Jack age 36 was outside with a sign to sell himself to whomever could use him, he groaned he had been doing this for two hours and nobody wanted him yet. Everybody knew that getting jobs was not very easy and it would mostly depend your skill and strength. He had been one of the unlucky ones but he was determined to stop at nothing to be given a job. His back ached and his brain could only focus one that one thing. GETTING A JOB! Beside him was a shorter unknown man who also wanted a job. The two of them have been standing outside together for all this time. Time had passed it was unknown what time it was when a short man a head shorter than Jack offered the thirty six year old a job. Jack’s mouth felt too weak to speak as he had not been eating much for the past three weeks. The short master took Jack’s reaction to being a no and came to the other man who also struggled but managed to mouth the words “yes”. And the two were gone in a rapid amount of time leaving Jack all alone coughing in the cold and beating himself up for his lack of being able to move his lips that were now frozen in the cold.
This story of Mathilde amazed me, my view is of Mathilde not having much to afford who views other rich people like her friends as lucky. I can understand that popularity and looking good is very important I mean I would not want to go outside dressed like a crazy person. That is coming from me over here and I am not into fashion or shoes like many girls, no offense to any girls. I also understand her losing the necklace as I often lose things myself. Look, I am not saying it is alright to lose things I just have an understanding of how easy it is for here to forget and lose the necklace. After the loss of the necklace Mathilde did not come clean with her friend and tell her she lost the necklace. This is kind of what I would have done if I was in Mathilde’s position. The good thing about what Mathilde did was that she tries to repay her friend the diamond necklace instead of trying to get out of it and so she repaid. In the end we find out the original diamond necklace was fake and so I feel sorry for her. Mathilde had wasted ten years paying back her friend with a real diamond necklace when the one she lost was fake so all that trouble she went through would have been horrible for anybody in her position. And anybody would have felt sorry for her life hardening during all that.
HERO I believe that everybody walking with everybody else cannot always be possible as sometimes we all have to reveal ourselves in order to get jobs and to fit in we all have to make a stand but we all have our differences so nobody actually walks with everyone though we are all neutral in life. In a way you can kind of understand the feeling. Hiding in the crowd would cost you dearly instead of people stepping out and taking chances. I believe we can all be like everybody else but I think in life that everybody else would be trying to be a somebody rather than a nobody and would be trying to stand out. Walking with everybody else is not possible as eventually everybody will have their business and you will eventually be alone. Everybody has their roles in life and we all got to go for it and live with it otherwise great opportunities will be lost and the return will be quite a wait. Look, the point here is that being a big shot in life can be something you would never want to lose and it can help your life in many ways. So when he says “wanna fight with everyone else” it is possible for things to be that way but living a neutral life with nothing interesting in life can get a bit dull from my opinion so I think everybody is special in their own way and walking with everyone else is to take the next step of life. |
