"the necklace" describes the heroine mrs. wasser is very vain, in order to attract attention at the ball, but lost a pearl necklace borrowed from a friend. it took the family ten years to scrape together enough money to buy the necklace. they bought the same necklace and returned it to their friend, who told her that the necklace lent to her was an artifact and only worth a few hundred francs. mrs. wasser repented and hated herself for her vanity.
reading this article, i think of many people in life in order to face, in order to satisfy their own vanity, and others than to eat than to wear, but finally fell a fiasco. for example, now that the quality of life has improved, some women feel that they are not beautiful enough, so they dye their hair and have facial surgery. some even spend tens of thousands of yuan on cosmetic surgery. i have seen such a piece of news on tv: a young college student disregarded her parents advice and had a plastic surgery. the result was a failure. she not only did not become beautiful, but also ruined her original appearance. it is not difficult for us to understand that people should not be good face, should not have vanity.
"the necklace" is not only an excellent short story, but also an excellent work of literature with profound meaning. if you are interested in this novel, you should read it.

class one student no.10 name: anna wang great expectation was written by charles dickens (1812-1870), one of the most popular writers of all the time, who created some of the best-known characters in english literature. great expectation is similar to david copperfield in that it is the story of a boy growing up.
pip has lost his parents when he was fifteen years old. he was brought up by his sister and her husband--joe gargery, a blacksmith who takes pip on as an apprentice, teaches him his trade and makes friends with him. one day before christmas, when pip went to the churchyard where his parents were buried, he met an escaping convict-- abel magwitch. pip brought cakes for the hungry man, which touched abel deeply, although he was caught by police. after the christmas, pip was invited to play with estella, a beautiful girl adopted by miss havisham. miss havisham was the richest man in the village. but she was very strange. she was dressed a bridal veil all the whole life after her fiancé left her at the wedding day, taking her a large amount of property. so she lived in the revenge and hated all the men. she treated estella as a tool to take revenge on all man. when pip met estella, he loved her, so did estella. but estella knew she was just a tool to carry out the revenge plan of miss havisham, so she pretended to be proud, indifferent and look down upon pip- a relative of a poor blacksmith, which broke pip’s heart. as a consequence, pip was determined to become a real gentleman who is in possession of money, good manners, luxurious life and a great expectation for estella’s sake. under the help of a stranger who donated a lot of money to him, pip left joe and the village, and went to london to live a luxurious life to learn to how to become a real gentleman. pip started to waste money, look down upon other poor people, even including joe, his brother-in-law and best friend! gradually, pip lost himself in the whirlpool of money, although he has had a large number of debts. as the same time, estella has become more and more beautiful, graceful and brilliant. she walked in the crowd of men and married one of them as the miss havisham’s wish, which really tore pip into pieces. and, as the same time, the mysterious benefactor of pip came out. he is abel- the escaping convict whom pip has helped. when he escaped from the prison again, he earned much money and wanted to pay back pip in that way. but abel soon was caught by police and died. the properties he gave to pip
also were confiscated by police. pip fell from the heaven to hell. he couldn’t stand it. as a result, he had a serious ill.
after receiving a letter describing the bad situation of pip, joe came to london to look after pip in spite of the bad attitude pip ever towards him. after recovering, pip realized his wrong. he decided to be a gentleman by his own endeavor. so he came back to the small village and spared no efforts to make business with his friend--herbert. several years later, pip met estella again at the old house of miss havisham. after knowing her husband has died and the real reason why estella didn’t choose him before, pip made a proposal to her. at last, the two lovers were in together and pip found his real great expectation at the end.
when i finished reading the novel, i also take consideration to the question “what a real great expectation is?” in my opinion, great expectation not means money, luxurious life provided by others, even the benefactors are your parents. it is our own dreams that we want to realize by our own efforts. great expectation may be the further study, a respectable degree, a good job, a warm family or something else. but we must know that our future and great expectation must be mastered by our own. we should working for them, fighting for them, even dying for them, whatever. only when we got what we want by our own endeavor, can we say we have had a great expectation.

