Also, as the reader continues reading, the objects' backstories lead to more serious consequences to show that as life goes on, you deal with more significant life events. Throughout the essay, the paragraphs are paired in twos and share similar topics and results of the "accursed items": minor physical pain, unknowing, discovery, and life altering events. Some of the objects had an ironic backstory, such as the stapler and wedding rings. The stapler is typically used to adhere materials together, ironically, in this case, the stapler led to the woman's life falling apart and realizing that her husband was having an affair. Meanwhile, the wedding rings, which are meant to symbolize unity and commitment to a marriage, were bought last minute because the husband was apprehensive towards his future bride. The other accursed items I chose are objects that do not necessarily deal with marriage or growing up, but are every day and common to show that life is made up of the everyday minute
