Outsiders Are Misunderstood

Mathilde finds herself dissatisfied with her life. She craves for riches and glamour. Instead of appreciating what she has, Mathilde craves for jewels and high class commodities. One day, her husband receives an invitation to a formal party, which would give Mathilde a chance to experience the luxuries of high society. However, she seems upset because she does not own a formal dress to wear to the ball. Mathilde’s husband feels compassion for her and gives her his savings to buy a new and elegant dress. The night before the ball, we noticed Mathilde’s greed when she complains that she has no ornament to put on. She arrogantly tells her husband, “It's so mortifying to look poverty-stricken among women who are rich” (Maupassant). For this reason, he then advises her to borrow some jewelry from her friend, Madam Forestier. Blinded by greed, Mathilde follows her husband’s advice and borrows what looks like a diamond necklace. At the ball, she has a great time. However, when she and her husband get home, she realizes she has lost the diamond necklace. Worried by the consequences of losing a diamond necklace, Mathilde’s husband decides to buy a new necklace by using his inheritance, getting loans, and borrowing money from acquaintances. They return the necklace to Madam Forestier and focus on paying their debt. After 10 years of hard labor and misery, they eventually pay all their debts. At the end of the short story, Mathilde finds out that the diamond necklace she borrowed was fake. Ultimately, we see how greed drove Mathilde to misery and

She panicked as Monsieur tried looking for it, they fail and try to think of what to do. So they think of replacing the necklace with a similar looking one, but the replica, cost 36,000 francs, same amount in U.S dollars, but can't buy up front, what do they do, paying it once in a while. The dept lasted 10 harsh years for Monsieur and Madame, they risked their lives, shot the self in the foot basically and when finished. Madame confest to her friend that they have lost the necklace and replaced it, also how hard it was for them. What does her friend say, oh darling that was simply a knockoff, at least 500 francs? “The Necklace” written by  Guy de Maupassant (1884).

Have you ever just sat in bed thinking of how other people feel about being an insider or outsider? From reading this book I have gotten a better understanding of how people feel being an outsider, in this book the greasers are formed as the outsiders. They have the other greaser friends so they don’t feel as left out but I’m sure they feel like they don’t fit in. Another example could be at school and not have many friends. He or she could feel left out like they don’t belong or that no one will ever include them. From my understanding outsiders are people who aren’t considered considered “popular” and that aren’t in the main group at school or something else or doesn’t fit into a particular group, they could be happy they don’t belong in

Outsiders unfortunately are most everywhere, but do they possess a value to our society? Some might believe they do not because after all they have been outcast for a reason. Some may also think that they do have values like their opinions, their views on change, or their perspective on a current situation because in a way they are in ways just like you and me. Often in many cases outsiders are valuable to society.

Outsiders are those who are simply just misunderstood. Often people who are misunderstood are seen differently because others just don’t understand. Like in the story “The Metamorphosis” by Franz Kafka, Gregor was misunderstood because he was morphed into a bug. The Kelevy’s in “The Doll’s House” by Katherine Mansfield were misunderstood because of their social status. Another story where someone is misunderstood is Boo Radley in “To Kill a Mockingbird” by Harper Lee.

Outsiders have value in society because no matter how weird you are you still have the ability to help others. Take for example, somebody might be able to help with heavy lifting , like carrying groceries. This could be an outsider. Some people might argue saying it doesn’t have to be an outside doing that. In other words, an insider can carry groceries. While that might be true, sometimes

Firstly, an outsider is defined as a person who does not belong to a particular group. The category that someone may or may not fit into can depend on many factors that make the individual unique. Often times, the people that do not fit into common cliques are considered outsiders, even though they most likely fall into numerous other crowds. Therefore, outsiders are misjudged as socially awkward and relatively quiet people.

Unfortunately, Mathilde misplaces the necklace, which causes her and her husband to buy a costly replicate necklace. This pushes them into a life of poverty, and it is revealed ten years later that Madame Forestier's necklace was simply an imitation. In "The Necklace",

What I think an Outsider is a person that does not fit in society and people think that are not accepted. There are some kids at school that are like that they will always be sitting by them self. What i think the author meant by the title is that greasers were not like by society that much. I remember when i would travel to big cities there were certain types of people that were not accepted in that part of the world, And they are treated differently by everyone and they can not go to school or get a job.

