Question

Summary of
"The wish" by
Roald Dahl.​

Answer 1

Answer:

In the Roald Dahl canon, the short story "The Wish" is nothing exceptional. A young boy ponders a patterned carpet between him and the front door of his house. His imagination runs wild: He decides that the carpet's red patches are hot coals and its black patches are writhing, poisonous snakes.

Answer 2

Answer:

In "The Wish," a boy uses his imagination to travel across a red, black, and yellow carpet that he pretends has treacherous parts, motivating himself with the fantasy of receiving a puppy if he is successful. The child's point of view is more interesting and effective than the narrator's, because it is vivid and suspenseful. The story is primarily about self-confidence overcoming fear rather than about greed.
