Guy de Maupassant was a celebrated writer who wrote over 300 short stories and six novels in only 11 years. He wrote stories that were based in realism and everyday events.<span> He was hospitalized after a suicide attempt and died at the age of 42 in an asylum in Paris. Maupassant’s mental anguish and his time as a patient likely influenced the theme of psychiatry that runs throughout many of his stories. “The Necklace” is a story about the troubled mind of Mme. Loisel and how she suffers emotionally in two very different circumstances. Her initial “trouble” is in her head but becomes her reality. Mme. Loisel is in conflict with herself. But “The Necklace” is not a story that delves much into psychiatry. The characters are all relatively normal and are more tormented by their surroundings than by their mental state.</span>

Novay_Z [31]

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

Explain why Bud says that "It's funny how ideas are, in a lot of ways they're just like seeds. Both of them start real small and then ... Woop, zoop, sloop ... Before you can say Jack Robinson they've gone and grown a lot bigger than you ever thought they could"

Answer:

Bud says this to show how a small and insignificant idea became something big inside him, becoming his biggest goal.

Explanation:

Bud explains that the idea of looking for and finding his father was insignificant, small in his subconscious and that he could go unnoticed by other more important and impacting ideas, however, over time, that idea grew and grew until he became the biggest goal of his life. To better explain it to the reader, he makes reference to how a seed so small can become such a large and imposing tree. The seed symbolizes the idea and the tree symbolizes the goal.
