                                                              An Upheaval Summary

       In the story An Upheaval by Chekhov, the writer describes that Maskenka is a tutor in a rich family. The rich hostess Fedosya lost a brooch and she thinks that Maskenka stole it. The sharp Fedosya wants to 

ransack maskenka's room. In fact, Maskenka did not steal the brooch. She thinks that she did not get any respect, so she wants to leave. The man of house Nikolay apologizes to her and explains that he stolen the brooch because he doesn't want Maskenka to leave. Finally, Maskenka can't suffer the shame, so she still chooses to leave.

       In my opinion, it is a  significant story. The story satirized some nobles who only have money but are lowbrow. The writer uses the story telling people that his dissatisfaction with the nobility and he pity the people. The story was finished in the nineteenth Century. In that time, The Russia was still is a backward feudal country with serfdom, so the writer wants to describe the social phenomenon in that time. On the other hand, the writer used describe the way of dynamic to complete the article. In the story, the writer used colloquial style to describe the interesting story. Moreover, the author chose the first-person perspective to tell readers what the story says.

       From my own perspective, I like the story because it expressed an attitude which people don't compromise with wealth and everyone is equal. For example, I have seen some rich people who like Fedosya, they look down on poor people who like Mashenka. Even though the poor people don't have great wealth, they may have a good education better than some rich people. So the good education is more valuable than money, and people who have good education more should be respected. If  I were Maskenka , I also choose to leave because to be respected is very important. For another example, my friend Yang, he was looked down upon by his boss before because of his economy, then he chose to leave the company and more work hand. After some years, my friend Yang also to be a boss which owns a company.
