voice tape
There are many wonderful stories created but the two stories I like best are “The Necklace” and “Voice Tape.” I like this two because it can happen in reality and it can move every people’s heart in some ways. Moreover, both of the stories give a moral lesson on how to handle our life positively and how we must face and overcome every problem we encounter. These two stories also give significant to our responsibilities in life and we must not just rely on other people even it is our family member.

The story of “The Necklace” happened in Mr. and Mrs. Loisel’s house, Mrs.Forester’s house, a night at the party and a shop in the Plais Royal. In this story, I think Mathilde is the one narrating the story due to the fact that the whole story revolved around her. While in the story of “Voice Tape” it happened in the house of the taxi driver and he is also the one narrating the whole story.

There are four main characters in the story of “The Necklace”. Mrs.Mathilde Loisel, the wife, she is ambitious and self-centered. Mr.Loisel, the husband, he was hardworking, faithful, kind and understanding. Mr.Rampouneau, Minister of Education, the person who invited Mr. and Mrs.Loisel in the party and last Mrs.Forester, friend of Mathilde, lend her the diamond necklace. The part of the story where the conflict happened is when Mathilde lost the necklace and Loisel tried to search for it in many places even in the police headquarters, to the newspaper to offer a reward and to the cab, but he discovered nothing. Compared to the “Voice Tape”, there are many characters in the story. Taxi driver, the person who got the clutch bag that contained three old t-shirts and tape that left by the male passenger. Mente Biglang-awa, husband of Dely, working in abroad to be of help in paying his family’s debts. Dely, a faithful, loving and caring wife and parents. Bestre, eldest and thoughtful

    In comparing these two stories, we find a significant theme involving the great complexity of the world and how we as humans are inadequate to understand it. Life at times can be unfair in its ways and can do horrible things to us for reasons which cannot be unexplained. This theme is shown in both novels by the summoning of two men, who appear to be decent in character, to their deaths because of unfair reasons. We as readers are then forced to ask the question: "Why are these good men being put to death"? The answer to this question, however, lies in a realm which we as humans cannot comprehend and therefore must conclude that this is just the way life is.…

    The first story I would like to talk about is "The Treause of Lemon Brown". This story is about a man named Lemon Brown who is homeless but has certain items in which he considers his treasure.This tells me that even when you have lost it all, you can still have that one thing you consider the most valuable thing in the world. Also, it tells me that you shouldn't judge a person until you know their story. This lesson has affected my life because it has taught me to look at less fortunate people in a different way, not to judge them immediately, and to appreciate the things you have.…
