Explanation:

A group discussion is a type of discussion in which there are multiple participants sharing and discussing ideas, opinions, positions about some topic or situation, this implies a communicative exchange in which each participant is able to share what they think or know, but also listen to others. Because of this for a group discussion to be fruitful and effective all the participants need to have a good attitude for sharing their opinion and perspective, but also for listening others and interacting with them including having eye contact as this will guarantee the communication flows and the objective of the group discussion is achieved. Additionally, the information exchange is not limited to only one type as group discussions can include sharing opinions, facts, artistic works, plans and other. Thus, in a group discussion, effective participants should prepare to listen and speak.

"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.
