If you had three wishes, what would you wish for? This may
be a fantasy to some people, but in these two mystical
stories, it comes to life starting with just two words, I
WISH…… Many similarities and differences occur in both
Monkey’s Paw, By W. W. Jacobs, and Aladdin, By Disney. In
“Monkeys Paw” and “Aladdin”, both stories display
characters wishing for their life to become better. In the
“Monkey’s Paw”, Mr. White was “hypnotized” by the idea of
being granted three wishes. However, he did not know that
those three wishes would lead his life to terrible
misfortune. In “Aladdin”, a genie comes upon a young street
rat, Aladdin, and offers him three wishes. Although, this
was tempting to Aladdin, he later finds out that those three
wishes cause him trouble and mischief with a dazzling
princess that needs to marry, Jasmine. In the end, each
character in both stories learn a valuable lesson that will

dictate how they live their life.

they both wish for a rich life
style. “I wish for five hundred
dollars, Mr. White said very
clearly.” Aladdin requested,
“Genie, I wish to be a prince.”
However, Mr. White wishes for
physical money, and Aladdin
wishes to be a prince which
would make him rich.

Monkey’s Paw 3rd Wish
Aladdin’s 3rd Wish
Monkey’s Paw 3rd Wish
Wished genie free
Mr. White wished for the
knocking on the front door to
stop
These two wishes are not similar
because Aladdin’s wish brings
joy by keeping his promise to
free the genie and Mr. White’s
wish brings sorrow because he
does not listen to his wife and he
wishes his son away.
