Explanation:

The question is not complete the excerpt of reference is missing, this is the excerpt:

Read this excerpt from "A 400-Year-Old Woman" in The Writer and Her Work by Bharati Mukherjee and answer the question. Yet my imaginative home is also in the tales told by my mother and grandmother... For all the hope and energy I have placed in the process of immigration and accommodation – I’m a person who couldn’t ride a public bus when she first arrived, and now I’m someone who watches tractor pulls on obscure cable channels – there are parts of me that remain Indian.

This excerpt uses satire - a literary device that writers use to criticize the foolish acts of the characters or the whole society - as the narrator criticizes herself for becoming familiar with the American way of life, by comparing her old self with her new self she humorously makes fun of the new habits she has got that are not Indian at all.

that is the answer

"the monkey's paw" is a rare story in that the theme is actually stated in the story. sgt. maj. morris tells the whites that the old fakir who put the spell on the paw said, "fate rules people's lives and those who interfere with fate do so to their sorrow." the message is a warning, but mr. white doesn't believe it. even though sgt. maj. morris makes it clear that he tried wishing with unfortunate results and he tries to throw the paw on the fire,   mr. white makes a wish for 200 pounds only to find that he receives the money when herbert dies in a factory accident. according to the fakir, then, because mr. white had wished for something he should not have had, his son lost his life.

the second wish that mrs. white encourages him to make is for herbert's return--one week after his death. when the strange knocking begins at the door during the windy night, mr. white panicks, believing that the previously dead but still mangled herbert could have walked home from the cemetary and is now at the door. because he fears what his wife will find if she opens the door, mr. white makes his third wish--for the noise to stop.

therefore, he uses his three wishes and to his sorrow, loses his son and disappoints his wife, who fervently believed that their son was at the door. she wanted him back, regardless of his condition.
