Journal 1-19-2010

For our journal today we have to write about which story was man vs. himself. The short story that was man vs. himself was the movie we watched and the stroy we read which was the necklace. In that story a woman borrows a necklace she got from a friend and ends up losing it. She feels so terrible and embarrased that she lost it she went and had it replaced. She thought it was real diamonds so she went out and bought a real diamond necklace. Later she talks to the woman and tells her that she has been living a hard life since she had to buy that necklace. The woman tells her that the necklace was fake and was barely worth anything. The reason this story is man vs. himself is because she lost the necklace and has to do whatever she can to replace it. Its not man vs. nature because nature has really nothing to do with it. It also is not man vs. society.
