1. How Is Mathilde Loisel Described?
How is Mathilde Loisel described? How does this affect your opinion of her?

She is described as whiny and the host of her own pity party. From the beginning my opinion of her goes down because of the way she is acting even though I think some of how she acts is from society.

What is Madame Loisel’s attitude toward honesty? What would change about her situation and life if she were more honest?

“What they dont know wont hurt em’ “ is probably her favorite phrase. If she was more honest she probably would of saved 10 years of hard work but honestly it was probably good for her to realise the life she really had before.

The author states that Madame Loisel “played her part heroically” in paying of her debt. Do you agree or disagree with

    Madam Loisel Research Paper

    She sees and has realized that having someone you love, love you back unconditionally is much more rewarding than having a diamond necklace or a big, over the top, fancy dress while Madam Loisel is sitting on her window seat sulking and complaining about all the things she doesn’t have. Nothing is ever good enough for her and she just wants more and more. She doesn’t seem to appreciate any of the many things her husband does for her, and how much he truly loves her. She doesn’t take the time and look at the things she has to be grateful for in her life, making her so much more ungrateful than…

    Sister Flowers by Maya Angelou

    This story has so many topics to touch on yet it’s only five pages in my textbook. And not only were the topics intertwined with one another, they all came together to help out Marguerite with one of her many life lessons, confidence. Not everyone would agree with me that this reading had to do with confidence, but it’s what I related to with the writer. It’s like she wrote a small passage of my life from my younger years. That feeling of being scared in front of others, when one is put on the spot. The thought of rejection from someone, who peaks your interest. The little hints you look for from others to get a sense of acceptance. As a kid, these were things I struggled with as well. These are subjects that were not taught plainly at school. We have to learn some things, through ordinary life lessons, that don’t come with a book. That’s where you learn things that aren’t taught by…

    On the other hand there is Madame Loisel, which is a character that just feels that it is her duty to be what the society expects of all women. She feels that she has to be in the high class, that she is worth a lot and that all because of her beauty should adore her. She also had an opinion that if she wants something she has to get it or it is the end of the world.

    Cleofilas Struggle With Domestic Violence

    She is a woman who isolates herself from her community with other because she doesn’t speak english. She isn’t from this country she’s an immigrant who doesn’t really know much yet and has trouble understanding people. I wish Cleofilas had left her husband, she would’ve been in a better happy place. I just didn’t like how she compared herself to shows because the problems that she watches affects her. It affects her because she has ways of imagining and proving that it relates to her situations. Her child is a way of making her happy in her life, she cares about her child and wants the best for it. I don’t like to see a woman like this cry so much in tears because of the way they’re struggling each day. She had bruises all over her body while being pregnant which is so heartbreaking to think about. Domestic violence still exists at this generation, there’s need to be a stop for this. People who are victims of violence should indeed have ways into getting help. People will succeed and there life will change once getting help. It’s a way to change yourself in a happier way and the society as…

    Millicent, Jessie, and Stanford were all caught up in a web of lies, whether they were being lied to or they were the ones lying. After trial and error, they all discovered dishonesty does not work out in the end. Telling the truth, no matter how difficult it is, leads to a stronger and more honest relationship rather than a misleading relationship. They discovered that the easy route is not always the best way to go. Telling the truth helped them become better people, family members, and friends. Since they lied, they made people reassess what they knew about each other. Lying leads to confusion.…

    ways we lie

    The first lie that she debates is the white lie; it is inoffensively telling an untruth so that no hurt is done by telling the reality. Some individuals will feel disappointed, frustrated, or upset if the words from other people aren’t the wanted words that these people expected. But everything has consequences, in some cases a white lie helps in others not all depends on the point of view of the beholder. As the example of that is the Vietnam case, it is true family did not go hungry but they always kept their hopes alive,…

Instead, she let herself marry a clerk in the Ministry of Education. Massupassant shows her feelings and expensive taste when he says, “She suffered endlessly, feeling herself born for every delicacy and luxury. She suffered from the poorness of her house, from its mean walls, worn chairs, and ugly curtains.”…

    Most people tend to want more objects than others based on their own personal decisions they make. In “the Necklace’’ by Guy Maupassant, Madame Loisel has very low self-esteem and tries to get everyone’s approval in her life decisions. In ‘’How Much Land Does a Man Need?” by Leo Tolstoy, Pahom starts buying land and then becomes greedy wanting more land to own for himself. In “How much Land Does a Man Need?” and “The Necklace”, both characters start to be greedy and want more which makes them learn a valuable lesson from their previous decisions. Additionally, Madame Loisel wants to make people respect her based on the things she doesn’t have which puts her in a position where she has to pay for the previous decisions she made. This demonstrates my thesis because Madame Loisel doesn’t appreciate the things she has being in a middle class, so she ends up in a lower class because she was struck on trying to get what everyone had and didn’t focus on what she had in the beginning. The story states that ‘’she was unhappy as through she had married beneath her ; for women have no caste or class, their beauty , grace, and charm serving them for birth . . . . . Put the slum on a level with the highest lady in the land “(Maupassant 1). Madame Loisel wasn’t with the things she could get so with that being said she wanted to get the things others got in order to be seen as one of them and then receiving their approval. Since it shows why she became so greedy and her constant greediness ended up hurting her in the end. Furthermore, Pahom began to become determined to own the most land so he started buying all the land he could possibly find. His greediness of steady wanting more land ended being the very thing that killed him. Sometimes it’s best to best to have just enough because having too much is not always good all the time. An…
