The Necklace Narrative Essay

In my opinion, dreams are beneficial when you are successful by getting paid for your job, you are successful when you get good grades, you have a car a house and get the things you want in life. However dreams are harmful when you drop out of school when you don't have money, you don't have things you want like a car or a house because your grades were really bad in school and colleages didn't accept you. In the story "The Necklace" by Guy de Maupassant, Madame Loisel has a dream for a better life, she desires to have things she cannot have, she wants money for a Necklace, a fancy house, and a dress. She will get these things by marrying someone who is rich but her husband is not rich, but he is willing to help her by getting another necklace.

In the past and present women have had to endure sexism as a part of everyday life. This is unfair and unjust to the female species. In this paper I am going to be talking about some of the issues of sexism and how they affect women. Some of the issues I will be talking about are the white males club and how non-membership effects women. What are the benefits of having a membership to it.

What types of problems women are experiencing. These are the issues we will be discussing in this paper. The first issue we will be discussing in this paper is the

The film that I chose to write about is a Paramount Pictures presentation titled Mean Girls, starring Lindsay Lohan and also featuring a handful of Saturday Night Live cast members, including Tina Fey the author of this picture. The reason behind choosing this film is because it has a unique style of introducing characters, transitioning between scenes, and various tools to help spice up the film. Being one of my personal favorites, Mean Girls is a comedy about a home schooled teenage girl who enters high school for the first time. She tries to figure herself out by where she can fit in and who she needs to become friends with.

‘The Necklace’ is a morality tale written by Guy de Maupassant where he portrays the life of a beautiful but dissatisfied girl named Mathilde who desires to live a luxurious life despite being born into a clerk’s family and marrying a clerk too. Mathilde’s discontentment in life instigates her to pretend someone rich that she is not. Moreover, it leads her to severe trouble that caused ten years of hardship to Mathilde and her husband. So, this suffering is a punishment for Mathilde which taught her a lesson and changed her dramatically over the course of the story by making her a person of completely different personality for whom appearances

          Girls Like Us is an intimate portrayal concerning four girls who grew up all with different ethnic backgrounds and various forms of parental guidence. Anna Chau is Vietnames with strict parents and good beliefs, Lisa Bronca is a Caucasion Catholic, De'Yonna Moore is African-American with strong goals who lives with her Grandma and Raelene Cox is a young white girl who comes from a broken home with little parental guidence. Girls Like Us shows examples of structural functionism, and conflict theory, as well as symbolic interactionalism. This movie really intersted me because I actually got to see each of these girls grow up. This film

After the American Revolution, the colonies are now combined together and they must create a government that will satisfy the nation’s needs. This leads to the beginning of republicanism, where people are sovereign. However, the laws that were created after the revolution discriminated against several groups of people and this included women. Many women played a huge role in constructing the new nation but they were legally dead in the eyes of the law. Hence, the American Revolution was least revolutionary for women.

The book Girl, Interrupted is about a teenage girl Susanna Kaysen. At the age of 18 she voluntarily sent herself to the McLean hospital. In the beginning of the book the Susanna was talking to a psychiatrist she has been seeing for awhile, she has had a couple of suicide attempts so she started seeing that doctor. The doctor had recommended Susanna to go to McLean to help her be anti-depressive and help cure her borderline personality. Susanna ended up being in the hospital for 2 years.

The physical body has been seen as many things both positive and negative. It can be thought of as the temple which houses the soul or can be seen as entrapping, like a cage of flesh. More often it seems that the body, especially women’s bodies, are looked at in more complicated ways than the bodies of men. As I grew up, it began to feel more and more like my body, and the bodies of other women, did not actually belong to us like we believed. Through my Women’s Studies class I have gained more knowledge on the body as a political object. In this essay I will examine six different articles with the similar theme of women’s bodies, the expression of those bodies and how by using feminism as a political standpoint they gain power and ownership of their bodies.

On August 31, 1997, The beautiful Princess Diana died from a tragic car accident in Paris, France. The loss was devastating to many around the world and millions of flowers were laid before Buckingham Palace. Her life had changed how royalty was viewed and how media and paparazzi worked, especially in the UK, and that change only sped up after the accident. And just like how society went through a change after Princess Diana's death, Mme. Mathilde Loisel of Guy de Maupassant's The Necklace underwent the change after the death of her current lifestyle. Mme. Loisel had lost a borrowed necklace that had been lent to her for a ball. She and her husband were able to replace it without the owner finding out, but it cost them 10 years of poverty and labor to do so. Mme. Loisel had lost everything, and she came to appreciate what she had, because she didn't have it forever.

For this assignment, I chose the movie Girl, Interrupted starring Winona Ryder, Angelina Jolie, and Whoppie Goldberg. It is set in the 1960’s and is about a young woman, Susanna Kaysen, who is diagnosis with borderline personality disorder. In the beginning the movie, she’d attempted suicide using aspirin and vodka, though she insists she just had a headache for most of movie. She is persuaded to go to a nearby mental hospital, Claymore, where she begins her stay and treatment. In the facility, she meets quite a few other young women with different issues as well. An anorexic, a compulsive liar, a sociopath, and a disfigured woman with the mental age of a much younger child. While Susanna initially dismisses the diagnosis, she does display

Annette Bair and Marilyn Friedman have opposing views on whether women have distinct moral perspectives. Like Friedman, I believe that women have no different moral perspectives than men. Some people, like Bair, think that women base their moral perspectives on merely trust and love and men base theirs on justice. Friedman points out that care and justice coincide . People use justice to decide what is appropriate in caring relationships and care is brought into account when determining what is just. Since these two moral perspectives correspond, gender does not distinguish different moral perspectives.

In the elusive yet surprising short story “The Necklace” by Guy de Maupassant, Madame Loisel displays a multitude of signs which signify that she is a psychopath. One immense sign which ultimately resembles psychopathy, is the intent and physical action to murder/hurt somebody due to a seemingly insignificant reason. After hearing that her husband was supposedly “leaving her”(3), she continued to get the leg of lamb even after her husband said “I'm not hungry” (3). While she was walking back up the stairs she “swung the big frozen leg of lamb at him… so I’ve killed him” (3).

     For many years society has embraced the idea that the difference between men and women were biologically determined. Thou through traditions, media, and peers we act accordingly to how others view us. Each individual has pressure placed upon them based on their gender. Our sex is determined by genetics while our gender is programmed by social customs. Some theories interpret that a women is tender and a loving mother while on the other hand men are aggressive hunters and are the dominant one of the family. People who support this theory seems to believe that men and women are happier when fulfilling the roles nature determined for them. Women are to be nurturing and men are to be providers by

In the United States, our concept of gender, and the differences between men and women, have deep traditional roots. Men are supposed to be strong individuals, who support and defend their families. Women are seen as nurturing, and motherly, more gentle and tame. We believe so strongly that the two genders are entirely separate, with such completely different traits, that it almost seems that men and women are just born with different qualities.
