTERS

Monkey’s Paw Aladdin

T

he Genre of the Monkeys Paw is

to Entertain. I say this because

its spooky and trying to

entertain you. In the Monkeys

Paw it was written to give the

readers a good book to entertain

the reader. To find out the genre

I used process of elimination.

As for the Aladdin it is the same.

Entertainment. I say this because

its full Genies, magical wishes, and

many other fiction animations. If

the genre is Entertainment then it

will fiction characters, animals that

talk, and many other things. In

Aladdin, it has all the evidence for

Aladdin to be entertainment.

onkey`s Paw theme is being

greedy brings sorrow. Mr. White

wished for $500 although he said

“he didn’t need anything”. He

received his money because of his

WHAT DID THEY WISH WITH?

Monkeys Paw Aladdin

•I

n the monkeys paw there are

many moods. One is depressed

because Mrs. White couldn’t

sleep. Suspenseful because you

don’t know what is going to

happen next. And greedy

because in the text it says that

Mr. White says “I got all that I

need” and he still used his

wishes.

D

ark and scary are two of

Aladdin's moods. Dark because

most of it is happening at

night. Scary because it talks

about killing. Evil because

there are bad guys. Magical

because there is a genie that

grants wishes.

MOODS

Monkeys pawAladdin

In the monkeys Paw it ended

sadly. Their son Herbert came

back then Mr. White wished him

dead. Then Mrs. White died

because of the wish. Mr. White

was so lonely that he went out to

Herbert and Mrs. Whites grave

and he froze to death and died.

Now on the other hand Aladdin

ended cheerfully. Aladdin

defeated Jafar when he tricked

him into turning into a genie

then he had to go into the

genie lamp. Then he went with

Jasmine and became a prince

and lived happily ever after!
