I did a collage on “The Necklace” by Guy de Maupassant. The pictures i chose really put the story together and tells the story.

The last stages of our product still required us to select the top twenty-four pictures (or less) that best represented our narrative. Next, we had to edit these pictures, adjusting their brightness, value, saturation, warmth, tint, etc. to allow our photos to better fit together as a unit. We also chose to edit pictures in a way that may show the mood of the story. We slightly increased the warmth, and value of the images to create a lighter, and happier feeling throughout the narrative. Adding music, to our product also allowed us to develop the mood.

The motif and the symbols basically balance eachother out, from what i interpret is because they both have to do with the veil. The veil gets emphasized roughly, it is such a huge piece of context in the story and it is really a matter of life or death in the story because when Hooper dies, he gets buried with the veil on still and that's what leads the story on insane as

As George contemplates the nursery, he reports to Lydia that he discovers “an old wallet of mine.” The wallet symbolizes how money, but more importantly material possessions, controls the couple and their life. Furthermore, when David McClean examines the safety of the nursery, “he bent and picked up a bloody scarf.” The scarf symbolizes the loss of warmth and security that the children lose when their parents die. Both representations go hand in hand; the value of material possessions fuel the parents’ death.

The Hair Bow: I chose the hair bow as one of my symbols of Mollie because in Chapter 5, it is stated that Clover found several ribbons that were different colors under the straw in her stall. “Without saying anything to the others, she [Clover] went to Mollie’s stall and turned over the straw with her hoof. Hidden under the straw was a pile of lump sugar and several bunches of ribbon of different colors.” I also chose the hair bow due to the fact that Molly always wore a colored ribbon in her mane. Mollie was more intrigued by the thought of ribbons and sugar cubes rather than the rebellion.

Before the start of this class, I overused common imagery such as “shine bright like a diamond” to try to convey my feelings. Writing with clichéd imagery dilutes the reader’s attachment to the story because emotions are absent. In this class, I have learned that I have to reflect on my true feelings and emotions before writing. Hopefully allows my readers to feel what I once felt. My favorite imagery that I have written in this class was the spider web in the essay about my grandfather.
