In the short story, The Necklace, a character named Methilde Loisel and her husband are invited to a reception. She uses this occassion to buy a new dress but she borrows her friend's necklace. The necklace was not made of real diamonds, but she didn't know that. On her way back home, she lost it and her and her husband went looking for the diamond necklace.

part of life. For that one night she was happy wearing new clothes and a diamond necklace and being the center of attention. Little did she know that the next ten years of her life would be miserable. That quote from the book means that you don't know what's going to happen next in life and if it's going to be good or bad.

the end looks like you were trying to fill space and it is a little confusing. also there are some spelling errors. all in all it was good up to the conclusion.
