In the play The Importance of Being Earnest dishonesty is very common, but is expressed in several kinds of literary elements, epigrams is one. Jack says "... it is a terrible thing for a man to find out suddenly that all his life he had been speaking nothing but the truth." (60). The humor in this is very clear because normally to find out you haven't been lying to everyone would be a good thing but Jack says it as if it is horrible to speak the truth. While there was several references to earnest and to Ernest. These are the same but different Ernest is the name of a character in the book but Earnest is part of the title of the play. "I mean it is naturally Ernest!" Now why make a play all about a man named Ernest only to spell it different for the title?
Wilde is trying to explain that little lies are fine because the wont change you or you loved ones like when Algernon and Jack claim to be a different person which then affects Gwendolen and Cecily. Oscar wanted the little lies to be shown as something small and little like when Algernon and Lane to Lady Bracknall about the sandwiches that's nothing not a big deal and it didn't hurt Lady Bracknall. He wanted to show that dishonesty is not always bad like it is thought out to be.

Animal Farm Project Evaluation
Emma-
Drawing
Her drawing clearly showed the resemblance the book has to the Russian revolution. Truth was written on her drawing but then smeared away which I really liked.
Daryl-
Drawing
In his drawing the words were small and blurry but it still looks like he put a lot of time into it.
Meghann-
Drawing
I liked how she used a different scene with Squealer instead of Snowball or Napoleon. She also
Olivia-
Drawing
I liked how she picked one scene to show all the irony and symbolism instead of all these separate items combined into one picture.
Maddie-
Drawing
Her drawing was different cause she used different animals like the cow and chickens instead of the pigs which was nice and refreshing.
Britta-
Poem
Her poem really showed the relationship between the pigs and other animals. My favorite part was "So good farmers of England, let's have a drink, courtesy of Manor Farm!".
Conor-
Drawing
The part of his drawing I enjoyed the most was the "x"'s on Snowball, Old Major, Trotsky, Marx because it was a different way to show hoe the characters resembled the Russian revolution.
Galen-
Comic
His comic did the book from start to end and he really showed the theme of this book through his comic.
Nic-
Picture
His was of Napoleon in human cloths drinking a beer. I think this shows a lot of the stuff Napoleon did that were the reasons they rebelled in the first place.
Aaron-
Drawing
His drawing showed the continuous circle that the characters are in which was easy to understand and was very clearly represented.
I put a lot of work into my project. After looking over many of my classmates projects I still feel good about mine but I also think that it is easier to show symbolism on a picture or drawing then in a movie trailer. I feel that my partner and I did a good job and it really show in our final project.
