WARREN'S WRITING PORTFOLIO

As is said in the stories, Matholve Loisel was born into an ordinary family without much money and fame in eighteen-century France where social position is everything. So despite her appearance is perfect, she had little chance to get herself known to the upper class let alone being married to a rich man. However, she didn’t get stuck with the status quo and give up her dreams.  In the depth of her heart, she held a belief that one day she would stand out. In the daily life, she seized tightly every chance she could found. To take part in the dance hold by the ministry, she tried out every means she could possibly have. She asked her husband for money and borrowed jewel from her friend. And in the end she succeeded. Every man in the dance looked at her and talked about her.

When Matholve Loisel found she had lost the necklace, she didn’t try to escape her responsibility by buying a false one. On the contrary, she faced the reality bravely. She used ten years to pay off the debt. At the end of the story, she lost her beauty while her spirit matured. She was a hero.

I like Matholve Loisel because she set an example for us. She told us that when facing difficulties rather than bemoaning the state of the universe and pitying the fate, we can come over any difficulties as long as we held a belief in our heart.
