Paul struggles with anxiety. He knows his mother is stressed about money and he knows that stress affects her love for him and his sisters. Her stress is passed on to him. He believes if he can "get there" on the rocking horse, he can predict the winner of the race and help bring some money to his family so that his mother will love him. Sadly, this behavior ultimately makes him ill and causes his death.

Paul's Uncle struggles to help his nephew -- however, he is also motivated by his own greed and love for gambling. He knows Paul is hurting himself but continues to allow Paul to behave this way so that he can benefit from Paul's visions. Being already rich himself, Oscar has no need to gamble and get more money. His greed and love for gambling contribute to Paul's death.

Here is a summary for this story ...I hope helps

In "'The Rocking-Horse Winner" D. H. Lawrence talks about a woman who dreams of living a luxurious lifestyle that she cannot afford. She lives in a modest house with her husband and her three children. One day Hester's son Paul asks her what makes some people lucky and she tells him that people with luck are the ones who make lots of money; which Paul's father is unlucky because no matter how hard he tries, he can't make enough money. Paul discovers that when he rides his rocking horse long enough, he is able to know what the winning racehorse will be and using this knowledge, he asks Bassett, the family gardener, to help him place bets and hold onto his winnings.Uncle Oscar discovers Paul's gambling scheme and joins in as a partner too. Hester grows concerned about Paul's health and she plans to send Paul to the seaside to recover, but Paul convinces her to let him stay until after the Derby Stakes race.

Read this paragraph from chapter 5 of the prince. there are, for example, the spartans and the romans. the spartans held athens and thebes, establishing there an oligarchy: nevertheless they lost them. the romans, in order to hold capua, carthage, and numantia, dismantled them, and did not lose them. they wished to hold greece as the spartans held it, making it free and permitting its laws, and did not succeed. so to hold it they were compelled to dismantle many cities in the country, for in truth there is no safe way to retain them otherwise than by ruining them. and he who becomes master of a city accustomed to freedom and does not destroy it, may expect to be destroyed by it, for in rebellion it has always the watchword of liberty and its ancient privileges as a rallying point, which neither time nor benefits will ever cause it to forget. and whatever you may do or provide against, they never forget that name or their privileges unless they are disunited or dispersed, but at every chance they immediately rally to them, as pisa after the hundred years she had been held in bondage by the florentines. what idea is stressed in the passage? the desire for liberty the establishment of an oligarchy the dismantling of an acquired state the tendency toward rebellion

What type of writing is demonstrated in this excerpt by general philip henry sheridan? at once i set about preparing for the examination which precedes admission to the military academy, studying zealously under the direction of mr. william clark; my old teachers, mcnanly and thorn, having disappeared from somerset and sought new fields of usefulness. the intervening months passed rapidly away, and i fear that i did not make much progress, yet i thought i should be able to pass the preliminary examination. that which was to follow worried me more and gave me many sleepless nights; but these would have been less in number, i fully believe, had it not been for one specification of my, outfit which the circular that accompanied my appointment demanded. this requirement was a pair of "monroe shoes." now, out in ohio, what "monroe shoes" were was a mystery—not a shoemaker in my section having so much as an inkling of the construction of the perplexing things, until finally my eldest brother brought an idea of them from baltimore, when it was found that they were a familiar pattern under another name. a. research essay b. persuasive essay c. biography d. memoir
