Assignment #8 The Necklace

The Necklace is a story about a woman who is poor and does not have any luxaries. All she dreams about and wishes for is to have many luxaries, nice clothes, and many other expensive materialistic items. This story displays many different themes, for example one theme is to tell the truth, another may be be thankful for what you have.

As I said one theme is to tell the truth. In this story Mrs. Loisel borrows some jewlery from her wealthy friend, for a special occasion. As she is enjoying the night living her dream (to be wealthy) she does not realize she has lost the jewlery. By not telling the truth she end up wasting 10 years of her life tryingto pay back her friend. Telling te truth is a very important moral. Tellng the truth is not only good because it's the right thing to do but also it can keep you from getting into sticky situations such as one similar to the one in the story.

Be thankful for what you have. Being thankful for what you have is a very good moral. If you are not happy with what you have, how can every be thankful for anything.If you get everything you want you will never be happy, you will always want something else. If you are happy with what you have you will be a lot happier. Then when you do get more thngs it will make you just that much happier
