Tayler+;+The+Necklace

In the story, //The Necklace,// the main symbol is the actual necklace. The necklace symbolizes how her friend trusts her with borrowing it for the party she was going to. The reason she was borrowing the necklace was because she didn't own any piece of jewelry and she didn't like when people would talk bad about her for not having much as others. She was very self concience by the way she dressed and she was less fortunate than others. She was ecstatic when her friend let her borrow the necklace but she ended up misplacing it. When she found a similar one for an outrageous amount, she decided to get it and act like it was the same one when she left to return it to her friend. She ended up spending the next ten years paying back money to the people who helped her out. Finally, when she meets up with her friend a decade later, she explains the true story and finds out that the necklace that she borrowed was actually false and was cheaper than the other one. The author of this story is explaining that if you do something wrong, than you should know the truth instead of thinking of a horrible outcome.
