Hannah, Deisha and my topic was about dishonestly in The Importance of Being Earnest and the different levels of it throughout the play. My part was the higher level of dishonesty; lying about your actual name. My first quote was when Algy read the inside of Jack's cigarette case and found out that Jack was his real name. I went on to talk about why Jack had lied about his real name and how he wanted free time to leave the country and have an excuse. My next concrete detail was Gweldolyn saying how she loves the name Ernest and couldn't love a man with a boring name. I said that Jack had to then continue his lie about his name so that Gweldolyn would continue to love him. My final concrete detail was Algernon saying he was Ernest to win over Cecily. I said that it shows that Algernon has to be untruthful about his real name in order to be with Cecily.
I don't think I'm going to write my topic or concluding sentences until I read your guys blogs because I need to know how to tie them together.

You should tie in how jacks real name is Ernest at the begaining to tie into my topic of the baby
ReplyDeleteI think you have appropriate examples. it is good they are spread out throughout the play. But make sure you say something about how the lies are tolerated or else it won't support the thesis. For your transition you could maybe make a comparison between your and hannahs topics.
