TIBE Group Write

My paragraph is about the morals, thoughts, and emotions of the characters, so I focused on things the characters say or do, that may reveal dishonesty in their character. In my first point I wrote about Algernon and his thoughts about Bunburying. My second concrete detail is about some of Jack's thoughts about dishonesty not being a big deal when he's the one lying. In my third point, I talk about the word/name Earnest.



In the commentaries for the first two concrete details I talked about how these characters can be used to show Wilde's thoughts of the Victorian Era and how society was fake. This links them to our thesis. I also write about how their thoughts show that it was not bad at all to lie. In the third point about the name and word Earnest I talk about how I is a huge part in the story that Wilde uses to convey his thoughts more than any of the other pieces of dishonesty. I also put in a little about the irony of the word and the way it is used in the play.

  1. I'm trying to remember if your paragraph is the second...Well if it is then for the transition into my paragraph maybe there could be some mention of direct references to lying. I was kind of having trouble with mine...If I accidentally talked about any of your CD s tell me so I can change it.
