The story I chose is "The Monkey's Paw" by W. W. Jacobs. I decided to write about this short story because I have read this story a few years ago and really enjoyed it and it also fits well into the class theme. I haven't re-read it yet but the basic plot is that a couple gets a hold of a ancient monkeys paw which is said to have special powers and grant 3 wishes. But the wishes do not come out to be the way they expect and you should always be careful what you wish for. There is a wikipedia site for the story, and a film but I could not find other really useful links for the story. I'm still debating which approach I plan on using, I will figure it out when I re-read the story and research them a little more on wikipedia.
