"the necklace" is a short story. a few strokes on the outline of a woman who was attached to the upper society, asset life, but also vividly depicted the status quo of france at that time: the upper and lower into three fault, the upper society luxurious erosion, every day to dance for fun. in order to yearn for a better upper class life, do everything possible, at all costs; the lower classes were struggling to make a living and could only live by selling their labor. and madame mathilde was the middle class, the one who pursued the upper class and ended up at the bottom.

the end of the article is laughable: madame mathilde spent 10 years paying off her debts and got a diamond necklace that was a fake. it was ridiculous that madame mathilde, after the necklace had been lost, had not the least doubt of its authenticity! and when they went to look for it, they found out that the box was from a jewelry store and the necklace wasnt, and there was no doubt!

on the other hand, madame mathilde, though not born in the upper class, did not have a particularly good life, but she also had a husband who loved her, a maid who could help with the work, and she could look at her husband affectionately after supper. if you stick to it, you may have a wonderful life. but she had never lived a down-to-earth life of her own.

looking at the full text, we find that the conclusion makes us think deeply: mathildes friend hid what kind of false truth under the appearance of wealth? that night at the sumptuous ball, glittering jewels, fighting for beauty, but who knows how much truth there, how much disguise. and what madame mathilde pursues, is not just such unreal, luxury but also on the disguise of fame and vanity? indeed, the times make a person, a false society, confused society, will give birth to such tragedy as madame mathilde.

class one student no.10 name: anna wang great expectation was written by charles dickens (1812-1870), one of the most popular writers of all the time, who created some of the best-known characters in english literature. great expectation is similar to david copperfield in that it is the story of a boy growing up.

pip has lost his parents when he was fifteen years old. he was brought up by his sister and her husband--joe gargery, a blacksmith who takes pip on as an apprentice, teaches him his trade and makes friends with him. one day before christmas, when pip went to the churchyard where his parents were buried, he met an escaping convict-- abel magwitch. pip brought cakes for the hungry man, which touched abel deeply, although he was caught by police. after the christmas, pip was invited to play with estella, a beautiful girl adopted by miss havisham. miss havisham was the richest man in the village. but she was very strange. she was dressed a bridal veil all the whole life after her fiancé left her at the wedding day, taking her a large amount of property. so she lived in the revenge and hated all the men. she treated estella as a tool to take revenge on all man. when pip met estella, he loved her, so did estella. but estella knew she was just a tool to carry out the revenge plan of miss havisham, so she pretended to be proud, indifferent and look down upon pip- a relative of a poor blacksmith, which broke pip’s heart. as a consequence, pip was determined to become a real gentleman who is in possession of money, good manners, luxurious life and a great expectation for estella’s sake. under the help of a stranger who donated a lot of money to him, pip left joe and the village, and went to london to live a luxurious life to learn to how to become a real gentleman. pip started to waste money, look down upon other poor people, even including joe, his brother-in-law and best friend! gradually, pip lost himself in the whirlpool of money, although he has had a large number of debts. as the same time, estella has become more and more beautiful, graceful and brilliant. she walked in the crowd of men and married one of them as the miss havisham’s wish, which really tore pip into pieces. and, as the same time, the mysterious benefactor of pip came out. he is abel- the escaping convict whom pip has helped. when he escaped from the prison again, he earned much money and wanted to pay back pip in that way. but abel soon was caught by police and died. the properties he gave to pip

also were confiscated by police. pip fell from the heaven to hell. he couldn’t stand it. as a result, he had a serious ill.

after receiving a letter describing the bad situation of pip, joe came to london to look after pip in spite of the bad attitude pip ever towards him. after recovering, pip realized his wrong. he decided to be a gentleman by his own endeavor. so he came back to the small village and spared no efforts to make business with his friend--herbert. several years later, pip met estella again at the old house of miss havisham. after knowing her husband has died and the real reason why estella didn’t choose him before, pip made a proposal to her. at last, the two lovers were in together and pip found his real great expectation at the end.

when i finished reading the novel, i also take consideration to the question “what a real great expectation is?” in my opinion, great expectation not means money, luxurious life provided by others, even the benefactors are your parents. it is our own dreams that we want to realize by our own efforts. great expectation may be the further study, a respectable degree, a good job, a warm family or something else. but we must know that our future and great expectation must be mastered by our own. we should working for them, fighting for them, even dying for them, whatever. only when we got what we want by our own endeavor, can we say we have had a great expectation.

recently, i have finished reading great expectations, which is widely considered as the

masterpiece of dickens. the historic background of this book is victorian period which was the time when british was governed by queen victoria. the hero of the book is pip, who was living in a blacksmith family. someday, he met magwitch, who was a convict, and he helped him. to show his gratitude, magwitch gave pip a good fortune and pip led a totally different life after he got the money. however, pip lost all of his money and fame because of his enemies’ plot at the last and become ordinary people at the last.

dickens is famous for his novel such as great expectations, the tale of two cities, oliver twist and so on. he always creates some people in lower class and show their different qualities. in great expectations, he tried to show us the conflict between different classes in victorian

period by telling us the story of pip. after pip got the money, he left his friends and family to city, and then he learned to raise his social state. however, he was a child born in a blacksmith family and there’s a wide gap between him and the upper class. finally, he lost all of his great

expectations and went back to his hometown as ordinary people. fortunately, he met his lover, estella, in satis house and they left there together at the end of the story.

in the book, my favorite character is joe, pip’s brother in law. he was a blacksmith and belonged to the lower social class. however, he possessed some good qualities that made him noble. for example, though joe didn’t know any word, he thought highly of pip when pip tried to write him a letter. what’s more, pip’s sister always considered pip as the burden of their family but joe always believed that his brother can become successful. no matter how unkindly he was treated, joe was always family to others. undoubtedly, it’s joe’s noble quality that prevents pip from becoming someone snobbish.

in my opinion, the story of pip is really attractive while the writing style is also special. for example, dickens used simile and metaphor for many times in his book. when joe visited pip, dickens wrote that joe had taken his hat as a bird’s nest with egg in. i think it’s hard to show the inner world of characters as well as feeling because those things are really abstract. on the other hand, if we write it directly, that may be boring and childish. and by using simile, dickens transforms the abstract feeling into visual language, with which we can use our imagination to enjoy the story much more easily. i think that we can also make good use of dickens’s outstanding skills to improve our writing.

after reading “great expectations”, many people complained that the class difference will always result in tragedy and they think that we should try to destroy those barriers. however, i think the massage that dickens wants to deliver is that we should always be friendly,

warm-hearted and optimistic. with these qualities, we can always lead a happy and comfortable life like joe even though we don’t have much money.
