Selfish Use of Magic- “The Monkey’s Paw” CERER


Photo Credits here

Think. If you had the power to wish for anything, would you do use it for yourself or use it to help others in need? When Mr and Mrs  white found out about the monkey paw, they wished for 200 pounds. Then, their son died in an accident, and they got 200 pounds because of their son’s death. Then the mother remembers about the monkey’s paw and wishes for their son to come back, but right when the mother opened the door, the father used the last wish and whoever was knocking on the front door disappeared.

In the story ”The Monkey’s Paw“ by William W. Jacobs, the author believes that Power sometimes lures people to use it selfishly   Mr. and Mrs. White wishes for two hundred pounds: “‘I wish for two hundred pounds,’ said the old man distinctly.”(Morris3). When Mr. and Mrs. White got the Monkey’s Paw, they didn’t think really carefully first but wished for two hundred pounds just to finish paying for the house, but they could’ve used it for a better purpose, or even helping another person. Although wishing for to hundred pounds solved one of their problems and lifted some weight off their shoulders, but other people might need help more than they did. Also, maybe if they used the Monkey’s Paw to help others, the consequences might not have been as fatal. As the story continues, Mrs. White wanted Mr. White to go and wish that their son was alive again: “‘Go down and get it quickly and wish our boy alive again.’”(Morris4). This quote from the text shows that Mrs. White doesn’t accept the loss, and wants to use the Monkey’s Paw again to bring her son back to life. She didn’t stop to think of the consequences, and she didn’t realize her mistake but tried to control the Monkey’s Paw by making it take back it’s ‘punishment’. Overall, when Mr. and Mrs. White used the Monkey’s Paw for themselves, they had bad consequences, but even after that, Mrs. White does not accept it and makes Mr. White wish again, trying to make the Monkey’s Paw take back the ‘punishment’. The two quotes I pulled from the text shows that when power sometimes lure people to use it selfishly.

 

 

“Thank You M’am”Found Poem

The title of this story is “Thank You M’am“, written by Langston Hughes. The conflict of my poem is man versus man (external conflict) because, In the first paragraph, the protagonist and the antagonist are having a physical conflict. My poem shows the boy snatching the purse and the women kicking him then picking up and shaking him. I chose to only add a small black and white cartoon purse because the conflict started with the boy snatching the purse, and I made it small because I didn’t want that to be the center of attention. I made the whole poem black and white and with that font, because the black and white shows the fast and firm physical conflict (it only took a few seconds for all that to happen and the women were very calm and firm when she kicked and shook the boy), and the font matches (it’s neat and easy to read (and it gives the reader an “it happened super fast” feeling). Why I DID NOT make it have a lot of colors is because I think that a fight is more “black and white” than “colorful”. Also, if I didn’t choose the coloring correctly it would come into conflict with the whole “fast action” of the poem. Overall, a black and white setting with a small black and white cartoon picture lets the actual poem stand out, and the black and white theme expresses the fast action in the poem

Chinese New Year Door Decoration?

My biggest success in making the door was drawing and cutting out the pieces of paper we are going to be sticking onto the paper. For example, the rat and the clouds were cut out really neatly and it fit onto the paper. My biggest obstacle was cutting the handle and the little circle at the bottom, and the measurements were kind of off. One thing I’d like to change is cutting out the handle and the circle at the bottom of the door. If I did this again, then I would make sure the measure everything more carefully and to add more things to the middle of the door because it looked a little blank in the middle.

Phone Holder?

 

My biggest success was the paw prints and the quote on the phone holder because the font of the text and the size of the paw prints is exactly how I want it, and the paw prints remind me of my pets

My biggest obstacle is making the front piece come out a little before dropping down. I still am unsure how to do it because when I did it I just pressed random buttons I thought would work and then it came out. For the other side, I copied it then flipped it around.

One thing I would like to change is the size of it because it is too big for my phone. If in the future I get a bigger phone or I need to put a charger, earphones of something else in it along with my phone, then it would be just right

Design Challenge! Prevent Over usage of Phone?

This is my prototype made for design. We were trying to make something to will prevent the over usage of smart phones. This prototype is in favor of both domestic animals and humans because the animals will be adopted so people will be able to use their phone. Then, hopefully, they will find out how good pets are! One success I had while doing this is the black dot and the cutting. The knife I used was really sharp and the cardboard is really thin so when I cut it it was really easy. A obstacle I faced is when i wanted to curve the cardboard, it ripped so i had to cut another one.

 

 

Product Design- New Invention!

 

For my biggest success, it is the door. The door is made so that it would be where you want it to be so that its easier to manage. You don’t have to hold it since the gravity is holding it down. My biggest obstacle was cutting the six sides of the ice box because it was hard for me to cut a really clean cut, and sometimes i had to rip off some small piece to make it look better.  Cutting the cardboard needed a lot of arm strength for me, and I usually don’t workout so I have a hard time cutting a clean cut in the card board. Also, I had a hard time cutting really equal piece, so its looks really jagged. One thing i would like to change is to change the door. I would want to make the door not opening downwards, but like a regular door you see everyday. On the planning paper, it was supposed to be like a normal door, but when i was making it, i noticed that I could also make it go downwards, and since i need to hold a lot of things while i’m building, it was easier. But after the whole thing is finished, i regret making it go downwards even though it might have some stars. The impact of this product will be that people wont’ forget about the ice cream they won’t eat it once its expired.

Don’t Label Me?

ShunFei 

I am a student, older sister, and pet obsessed person. I love animals, and I spend at least one hour with my pets a day. I think animals are better than humans, mainly because they are more compassionate and they don’t care about how you look on the outside. Oversized shirts and jackets are my favorites because they are comfy and warm. The smell of the air after rain is really calming, and I would stay outside even though the mosquitoes will come get me. I’m really lazy, and loves to lie down on the stone floor in my house. The floor is cold and I like it even if it’s winter. Taking photos of my pets are one of my most favorite things to do in the world! They let me see them even when I’m on the other side of the world. Home is my favorite place to be. All my pets are there and I’m in my comfort zone. I am a really loyal friend, and I get attached to certain friends. Looking up at the sky and admiring the clouds makes me feel free. Because I am really protective of my pets, I get upset at whoever treats them like a lower class. I don’t like talking a lot during class, and watching other people have fun is really fun to me.  Don’t label me.
