Imagine a life were you are a single man with 13 children running around your house. This poor man in “Godfather Death” lives that awful life. “Godfather Death” demonstrates the life changing decisions that we go through every day.
The man in this story has to make a life changing decision. Since he clearly has way too many children, he makes a choice of having a godfather. He gets the incredible choice of having God as his godfather. However, he rejected Him! He claims that God gives to the rich and lets the poor starve. Could he have different beliefs? Maybe he doesn’t believe in God or maybe he doesn’t have a loyal religion. His beliefs are to treat everyman equal, rich or poor. When he meets the Devil he immediately says no because even though he may not believe in God, he knows that the Devil is bad. The person he finally meets is Death. He chooses Death as his godfather. Well he knows that Death treats every man equally. In other words, when he kills people he doesn’t give special treatments to certain people. This choice backfired on the man because Death ends up killing him.
Everyone in their lifetime gets a life changing decision and “Godfather Death” proves that. Life will throw a ton of decisions at you so make sure you make the right choice or you will end up like the man is the tall-tale.

"The Monkey's Paw
Imagine being given three wishes and then picking what to wish for. In “The Monkey’s Paw” Mr. White gets this precious opportunity. “The Monkey’s Paw” describes the advantages and disadvantages of having three wishes.
“I wish for two hundred pounds!” This was Mr. White’s first wish. This would probably be one of the most common wishes of all time. Wishing for money is a very selfish wish and very common one. However, 200 dollars today isn’t that much money. That’s how you knew that this story was made a long time ago.
After that selfish wish then comes a good smart one. Which is exactly what Mr. White does in “The Monkey’s Paw.” This old man wishes for his son’s life back because his son was dead. This is the wish that the person makes for someone else. Usually people make this wish because they learn a lesson from the first selfish wish. Which is exactly what Mr. White did.
For some extremely odd reason Mr. White makes a wish that is life changing just like his second command. Mr. White wishes his son dead. He makes this wish because after he wished for his son back he realized something. He noticed that his wife loved his son more than him. When Mrs. White heard a knock on the door she sprinted down stairs and found out that her son disappeared. She loved him more than anyone and that is exactly why Mr. White had to wish for his son to be dead.
There are many disadvantages and advantages to having three wishes and that is shown in “The Monkey’s Paw.” If you happen to get the chance of having three wishes make sure you pick them carefully or you could turn into Mr. White.
