During the start of the short story she was upset because her and her husband didn't have money. She wanted to live in a big castle with servants and she wanted to have the most expensive items. She was so greedy that she made her husband give her money so that she could buy a new dress for the party. She also went to her wealthy friend���������s house and asked if she could borrow a piece of her jewelry. When she arrived at the party she felt beautiful for the first time in a long time. Yet, after the party she noticed that the piece of jewelry was missing. She and her husband went on a search for it, but sadly they couldn���������t find it. So her husband bought the same necklace for more money than they had. They spent the next 10 years paying it off. She saw her fiend in the park one afternoon; she had told her everything that happened. Soon to find out that the necklace they bought wasn���������t even worth half of what her and her husband spent those dreadful years paying off. What happened in the story was ironic because she always complained how her life wasn���������t the way she wanted it to be, yet when she had the opportunity to be that way she screwed it up. She paid her consequences.

heres the second one: "The Gift of the Magi"- love this story. Each sacrifices to try and show their love for each other but the sacrifice was not needed to show the love. In fact, they sacrificed what they loved best about each other (in terms of physical traits or possessions). Only you can answer what effect it has on you. Jackson employs dramatic irony in "Charles" because the discerning reader realizes before the narrator does that Laurie's gleeful description of Charles's exploits are in actuality his own doings. The kindergarten teacher's statement at the end of the story confirms this suspicion. When the teacher states that she has no student named Charles, the logical conclusion is that Laurie made up his existence and has in fact been describing himself and his own misbehavior to his unsuspecting parents
