For example of page 74, it quotes that Daisy receives ‘a string on pearls’ the day before her wedding to Tom but also on the same say she also get a letter from her former lover Gatsby, gets drunk after reading it and has a moment where she hesitates about marrying Tom but after she sobers up she ‘squeezed it up in a wet ball……And walked out of the room, the pearls around her neck and the incident was over’ as it also quotes on pages 74 and 75.

Contrast Mathilde and Della After reading “The Necklace” and “The Gift of the Magi,” consider the following: In “The Necklace” M. Loisel and Mme. Loisel are forced to live in extreme debt for ten years because of a lost necklace. In “The Gift of the Magi,” because of their extreme poverty, Della and Jim must sacrifice their most prized possessions in order to buy a present for each other. Both stories involve women who are faced with poverty, but the women confront their poverty in a different manner. Your task is to analyze this difference.
They part ways and they lead their troops in battle. When the battle gets to be too much, Cassius has his friend Pindarus kill him with the same sword that Cassius used to stab Caesar with. He then dies once he gets stabbed. When Brutus hears of Cassius’ death, he has his friend Strato hold his sword out and he runs into it and kills himself, also. I don’t think that Brutus is a tragic hero at all, because he killed himself, and I don’t think that he did it for a good cause.
Mrs. Gibbs confides in Mrs. Webb that she will be obtaining $350 dollars from selling an antique piece of furniture and that she would love to spend the money to either send Dr. Gibbs on a vacation or use it for she and her husband to travel to Paris. She has always dreamed of going to Paris but knows that if Dr. Gibbs had his way he would only want to go and see the civil war sites, as they always spend their vacations. It is made clear in this scene that men make call the decisions when it comes to money, even if it is the woman’s money. Mrs. Gibbs never gets to see Paris; she leaves the money to her son in her will. Another scene that shows how men make all the financial decisions is when George Gibbs asks for a raise in his allowance and his father is the one who must permit this, even though he originally asked his mother.
The title of this short story simply represents symbolism: a diamond necklace in this story is the primary symbolic item. The necklace is used to represent beauty in real life, however in this story it was used to represent wealth and high social status. Madame Loisel needed the necklace because she didn’t own a pair of jewels and felt it was “humiliating” to look poor around rich women. She thinks having this necklace will catch the attention of these important women. It represents her social class.
In the story a gift of the magi, one whole paragraph is dedicated to the main character- Della’s- worry about if her husband will still find her attractive, even though she cut off and sold her hair to buy him a Christmas gift. She curls it and takes the time to “reflect in the mirror, long, carefully.” After she cries and explains everything to Jim when he comes home from a rough day at work, he reply’s in a calm” I don't think there's anything in the way of a haircut or a shave or a shampoo that could make me like my girl any less.” Men really don’t care much about little things like that. It’s a gender role created by social norm for girls to be pretty and impress the opposite sex. Also in the story it shows another great example of a stereotype commonly pushed on young women. When Jim gets home she always has dinner cooking.
