In a world before tablet PCs...
You were supposed to have read this this weekend. I hope you did. 'Cause you're having a test tomorrow.
Yay...
Mmm. You should know the characters. Who are the characters? Anyone?
John.
John's not appropriate. What's his name in the play?
I don't care.
Jack?
Ohh. Good, Nick. It's Jack. Audrey, do you know one?
No.
No??
Algernon?
Ya, we can call him Alge. How 'bout another one? Tony?
Huh?
Who's in the play?
I don't know.
What's the pretty girl's name?
[cricket chirps]
Alyssa.
Okay, well you should do some more reading. You should also know the settings.
Angela! Angela. Angela! Hey, Angela!
Ohh. I hope those notes are interesting.
Wait, I have a question. I have a question.
Ya?
Why is this even important?
Because its been assigned.
But when am I ever...
But now, we have Dyknow.
Alright, we are going to be discussing the Importance of Being Earnest. We have not finished reading it.
There's gonna be a slide that you're gonna submit to me where you guess the ending. Okay?
This is the plot outline. So go ahead and fill that in. And then we're gonna submit the panel.
So, what goes at the beginning? The setup. Then the rising action, the climax, the falling action, and how do you think it ends?
And I'm going to retrieve your panel.
I didn't delete anything; I want you guys to really understand this about Jack.
He is the main character. He is the main person you feel bad for. So he is 'worthless' according to society. But is he lying?
Yes.
So should you feel bad for him at all?
Yes. No. Somewhat. To a certain extent.
To a certain extent? Okay. I'm gonna take a poll. Make a decision.
67% of you said you do feel bad for Jack. The rest of you do not. So you win, two thirds. That happens in parliament too, so. Good job.
So skim that over. Questions from this will be on the test on Tuesday.
So if yo had a question on the test, 'Which one's the biographical demonstration of Oscar Wilde,' you would select...
Algernon!
Gwendolen, the very first one, who's the most important; more than any other female character in the play, Gwendolen suggests the qualities of conventional womanhood.