Just how weird or strange are humans? You think of the outcasts in society and wonder just why are they considered outsiders. Are they really outcast or are they simply just misunderstood human beings. Some of our most brilliant people in the world were outcasts and strange, but overall they were seen as downright weird. Why do humans have to name these people we do not understand? We sometimes think of outsiders as people with mental disorders ,but many people with these disorders are geniuses such as Lewis Carroll. Outsiders are simple misunderstood people because most of them are geniuses.

My definition of an "outsider" is someone who is often socially awkward and usually don't know how to talk or contact with people. When they do, it doesn't always come out right. And in some cases due to their socially awkwardness, some people don't welcome them into their circle of friends. Sometimes, they aren't welcomed at all to any social group. However, they can form groups consisting of all "outsiders" and this would be called a gang. Not all are them are bad or as others may say they are. But, there are in cases when they have gone to negative ways to get a result. Sometimes they just want to be accepted but life isn't always easy, and that is their challenge, it is hard for them to be accepted into a circle of friends. This could be

“The Necklace,” by Guy de Maupassant, is set in old-age France, at that time wealth is very important, and social class was even more. France that time was a city ruled by classicism, where one had to be introduced into society no matter, their beauty, income, or grace. The story is about a young and beautiful middle class woman who wanted to be a part of the upper-class society through her husband and her rich friend but ends up destroying her life in vain. One day she received an invitation to a ball, she buys a new dress and borrows a necklace from her friend, and after the ball she found out that she had lost the necklace. She is not able to admit the error to the friend who lent it, so she borrowed monies from friends, family and loan sharks to buy a matching replacement. While spending 10 years in poverty, toiling to repay the debt of replacing the necklace, she bumped into an old friend and found out that the necklace was costume jewelry.

Now consider the role of Mathilde Loisel in “The Necklace”. She constantly grieves about her simple life and fantasizes about extravagant life style with rich people and food surrounding her. Her husband is a simple man and is satisfied with his life. He appreciates her for the food which is cooked and never complains. Being in the Ministry of Education their lifestyle is modest. Mathilde is not satisfied on the other hand even when her husband proudly announces that they have been invited at a formal party held by the Ministry of Education. The irony in the story is more or less the same with regard to the female characters. Mathilde cries and gets her prize in the form of a dress but she is never satisfied. She wants jewelry as well. The necklace that she borrows from Madame Forestier teaches her a lesson of life. Since she is not familiar with the real jewelry she picks the cheapest one from her collection and wears it to the party why she loses it. Upon not finding the jewelry her husband takes the pain of selling everything out just to purchase an identical necklace worth 40,000 francs which leaves them poverty stricken for the next ten years during which her husband does three jobs and

When Madame Loisel’s husband receives an invitation to a ball thrown by the ministry, Madame Loisel is feeling sad because she does not have the proper outfit for the event. “Instead of being delighted, as her husband had hoped, she threw the invitation spitefully on the table with disdain, murmuring.”(pg 2) Despite being invited to such a great event she feels she cannot attend. Due to not having a glamorous dress like all the other women who will be attending the event. Her husband than feels bad for his wife and decides to give her his savings in order to purchase a new dress. She then wants the perfect necklace to

The short story “The Necklace” is a very inspiring and it depicts reality. It is about a pretty woman (Madame Mathilde) of low social status that feels unsatisfied with her husband and her life. When she was little, she always imagined herself in a high social position with wonderful jewels. Her husband to pleased her, bought her tickets to go to a social event and used his savings to buy her a fancy dress. However, she wasn’t happy because she didn’t have any jewelry to wear and no money to buy anything. Her husband tells her to borrow a necklace from her friend but than she lost it. The irony of this story is that Madame Mathilde and her husband gave up so much of their lives to pay for the necklace that they borrowed and lost because it
