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.

You used really good examples from the story to back up your argument. On the last sentence you could split it into two sentences because it sounds a little bit like a run-on sentence.

You have very good points, but I think that you need to elaborate a little more. You gave many examples, but I think you need to write more on your opinion. Good job!
