Soapstone Analyzes Of a Picture Puzzle Piece
Picture Puzzle Piece by Shel Silverstein
One picture puzzle piece
Lyin’ on the sidewalk,
One picture puzzle piece
Soakin’ in the rain.
It might be a button of blue
On the coat of the woman
Who lived in a shoe.
It might be a magical bean,
Or a fold in the red
Velvet robe of a queen.
It might be the one little bite
Of the apple her stepmother
Gave to Snow White.
It might be the veil of a bride
Or a bottle with some evil genie inside.
It might be a small tuft of hair
On the big bouncy belly
Of Bobo the Bear.
It might be a bit of the cloak
Of the Witch of the West
As she melted to smoke.
It might be a shadowy trace
Of a tear that runs down an angel’s face.
Nothing has more possibilities
Than one old wet picture puzzle piece.

Character Analyzes of “The Necklace”
When you have brains and beauty, does it really mean you have it
all? According to Mathilde Loisel, from the story “The Necklace” by Guy
De Moupassant, who has beauty and brains feels she’s missing the finer
things in life after being born into a middle class family. With Mathilde
really exspensive duplicate, to find out the one she barrowed in the
wanting more out of life she goes from being incredibly selfish by
asking her husband for money they don’t have for adress to the ball.
Then she borrows a necklace from her wealthy friend where she shows
off her elegance, but ends up loosing the necklace after the ball.
Life soon humbelizes her as her and her husband take ten years
to pay off ten years of debt trying to buy a replacement necklace.
Mathilde goes through alot in this story but it takes her from being
selfish and elegant, to humble.
Selfishness is a quality Mathilde Loisel held true. From the
begining of the story we saw moments where, “she Greved in inesstantly that
she had been born for all the little niceties and luxiries of living.”
(Pg 161) This quote shows her selfiness through actually crying
over and having amazingly luxurious things. Also further in the story
she tricks her husband into having pitty for her and giving up his
money for a rifle, to her for a dress. This example shows how she
honestly didn’t care as long as she got what she wanted. Selfishness
being a a key trait to her at the begining was basically what carried this
story, if she hadn’t barrowed the necklace she wouldn’t have looked so
elegant at the ball.
Elegance shows through Mathilde as naturally as if she was a
wealthy elite. “She was one of those pretty and charming girls, born,
as if by an accident of fate, into a family of clerks.” (pg 161) Mathilde
was born basically and upper class women, just “She was the simply
didn’t have the money. Prettiest one there, fashionable, gracious,
smiling, and wild with joy.” (pg 164) This quote shows how natural
everything came to her. People in our society today also base alot of
things on materials and looks, so if this was going on back a hunderd
years ago, it must be ten times worse today.
Finally humbleness is a quality that Matihlde gained at the end of
the story. She learned about hard work when she had to fire her
maid and pay off debts. Getting rid of her maid and having to do
housework herself honestly made her look at life differently. “Mme.
Losiel appeared an old woman now. She became heavy, rough,
harsh, like one of the poor. Her hair untended, her skirt askew, her
hands red, her voice shrill, she even slopped water on her floors
and scrubbed them herself.” This qoute shows the physical
apperence of Mathilde has now become, a much much humbler
version of herself. Her new found humblness, though, shows how
being so selfish and her elegance lead her to this ugly giving self.
Mathilde Loisel was selfish, elegant, and Humble. In order for her
to have eventually become humble, was a process. Now, in everyday
life things happen that make us realize how we aquire triats and the
story “The Necklace” basically some up an example for us. Matilde’s
selfishness, elegance, and soon humbleness lead to the resolution of
finding out the necklace she worked so hard to repay her friend with a
first place was a fake. These traits basically taught Mathilde the
lesson of honesty being the best policy.
My favorite Greek god
My favorite Greek god is a goddess named Demeter. Demeter is the goddess of the earth, giving crop fertility and abundance, espasically grains. She is the daughter of Cronus and Rhea, and sister to Zeus. Demeter also has a daughter Persephone, who was kidnapped by Hades and taen to the underworld. Then Demeter was left to search the world for her daughter. Demeter was so upset the earth went dry from crops. Zeus stopped this by sending Hermes to tell Hades to send back Persepone. Hades obeyed but gave Persephone a fuit which forces her to pend a thrd of the year with him ad he rest with Demeter. During the time Demeter and Persephone are together they earth is fertile, being summer.
