11-22-11 Monkey Paw

This short story takes about a family who gets a talisman from a friend who just gat back from India. Within the story there are three parts, the first one talks about the family getting this talisman called the monkeys paw. Part two talks about how the first wish that was made which is for two hundred pounds cames true. The final and third part talks about how the last two wishes effect the two remaining characters. I think the main message of the story is that for every action which would be the wishes the is and equal and opposite reaction. In the story that would be when herbert the son of the older couple wishes for the money and that money comes when he is maimed by a machine and the company that he works for pays the money.
