Recommended: Essay on development and personality

Well, my story starts the same way that everyone else's does, creation. Only the way that I was created was probably a lot different to the way that you or anyone else was. I was created in a silversmith. Parts of me were dug out of the earth melted or cut and eventually all put together, in a way that someone wanted me. Therefore, unlike you, when I was created, people knew exactly what they were getting.

I am also probably much older than you are and your parents, and maybe even your grandparents. Have you guessed what I am yet? I am a necklace.

My first owner was a nice charming young girl I was a gift for her 16th birthday. When I was first taken out of my case and put around her neck I had the most exhilarating I was hardly ever taken off unless she was sleeping or bathing. I met all of her boyfriends, I went to all of her schools, all her interviews, pretty much everywhere. She was a very happy child. Her name was Tracy Bronstein.

Tracy?s father owned Bronstein & Co. I am not sure they did or made but I know it was a big and successful company. Tracy?s mother was a film star. She was away a lot but so was Tracy so I don?t think she minded much.

Tracy lived a normal rich girl?s life. She married another rich man, she also had three children, two girls and a boy. They too all lived similar lives to her. Sadly, eventually Tracy developed a heart condition and died. I, being one of her most prized possessions, was left to her grandchild that looked after her when she was sick. She was told never to take it off. The grandchild?s name was Jane Bronstein.

Part 2- Jane

Grandma died today. I know she was sick, very sick indeed, bit it still hurts. I guess I can take comfort in the fact that she?s not in pain anymore. I don?t believe in God or anything like that as my family does. My mom, Charlotte says that she?s in a better place now. I guess she?s right. I am really going to miss her. The last thing she said to me was, ? Never take this off.?

She ten handed me the necklace. It is a very nice necklace and I am so scared to doing something to it I don?

Herbert disappeared shortly after the birth of Lou and he mother gave her to her mother, Shirley Lucille Jackson, to look after her and raise her.

With Lou’s previous marriage, she was more financially stable than the Dully family which seems to bother Rodney. “A woman should not be the bread winner in the family.” Rodney soon took up multiple jobs in order to become more financially stable to support his family better. Beside from teaching at an elementary school, he worked as a motion picture processor at Eastman Kodak, a check at Whitecliff Market, and lastly as a crossing guard for the same elementary school that he teaches at.

  • The Quinceañera

    810 Words  | 2 Pages

    A quinceañera receives a gorgeous gift from a family member on her fifteenth birthday, something that she will carry with her forever. In this cultural celebration for our family, it is very important for the father to give his daughter a special jewelry that resembles his love for her on her fifteenth birthday; the way it presents itself, how it would embody her physically, and how it would be carried throughout the years. My father took time and care in choosing the right gift for his princess. The gift that my father gave me was a necklace that touched my heart. It shines when light hits the gold carvings. It glistens in different shades of yellow when the sun comes out. This necklace started as a real gift of nature, so it has some natural variation in the size and shape. Every ornament is unique! The leaf is plated in copper, nickel, and finally gold. The process of the plating leaf into gold made the importance stronger to me, because it is very time consuming. There are two layers of metals applied to the leaf before the gold was applied. These layers help make the leaf very sturdy and long-lasting. It connects to the chain with an oval clip that has small cuts mimicking the shades and shape of a sea shell. The chain has two thin layers of gold crossing together, creating an ong...

    The Creature That Opened My Eyes Sympathy, anger, hate, and empathy, these are just a few of the emotions that came over me while getting to know and trying to understand the creature created by victor frankenstein in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. For the first time I became completely enthralled in a novel and learned to appreciate literature not only for the great stories they tell but also for the affect it could have on someones life as cliché as that might sound, if that weren’t enough it also gave me a greater appreciation and understanding of the idiom “never judge a book by its cover.” As a pimply faced, insecure, loner, and at most times self absorbed sophomore in high school I was never one to put anytime or focus when it came time

    This story is about Matilda and her husband. Matilda receives an invitation to attend to a party, but she has no jewelry to wear, so she borrows one from a rich friend. Unfortunately, Matilda loses the necklace at the party and has to buy a new one worth thirty-five thousand francs. She works for years to repay all the money she borrowed, but when she finally gets all the money, she finds out the necklace was worth “No more than five hundred francs.” This story has two unexpected twists in it: she loses the necklace and she works for years to pay it off, only to find out it is less than one sixth of what she paid. How Matilda deals with finding out the price is left to the reader’s imagination, but it shows that when Matilda loses the necklace she deals with it relatively calmly, borrowing money to buy a new one and later working for years to pay it
