The Necklace By Guy De Maupassant
There's many reasons you should not borrow things from your friends. First of all its not yours and second of all you never know if something is going to happen just like in this case of the story. There was this young lady that was rich and beautiful but on her way she fell in love with some one poor. Well that poor but not as rich as the beautiful girl.
Once her husband got an invitation to the one of the richiest event meaning party. One her husband told her bout it she started crying and she told her that he should give the invitation to some one friend that has a beautiful wife with rich, nice, and cute dresses. Her husband asked why is she saying that, because he thought that his wife wouldv'e been happy to go and have fun. But she said she never had a beautiful evening dress. He told her to wear something cute that she had on the closet but she had seemed like she didn't agreed. Later his husband told her he was going to give her money so that way she buys a dress. She seemed s happy but at the end she didn't had no neacklace and she thought there was no point of wearing an amazing dress without an amazing neacklace. Her husdban gaved her the idea that she could've gone to one of her friend's house and borrow an neacklace, and she agreed. Her friend showed her all the neaklace she had meaning her collection. She saw all of them but none was on her head until her friend showed her the fancy once and she picked the most brilliant, expensive, and gorgeuse neacklace. One the party came every one looked at her and every guy wanted to dance with her, she was really happy and she had a good perfect time. Once they got home she found out that the neaklace was no her neack no more she started crying. Her husband went to look for it but he didn't found it.
No, money can not buy happines beacuse the young lady was used to be rich and now that her husband don't have money she feels horrable. This is the reason she is acting that was but if she was born poor and grew poor, she probably wont be crying to her husband over an expensive dress.
The conflict in the story is the jelousy she had of her friend being rich since she married some guy that worked on the education thing. But soon or later she will be used to it or if not she is going to get tired of her husband not having money and she will divorse him. Then she probably marries some rich guy and be "happy" the way she thinks "happines" is.
I really like the story it showed so much emotions and it was very descriptive and it was one of the stories I liked.

Response to literature - The Neacklace
Can Money buy happines?
Money can not buy happines because no mattter if you have a big mansion but if u don't have nothing or no one that makes you happy theres no way you can be happy. Meaning money dose not buy happines.
Why was Madame Loisel upset when her husband gave her the invitation to the party?
Madame Loisel was upset beacause she don't have a good beautiful, rich dress. So that why she thought there was no point of her going to the party- Quote "Oh, nothing. Only I don't have an evening dress therefore I can't go to that affair. Give the card to some friend at the office whose wife can dress better that I can."

What seems to be the main conflict in the story?
It seems that the main conflict in the story is that they don't have money and that they are poor. But his husband try to give her everything so that way she feels confortable. The other man conflict in the story is that they don't have money to pay the neacklace she had borrowed and lost.

Describe a person
This person that I'm going to describe means a lot to me. This person is a wonderful person a perfect person to be around with, when I'm sad this person knows how to cheer me up, he knows how to put a smile on me and I'm really thankful to have some one like him. Sometimes we spend times together, we walk around and talk about our problems, there's times that we even have a solution for the problem. There's times that we get in our bad side and have an argument but in 10 minutes we are talking again and we forget what we were fighting for.
This guy is tall well not that tall but kind off tall and he has brownish eyes, he has brownish hair and some adorable chubby checks and I really like them. I love to press his checks beacause once I press them they get red. He is really smart and he loves math and sometimes when I need help with my homework he would help me and I'm very thankful for that. He always keep me happy, no matter what. Once I was really sad because I lost my necklace and he saw that I was actually sad and he took me to the park, we sat on a bench and he was with this funny jokes that actually made me smile, no - not only smile but he made me laught. I love his humor. His humor is really wonderful and I think its a really cute thing of him.
All I can say about him are positive things because there's nothing wrong that I can say about him. He is a new world to me and he is a good perfect persron (in my point of view). He means alot to me and I would never ever would like to loose him because persons like him are hard to find, so that's why I'll take good care of him.

Chronology
Chronology is like a time line. Its tells what happen first and what happen next. For example if a baby is born and the mother desides to make a time line saying the baby was born in 1994, her first steps were in 1995, she started kindergarden in 1998. Then she graduated elementry school in 2005 and on and on. This is a great example of chronology.

People change
People change......
1. People change becuase of many different situtions they go throught.
2. People change their emotional feeling based on the past.
3. People also change physiclly.
There's many reasons why people change. In my opinion would be if they change for a good side then I'm okay with it but if that person changes for a bad side then I would be okay with it too becuase there's nothing you can.

This year is gonna be different from all the years before, meaning that I will work so hard to pass all my classes.This year I hope I achive my big goal and my big goal is to get out of ESL.
Its embarrising I been in ESL since I was in 1st grade. Its embarrising that I was born in NY and I'm in ESL. Its embarrising that some people that came from their country last 3 years and they already passed ESL, meanwhile I was born hear and I had never been out of ESL. It hurts me that I'm an ESL student while I could've had music or art for the first time in my life.
The day I pass ESL, will be the most beautiful day in my life.... but to pass ESL I have to work hard. I hope I work as hard as I can to achive my goal. I been reading books over the summer and I hope I keep reading. I think reading will help me alot . That's one of the things I'll do to pass ESL. This is my goal for this year.
