The Locket Analysis

From Aristotle to John Locke to Thomas Jefferson, the ideas of great philosophers influenced the foundations of the United States. When Jefferson began writing the Declaration of Independence, he wanted to make this new country based on the basic fundamentals. He wanted to base the country on what was considered the natural laws. Jefferson had many philosophical minds to ponder when writing the document, such as Aristotle and most importantly John Locke.

The locket is a great short story. It is well developed, unified and coherent. Its inspiring and touching and moving. Kate Chopin is a great author with well thought out ideas and creative writing. The ending in The Locket didn't surprise me. The author Chopin was foreshadowing through out the whole story. When Edmond came back to find Octavie, and lost the locket, is was predictable. One, By the amount of love he showed for her. To make sure she knew how much she loved him. Two,

Four confederate soldiers where talking over the fire while waiting for orders from Edmond. Edmond had on a necklace and the other soldiers noticed and asked about it. Edmond told them it was a catholic token to protect him from danger, and it has protected him the whole time he's been at war. He told them that Octavia had given it to him. The locket contained a picture of he parents and the date they were married. Later that evening war broke out and a clergyman walked into the aftermath of the war trying to save the souls of people that may be alive. He saw a soldier with a locket and tore it away from him. He sent the locket with a letter to whoever was closest to the person that the locket belonged to.

In the beginning Edmond was a highly ranked soldier and was untouchable throughout the entire war. When one of the other soldiers found out that his way of staying alive might be because of his locket they stole it and wore it so that he wouldn’t die.

Many people travel to the “free land” because of the so-called American dream, which promised prosperity and an affordable living. Everyone wanted John Locke’s “Life, Liberty, and Property”. For some, like the white population, it came easy. For others, like immigrants and Black Americans it was a constant struggle. Laws put in place and rigged elections, to take away any power and say in the government. Many murdered because they were the scapegoats to all crime and murdered due to a bizarre racial hatred or simply for sport. Therefore, when Black Americans are stripped of Liberty and have their Life taken from them, Property is one of the only things they can control and protect. Coming from being someone’s property to actually owning it, is a sign of progress and class. It is a reason to be proud and feel accomplished. Housing was important during the segregation and migration period because, it represented wealth and living on a more equal playing field with the white population.

Since it is only the dead who go free from here, I must take place of the dead!’” (Dumas 80). Edmond thinks of taking the place of the abbe Faria, which freed him from prison. This further authenticate Edmond being perseverant and patient, showing how he pushes through obstacles presented to him no matter what. One could say that Into Thin Air had no perseverance

When Edmond is sent to the political prison, prison where people are sent because the upper class are ashamed of them, he has a long time to plan out his revenge. The way he decided to go through with his revenge was brilliant and very well played

When I was reading “The Locket” I was introduced to Edmond. Edmond is a confederate soldier and Octavie’s lover. While reading, I was lead to believe that Edmond was dead. The priest found a young man with the locket that Octavie once gave to Edmond. That’s when I thought that was the end of Edmond.

He helps Edmond discover who truly betrayed him, he also tells Edmond about a treasure that could be his when he got out of jail. When Abbe Faria dies Edmond carefully escapes. He soon finds the treasure that Abbe Faria once spoke of. This gives him a

The Locket was a very interesting short story and my interest was held all the way until the very last sentence. I was very surprised with the ending. I believed Edmund was dead amongst the other soldiers on that hill. The story never explained that some men or one man escaped the ambush. So when the locket was returned to Octavie, I believed it was off of Edmond's body. It was very surprising that nobody from Edmonds family told her that he had survived or even returned until the very end.

Some days later, Octavie receives her locket back, and a letter from the priest, in which there was probably a description of how Edmond’s body was found, most likely with words of remorse and courage from the priest. At this point Octavie is wondering whether she should continue living with her love dead. While going on a morning carriage ride with Edmond’s father, she is wondering why his father is so optimistic knowing that his son is dead, only to later find herself being wrong, and Edmond being alive. Edmond admits during their reunion that he believed the locket to have been lost and then stolen in battle, and he didn't know the identity of the soldier, but was

The conclusion of “The Locket” was a surprise. It appeared that Edmond had been killed in the battle. There would have been no reason for anyone to question whether it was truly him or not. Soldiers die in battle all the time. All evidence indicates that it must be Edmond. First, the soldier had the locket that Octavie had given Edmond around his neck. Second, Octavie was in mourning over her dead lover. Third, the idea of the locket being stolen wasn’t revealed until the end of the story.

The ending of the book was very disappointing to me. I really enjoyed reading about how his mother was in pure denial and wanted to keep her son near her forever and how his father knew how hard it would be but he also knew that

It was the Founding Fathers’ view of power that led them to declare their independence from Britain. When the French and Indian War ended, Britain gained a large amount of territory which costed a large sum of money to defend from trespassers. Consequently, Parliament started to tax the colonists without their consent. This unbalance of power caused tensions between Britain and the original 13 colonies. Therefore, the Founding Fathers decided that power should be distributed equally amongst the people and that government should be limited. These views were only strengthened when John Locke wrote “The Second Treatise of Civil Government”, which discussed natural rights, consent of the governed, and limited government. Many of the ideas of John Locke were widely accepted and used by the Founding Fathers, specifically Thomas Jefferson. In the Declaration of independence, Jefferson altered Locke’s phrase “life, liberty, and property” into “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”. These three ideas of Locke exist to this day in American political culture. Liberty is at the core of American values, some individuals quote Patrick Henry who said, “Give me liberty, or give me death” in the Revolutionary War. This famous statement of the Revolutionary War reflects that if there is no freedom (liberty) to choose or express oneself, then there is no purpose to living a life where one is not in control of their destiny. The second ideal, consent of the governed, describes how
