Mr. White from “The Monkey’s Paw” by W.W. Jacobs can
be described as practical. In the story Herbert urges his
father to make a wish. Mr. White is reluctant to wish and
reflects, “It seems to me I’ve got all I want” (91). In other
words, Mr. White feels he should wish carefully since he is
content in the beginning and doesn’t want to rush into a wish.

forest, and this made him very sad because when a human being marries a bird
it always leads to sorrow. As found on page 104.
Directions: Rewrite the topic sentence and use the passage to write an ICE quote.
