The importance of being earnest group project

My group is doing dishonesty. We are doing lower level, middle level, and higher levels of lying. I happen to be doing the middle level. This is when Miss Prism loses a baby and never tells anyone. It's really bad to lose a baby, but she didn't do it intentionally so the lie isn't as bad.

Topic sentence: Oscar Wilde shows using humor that a lot of the people in this era don't care so much about other people, they can be very selfish. People can be dishonest to different levels just to help help there social status.

For my first CD I used the quote from page 85, "A day that is very branded on my memory." This is said by Miss Prism. She can't forget it yet she didn't bother telling anyone, which shows her selfishness. Also, she knows what happened in detail, but not where the baby is which is the most important part. For ,y second CD I used a quote from page 86, "Uncle Jack seems strangely agitated." This is said by Cecily. He is figuring out who he really is and Cecily takes it as no big deal. Also, he was just agitated. I would have been freaking out over something like this. For my third CD I used a quote from page 86, "(calmly) It seems to be mine." This is said by Miss Prism. She is so calm when someone is figuring out who there really parents are. Also, she is calm for someone who is being caught for losing a baby and never telling anyone.

  1. I don't really think "Uncle Jack seems strangely agitated' from page 86 relates to our thesis or your dishonesty level. If you really think about it enough it might have some connection somehow, but I suggest you change it. As for the transition, I think we should do something about Jack being the baby that Miss Prism lost and how he was the main liar, or something of the sort. I really don't know what Keenan is doing since he didn't post a blog, but for that transition, I think it would be good if you included something about how little lies in society can lead up to things such as losing a baby, one who is so innocent and can't do anything with the situation.

    I hope that helps. (:

  2. I really thought every thing was all good. We could always read over our paragraphs in class too.

  3. Nice job! The only thing I can think of is this: Maybe you should include something about how Oscar Wilde uses the different levels of dishonesty to advance and complicate the plot. But maybe I'm all wrong, I could be just rambling :\
