Sheehy English 9

Now that you’ve read “The Necklace” and discussed its irony, I’d like you to consider the main character in the story, Mathilde Loisel. While I realize she is an adult, I’d like you to pretend that she is your age (but with all the same characteristics she has in the story). Further, pretend she has now begun to attend Central High School. Please describe to me what she would be like if she were here at Central. With whom would she be friends? What would she be like in class? What would your reaction towards her be? Consider everything you can and paint a picture for me of what Madame Loisel would look like as a student in our class.
As you write, remember to reference the story. That is, if you say she’d be a loud-mouthed class clown, defend your claim with an incident or detail in the story that makes you confident you’re right. Also, don’t forget that Madame Loisel was a dynamic character – you may want to reference her change in your character sketch.

Please write your entry to be, minimum, 250 words in length.
