I chose the quote, “Literature is the art of discovering something extraordinary about ordinary people, and saying with ordinary words something extraordinary”. The story I chose was “The Necklace” by Guy De Maupassant. I believe this story connects with the quote I chose because the story shows how even common people can have interesting complicated lives, just like Madame Loisel. She looked like a simple woman at first, but as story went on, we see her desires and consequences they cause. In addition, the story gives a lesson about the differences between appearances, and reality, such as Madame Loisel’s attempt to seem wealthy even if she isn’t. In conclusion the story is simple worded, it is a interesting story showing us deep ideas and emotions that is shown through everyday language.
