The necklace is a short story that is based off a girl that has nothing. Madame Mathilde Loisel, the main character wishes that she was this rich girl that got everything she wanted, with cute and good looking things. Beautiful Mathilde, desires that her life would be different than how it is now. But to Mathilde that is something she knows is impossible to have. Owning just one fantastic thing would be astonishing to Mathilde. Things get her jealous at times but what happens to her changes everything and makes her think. Throughout "The Necklace" there is a huge lesson taught and things like this can happen in real life to other people, which sometimes do. There are numerous connections made with an understanding that she eventually realizes. Mathilde learns so much and realizes at the end what she does wrong.
Mathilde learns a valuable lesson in this story. First gets invited to a ball, she becomes very upset, there’s nothing for her to wear so her husband Monsieur Loisel offers to buy her a new dress. But afterward she has absolutely no jewelry to wear and Mathilde thinks that going to an event like this is something you need to have some type of jewelry for. "Monsieur suggests that she can maybe borrow one of her friends jewelry." So she asks her rich friend Madame Loisel and she is totally okay with it, here’s no problem with it for her. Her friend lets her choose from all the jewelry that she has and Loisel picks out a really pretty necklace that that looks real buy really ends up being is fake. She goes to the ball and leaves with the necklace not one her, panics and loses control with nothing to do but look for it. She goes to a store and asks the clerk how much it was worth and that was 10,000 dollars, so for the next 10 years Mathide pays it off and gets Madme Loisel the necklace a brand new necklace." But what she ends up finding out is, the necklace was fake all along. This lesson taught is one of the most important events in The Necklace. Mathide knows that she should gave gone to Madme right after she lost it but at the same time it might have been a good thing that she didn’t because then she wouldn’t of learned from her mistake. When you borrow something from someone else you’re not as watchful. As frightful as Mathide was she still came to a sulution and solved the problem.
Lots of people go through the same situation as Mathide and the characters in this story make a good point. The Necklace is about a person that is poor with nothing and struggling to stay saticfied in her every day life. But borrowing something from someone else then losing it happens in real life, and losing a valuable item can teach you a lesson. If you don't lose the item that you borrowed it could make you think that borrowing stuff from other people is okay all the time. That can turn out in being a bad thing because then that person might take the other person for granted.
Good job Jessica, I really liked you word choice, and you actually made me think about borrowing and being more careful next time. The only thing that I would suggest would be to proof read a little more, there were just some small errors. Other than that you had a great piece.
