It´s clear that the boy is so stressed by his mom and dad arguing, that he just wishes his dad out of his life so that his mom will stop thrash talking his dad, and therefore he forgot his compass. The father probably just forgot his compass since he hasn´t been able to relate to his son following the divorce.

Cordelia went against her father by defending her answer through reasoning that if her sisters love their father with all their hearts, they do not give any love to their husbands.

In W.W Jacob’s short story “The Monkey’s Paw,” there are many instances of foreshadowing in order to keep readers engaged and on the edge of their seats.

Therefore he beat him up until his mom jumped in his place and got beat up instead, she would do anything for her children.
