In the song, it says, "Everyone deserves a chance to walk with everyone else." We can likely agree that this is true; however, is it possible? Can everyone actually "walk with everyone else"? What sacrifices do people have to make to "walk with everyone else?" Bonus: Can you tie this to the Necklace as well?

In the song the Hero it says “your masquerade I don’t wanna be a part of your parade everyone deserves a chance to walk with everyone else.” I think it means that in the world nobody is the center of the universe. Each person should treat everybody the same way. For everyone to do that they just need  to change, and make an effort.

On your blog, write a response to the following prompt:  How do you react to the story? How do you feel about the character of Mathilde? Do you feel like you can understand why she did what she did or are you disgusted by her?  Explain your reasoning using specific examples from the story.

When reading the story, I thought that it was a very good example of someone that is greedy. I feel like Mathilde was very confident at the beginning then started to break down. I don’t really understand why she did what she did because if it would be me at her place I would of just said the truth instead of suffering for ten years. She wanted more things even if she already had everything. For example she asked her friend for her most beautiful dress even if she has one, and one of her most beautiful jewelry.
