In this story The Necklace a women was born into a poor family, but she always believed herself better she always wanted more. But more is what she got, she went through 10 though years because she did not tell the truth and because of her selfish needs. I know that I am sometimes like that, wanting more wanting better, but then again who doesn’t. I guess the point would be how far to draw the line. I am happy with my life and what I have and who I have but in this story she was neither happy with her life or who she married. I am happy and enjoy my life because if I don’t I know nobody else will and my life will be miserable. I also try to always tell the truth even though I know I will lie every once in a while. In this story this women borrows a necklace from a close friend to go to a party she was invited to. When it was time for her and her husband to head home she lost this necklace. She was so scared and ashamed she didn’t tell her friend the truth. This couple put a lot on the line they had many debts and lived a hard life. They had bought a necklace that looked exactly the same but was actually A LOT more expensive than the one they had actually borrowed. I admit (shamefully) that I once lied to my doctors. I had told them that I had taken my medication correctly when I hadn’t, and because of this my labs were all wacked out and I was getting sick. They went through a lot of trouble to try and figure out what was wrong with me. They increased a medication and boy was I so sorry for not having told the truth. If I had maybe all I went through could have been avoided. Just like in this story one lie and my life was hell for a while. From this I try to not lie I learned my lesson and when I read this story it reminded me of myself.
