The Locket Ending
the ending of the locket was a happy one, I cannot say I was surprised, and that I also believed the young soldier had been kill in battle. I did not foresee that the locket might have been stolen nor did I believe it had been lost along the way. I would have to with Edmonds belief that it had been stolen the first detail that led me to believe Edmond might be alive was judge Pilliers mention of miracles. That when I said to my self this is going to be a happy ending

the author set the stage right from the beginning of the story when she describes the locket as a good luck charm “that’s a charm some kind of hoodoo business that one of them priests gave him to keep him out of trouble” later when I found out that they found the soldier dead

    Some parts of the dialogue were a bit dry which was the boring part. What kept me interested was waiting to find out what would happen to Bartleby or if we would find out more information about him or why he is so strange. Therefore, since the ending of the story didn’t reveal any new information about Bartleby it left me very unsatisfied.…

    Lennie watched as the Frog bounded between the Lilly pads on the water, he saw the frog’s eyes dart suddenly, as it sensed its prey was near. It sank under the water and let the current pull it down stream and then suddenly it jumped out of the water like a cork comes out of a wine bottle, its eyes gleamed and its tongue darted out of its mouth and in a flash the fly was gone. “That’ll be me in a sec” mumbled Lennie hopelessly. There was a faint buzzing sound then the frog was gone as quickly as it had come. Silence once again fell on the river much to Lennie’s disappointment, he liked not having to think of the mornings happenings.…

    Edmond considered that the messmate, who didn't talk the entire time, was probably the one who stole the locket.''I thought of course I had lost it in the heat of the struggle, but it was stolen.'Edmond said nothing; but he thought of his messmate; the one who had lain far back in the shadow; the one who had said nothing." Edmond's comrade seemed to be plotting to steal the locket. Earlier, Edmond had a dream about a snake around his neck, which could have been when the unnamed soldier stole the locket and died later in the battle. "He dreamt of a serpent coiling around his throat, and when he strove to grasp it the slimy thing glided away from his…

    “If I can but reach that bridge,” thought Ichabod, “I am safe.” The church bridge was rickety looking, but was the only way to safety. Ichabod could feel the hot breath of the black steed cutting close behind him. Petrified, he convulsively kicked in the ribs of old Gunpowder and they took off like lightening towards the bridge. Ichabod had cast a look behind him to see if his followers had vanished. Just then, the goblin rider had a pumpkin with fire on top of his head as though it was his own. Ichabod raced inside the bridge, eager to get out of this awful vicinity.…

    The moment when Mme. Loisel and M. Loisel “took the case to the jeweler whose name they found inside. He consulted his records.’I didn’t sell the necklace, madame,’ he said. ‘I only supplied the case.’”(32). Mme. Loisel and her husband are both convinced the necklace is real due to the looks of the costume jewel and the case. We, after all know the necklace does not belong to the case which implies the necklace is not that expensive. The most distinct foreshadowing the necklace is inexpensive is Mme. Forestier’s reaction. As Mme. Loisel lost Mme. Forestier’s necklace, her husband tells “her you have broken the catch and are having it repaired. That will give us a little time to turn around’”(32). Just as, Mme. Loisel returned the decoy necklace to Mme. Forestier, her reaction is, “‘You should have brought it back sooner; I might have needed it.’”(33). Mme. Forestier reaction to it all, foreshadows that if the necklace was valuable, she would have been more worried and paranoid. Regardless of their mistake, they were hinted multiple times, yet they failed to think it is not real because they were outplayed by the…
