The quote I choose is from C.S. Lewis,”Literature adds reality, not just describe it.” is relate to the story “The Necklace”(Maupassant). Literature is not just describing a story, it adds into our reality, it helps us to think deeper on the choice we might take, and the consequences that might come for us. In the story,
(Ms. Loisel) Her vanity led her and her family to pay a terrible price, spending ten years to repay the necklace. At the end of the story, she finally realized that the necklace was a fake, worth at most 500 francs, but the ten years she and her husband lost would never return to them. Literature not only describes stories; its metaphors constantly warn us in reality, allowing us to observe from a third-person perspective the consequences that foolish decisions might bring.

I really enjoyed reading your connection between your chosen quote and the story. I also plan on writing about “The Necklace,” but I decided to use a different quote to build my claims on. I’m actually quite interested to see how you will build on this in your essay! I like your explanation and references to the story to showcase the dangers of pride, and how time is a finite concept everyone should be weary of.
I agree that literature not only describes stories. Literature has been used time and time again to invoke feelings and to connect people with each other. Literature is a tool to bring people together by sharing similar experiences and ideas. Literature provides the reader with many different emotions and meaning, such as happiness sadness loneliness and many others. Literature has evolved from time to time for example books to plays to movies to other types of media.
I agree with your understanding of how C.S. Lewis’ quote connects with “The Necklace” by Guy De Maupassant. Your examination actually features how writing rises above simple description and on second thought offers significant experiences into human way of behaving and the outcomes of our activities. In the case of “The Necklace,” Madame Loisel’s quest for vanity prompts critical repercussions, underscoring the immortal topics and admonitions inserted inside abstract works. Your clarification appropriately exhibits how writing enhances how we might interpret reality by inciting us to think about the complexities of human nature and our decisions.
