I think Herbert is most responsible because Mr. White didn't know what to wish for so Herbert told him to wish for 200 pounds.

I think Herbert is responsible for his death. Even though Mr. White made the first wish Herbert was the one who wanted the 200 pounds . I also think Herbert knew he was going to die when the made the first wish and the money didn't come .And when Herbert said that he shall never see the money.

Mr. White is most responsible for the harm done because,"With a slight cry White stooped down and snatched it off the fire." If Mr.White would have let the paw burn none of this would have happen. If he would have left it in the fire it would of been destroyed and none of this would have happen.

I think they are all guilty for the sorrows that resulted but I would think that Mr. White should be responsible because nothing would not have happened if he just have let the monkey's paw burn in the fire but no he just had to get the paw out and start problems by making a wish.

I think that Mr. White is responsible for the consequences that happened in the story. Mr. Morris warns him about the paw but he decides to wish anyway. He even says "It seems to me I've got all I want."

I think that Herbert is responsible for the consequences of the Monkey's Paw because he gave Mr. White the idea to wish for 200 pounds. He says "If you only cleared the house you'd be quite happy, wouldn't you? Well, wish for two hundred pounds." Herbert also says "Well, I don't see the money, an... more

I think Herbert is the most responsible for the sorrow the Monkey Paw brought. Mr. White said “I don’t know what to wish for, and that’s a fact….It seems to me I’ve got all I want” and then Herbert told him to wish for 200 pounds. So it’s really Herbert’s fault.

I think Herbert is responsible for his own death because he was the one that encouraged his father to make the wished and he also says "Well wish for 200 pounds, then; that'll just do." So that backfires on him, and he ends up dying.

I think Mr. White was the most responsible for what happened. He didn't heed the warning from Sergeant- Major Morris either. The warning was this "If you keep it, don't blame me for what happens." He also ended up grabbing it off the fire and ended up making a wish that resulted in his sons death.

I think it was Mr.White because the Sargent told him to throw it into the fire. It was also Mr.White, being the man of the house, he was the only one that could have wished on it.

I think Herbert is the most responsible for his own death. Although it was Mr.White who said the wish he had nothing to wish for. The wish was indeed Herbert's idea.

I think it is Sergeant Major Morris's fault because he was not very clear on how to wish. He did not say if you had to be clear on your wishes.

I think Herbert is responsible for the consequences including him dying because he made fun of the sergeant and the monkey's paw and didn't believe it moved in Mr.White's hand like a snake. Mr.White dropped it and Herbert made fun of Mr.White, and he ended up dying

I think that sergeant-major Morris is the most responsible for the sorrows. Because he brought the monkey paw to the White family.

I believe it would be Mr.Whites fault for everything that has happened.

I think Mr.White is most responsible. The responsibility for the consequences relies on him because he not only insulted the paw when he said,"wishes could never be granted these days" but he also abused the paw by being greedy with it. He was destined to be punished for his actions

I think Herbert is the most responsible. Cause told told his Father to wish for the money. That is why most likely he was the one who got the consequence of death. Plus i couldn't have been Mrs.White cause she said she had all she needed.

Mr. White is most responsible for the results of wishing on the monkeys paw because he was so persistent and stubborn in taking the paw even tho he "didn't know what to wish for" because "it seems to me (Mr white) I've got all I want.' if he he had all he wanted then he should not have taken the paw

I think that Herbert and Mr. White are equally responsible for Herbert's death. Morris warned them about the consequences, Mr. White knew to be careful.

The Heisenberg Uncertainty principle states that you cannot simulatenously determine the position and velocity of an electron. Any attempt to do so will "knock" the electron off its course. You see, if you want to accurately determine the location of an electron, you must observe it at a very specific moment in time, giving little to no information about its velocity. To determine its velocity, we need to look at it for a long time, thus making our determination of the location less precise. One fun thing about the double slit experiment is that if you try to observe which slit the particle goes through, then there is none of the interference that normally occurs.

Walter White

My name is Walter Hartwell White. I live at 308 Negra Arroyo Lane, Albuquerque, New Mexico, 87104. This is my confession. If you're watching this tape, I'm probably dead, murdered by my brother-in-law Hank Schrader. Hank has been building a Virtual Youtuber empire for over a year now and using me as his recruiter. Shortly after my 50th birthday, Hank came to me with a rather, shocking proposition. He asked that I use my Live2D knowledge to recruit talents, which he would then hire using his connections in the Japanese utaite world. Connections that he made through his career with Niconico. I was... astounded, I... I always thought that Hank was a very moral man and I was... thrown, confused, but I was also particularly vulnerable at the time, something he knew and took advantage of. I was reeling from a cancer diagnosis that was poised to bankrupt my family. Hank took me on a ride along, and showed me just how much money even a small indie channel could make. And I was weak. I didn't want my family to go into financial ruin so I agreed. Every day, I think back at that moment with regret. I quickly realized that I was in way over my head, and Hank had a partner, a man named Motoaki "Yagoo" Tanigo, a businessman. Hank essentially sold me into servitude to this man, and when I tried to quit, Yagoo threatened my family. I didn't know where to turn. Eventually, Hank and Yagoo had a falling out. From what I can gather, Hank was always pushing for a greater share of the business, to which Yagoo flatly refused to give him, and things escalated. Yagoo was able to arrange, uh I guess I guess you call it a "hit" on my brother-in-law, and failed, but Hank was seriously injured, and I wound up paying his medical bills which amounted to a little over $177,000. Upon recovery, Hank was bent on revenge, working with a man named Riku Tazumi , he plotted to kill Yagoo, and did so. In fact, the bomb that he used was built by me, and he gave me no option in it. I have often contemplated suicide, but I'm a coward. I wanted to go to the police, but I was frightened. Hank had risen in the ranks to become the head of the Cover Corp, and about that time, to keep me in line, he took my children from me. For 3 months he kept them. My wife, who up until that point, had no idea of my vtubing activities, was horrified to learn what I had done, why Hank had taken our children. We were scared. I was in Hell, I hated myself for what I had brought upon my family. Recently, I tried once again to quit, to end this nightmare, and in response, he gave me this. I can't take this anymore. I live in fear every day that Hank will kill me, or worse, hurt my family. I... All I could think to do was to make this video in hope that the world will finally see this man, for what he really is.

Am I the only one who thinks its Mrs. White? Because she showed interest in the paw and also she prompted Mr. White. to wish for Herbert to be back alive knowing that something bad was going to come out of it because of past experiences
