the importance of being ernest.

Reasearching the victorin era before reading the play was definitely very helpful in increaseing my understanding of the play. Some things i came across when reading the play was that two major themes accured in the book that i also found during my reasearch of the victoria era. those being the social class structure and about marrage during the victorian time. In the play it talked much about how the upper class was way better than the lower class and that the lower class had to work all the timewhile the upper class did what they pleased. this informaion i also found during my reasearch. i found in my reasearch that the upper class rarely has to work and most of them get all their wealth from their relatives before them. while the lower class is working very hard doing physcal labor just trying to get money to pay for the food for their families. Also the lower class was not respected at all by the upper class. a part in the play showing this was on page 28 "they seem, as a class, to have absolutely no sense of moral responsibility."

The second major theme in the play was marrige. through my research of the victorian era i fund that marrige was a big part of the era. Marrige to most people during tis time was more of a business then of romance. The people who were wealthy would only marry other wealth people. also the women who were getting married didn't have much say in the matter their parents would do all of the arrangeing of the marriges. And in the play it shows a great deal of how the parents control what happens to the marriges and how marrige is not just about love. An example of this is on page 45 Lady bracknell says." I feel bound to tell you that you are not own on my list of eligible young men." this shows how the mother is making all the arrangements and is chooseing who her daughter can marry.

my new years resoulution

My new year resolution for 2010 is to not procrastinate. procrastination is a habit that i have to deal with a lot. i procrastinate on a lot of things from school work, chores or training for sports. i even procrastinated on this assignment. By fixing this habit it will hopefully improve my grades and myself all around.

My plan to stop my procrastination is to first due assignments right when i get them. i dislike having the feeling of them looming above me. Second I'm going to make a schedule so i can set certain times for things like chores, homework, and training for rock climbing and baseball. In theory this plan should help me stop my procrastinating habit.
