Jaime Richards MWF 9:30 -10:45 November 28, 2000 In the stories of "A & P" and the "Necklace," the two major characters go though changes and experiences that make them mature before the story ends. Sammie from the story "A & P" changes form a sexist pig into a young man who feels that injustice had been done to three young girls. Mme. Loisel in the story "The Necklace" changed from a selfish woman who only cared about material possessions to a woman who realized how good a life she had before she cursed her self by wanting too much. In the beginning of the story "A & P," Sammie judges the three young girls who walk into his store wearing only their bathing suits by looks alone. At one point, he even question if the girls had a brain or just a buzz like a bee in a jar. He would then go on to comment about
Loisel where invited to a very prestigious ball but Mme. On day she meet with her old friend and told her what had happened. By the end of the night she had lost the necklace and instead of confessing she pretends and lies to cover up her mistake. For that reason, Sammie named her "queenie" and that the other two girls were just there followers. He then stood up for what he believed in and quit from working there. Loisel did not one to go because she did not have a new dress or an expenses piece of jewelry to wear. For example, he noticed one of the girls walked in and around the store without noticing anyone looking at her. Loisel chose to lie, she had to give up everything she owed and become lower class women. She never looked down at the floor or around to see who was starring, she continued to walk around with her head high, as she was a queen. Loisel then learned how to cherish what she had and not wish for more than what she could handle. Loisel and her husband had to move to the slums, and work ten years for hard labor to pay off the debts she owed for the replacement of the necklace. Loisel felt sorry for herself because of her family's financial position and the fact that she did not own nay expense material items.
