Where is the Necklace?

Guy Maupassant’s short story, “The Necklace”, Is about a women that is ambitious for attention and being envied. His husband has been invited to a grand party of his work with his wife, Mathilde. She will do everything to look amazing for that part and her friend lend her a necklace, at the party she succeeded but the necklace was lost.

His imagery texts are very strong such as:

Instead of being delighted, as her husband hoped, she threw the invitation on the table with disdain, murmuring:

“What do you want me to do with that?”

“But, my dear, I thought you would be glad. You never go out, and this is such a fine opportunity.

This appeals to the senses of sight and sound because it describes it perfectly how it reacts with the letter.

“No; there’s nothing more humiliating than to look poor among other women who are rich.” pg.2

This reveals that Mathilde is whats people attention and to be the top star of everything. That’s why she just wants expensive things and stand out among others.

I enjoy reading this short story because karma happened to Mathilde for being so anvicious. 

Finally the Sun is Here

“All Summer in a Day”, a short story by Ray Bradbury; people are leaving in Venus, there, rain never stops, the last time they saw the sun it was seven years ago. At school kids are learning about the sun, making essays and poems. Margot, a girl who has lived on Earth two years ago, shared all her memories with his classmates but they don’t believe her.
Ray Bradbury has strong imagery in his short stories, for example 

 “It had been raining for seven years; thousands upon        thousands of days compounded and filled from one end to the other with rain, with the drum and gush of water, with the sweet crystal fall of showers and the concussion of storms so heavy they were tidal waves come over the islands. A thousand forests had been crushed under the rain and grown up a thousand times to be crushed again.” pg.1

The author, here appeals to the senses of sight and sound it explains how forests crush. Also using the phrase “with the drums and gush of water” you can imagine how the rain falls and the sound when it gets to the floor. 

“Then, for the first time, she turned and looked at him. And what she was waiting for was in her eyes.
"Well, don’t wait around here !" cried the boy savagely. "You won’t see nothing!" Her lips moved.
"Nothing !" he cried. "It was all a joke, wasn’t it?" He turned to the other children. "Nothing’s happening today. Is it ?" They all blinked at him and then, understanding, laughed and shook their heads.” pg.2

This reveals that Margot, the main character, is weak. With all those terrible things his classmates do to her, and she doesn’t tell a word. But when she tries to tell something Margot stays mute and William laughs at her.

I love Bradbury because his endings are unexpected and leave you with questions and want to know more about it.