recently, i have finished reading great expectations, which is widely considered as the
masterpiece of dickens. the historic background of this book is victorian period which was the time when british was governed by queen victoria. the hero of the book is pip, who was living in a blacksmith family. someday, he met magwitch, who was a convict, and he helped him. to show his gratitude, magwitch gave pip a good fortune and pip led a totally different life after he got the money. however, pip lost all of his money and fame because of his enemies’ plot at the last and become ordinary people at the last.
dickens is famous for his novel such as great expectations, the tale of two cities, oliver twist and so on. he always creates some people in lower class and show their different qualities. in great expectations, he tried to show us the conflict between different classes in victorian
period by telling us the story of pip. after pip got the money, he left his friends and family to city, and then he learned to raise his social state. however, he was a child born in a blacksmith family and there’s a wide gap between him and the upper class. finally, he lost all of his great
expectations and went back to his hometown as ordinary people. fortunately, he met his lover, estella, in satis house and they left there together at the end of the story.
in the book, my favorite character is joe, pip’s brother in law. he was a blacksmith and belonged to the lower social class. however, he possessed some good qualities that made him noble. for example, though joe didn’t know any word, he thought highly of pip when pip tried to write him a letter. what’s more, pip’s sister always considered pip as the burden of their family but joe always believed that his brother can become successful. no matter how unkindly he was treated, joe was always family to others. undoubtedly, it’s joe’s noble quality that prevents pip from becoming someone snobbish.
in my opinion, the story of pip is really attractive while the writing style is also special. for example, dickens used simile and metaphor for many times in his book. when joe visited pip, dickens wrote that joe had taken his hat as a bird’s nest with egg in. i think it’s hard to show the inner world of characters as well as feeling because those things are really abstract. on the other hand, if we write it directly, that may be boring and childish. and by using simile, dickens transforms the abstract feeling into visual language, with which we can use our imagination to enjoy the story much more easily. i think that we can also make good use of dickens’s outstanding skills to improve our writing.
after reading “great expectations”, many people complained that the class difference will always result in tragedy and they think that we should try to destroy those barriers. however, i think the massage that dickens wants to deliver is that we should always be friendly,
warm-hearted and optimistic. with these qualities, we can always lead a happy and comfortable life like joe even though we don’t have much money.

accidentally, i found a collection of stories by maupassant on the bookshelf, and finished reading one of the short stories "the necklace" with a relaxed attitude of killing time.
"the necklace" is about the wife mathilde of the ministry of education staff luerse. in order to attend the party held by the minister of education, she used the 400 francs her husband was going to buy the shotgun to buy clothes, and borrowed a necklace from her girlfriend. at the party, her beauty was so outstanding that all the male guests looked at her with fascination. she felt satisfied with this as a "success". when she got home, she took off her clothes to find that the necklace was missing. the couple was shocked and had to compensate for the loss. finally, they bought an identical diamond necklace worth 36,000 francs in the jewelry store and gave it to their girlfriend. it took the couple 10 years to pay off the debt.
the climax of the story comes at the end, ten years later, when mathilde meets her girlfriend and learns that the necklace she lent her is a fake.
after reading the whole story, my first feeling is inconceivable, fate is really a trick on people, life is really unpredictable!
mathilde quietly determined to choose a full of thorns of the road of life, through the wind, through the rain, through yesterday, through today, through tomorrow. she changed, poor life temper, not only changed her appearance, more important is to change her spirit. hard work and life pulled her unrealistic fantasy from the clouds back to the solid ground, and now there was a new mathilde.
although mathilde is unfortunate, her misfortune is that she cant get what she wants and increase her annoyance in vain, at the same time, she is lucky, the cruel reality makes her sober.
after reading this novel, i feel that life is not a fantasy in the clouds, but more down-to-earth step by step.

i read this short story in the first year of junior high school. i never liked the matriarch mathilde. her good looks fell into a poor family, she thought the heaven was unfair, but i think she has a loving husband is her greatest asset. she pursues luxury, the feeling of being loved by thousands of people, the pursuit of all material comforts. i think she does not know how to cherish. she only complains to her husband and ignores his pressure and feelings. therefore, i do not have any favorable impression on her.
finally, that "priceless" necklace is lost! at this time my feelings were mixed. i thought it was retribution for her, but on the other hand, i was worried about how the poor family would compensate for the staggering amount.
of course, my opinion has changed since then. mathilde was vain and proud, but it was her nature to love beauty. ten years of debt life, the passage of time slowly smoothed her impetuous heart, she lost beautiful face, lost everything. at that time, although she was plain and did not have any luster, i thought she was very responsible. she faced bravely what she had done wrong, took responsibility to the end and tried to make up for it instead of complaining about everything. this is the responsible she, perhaps more "radiant" it!
as a short story by maupassant, the ending is of course very dramatic. although i have complained for the matriarch, but more is to thank this incident, let her understand that youth, looks are not capital. your attitude towards life and your heart are worth more than any "priceless" necklace!
