Our topic has many aspects to analyze. I will be looking at the Earnest lies linked to pleasure and so on. For my first detail. I am using the scene when Jack explains to Algy that he is Jack in town and Ernest in the country. My commentary will explain that the reason for this is the Pursuit of pleasure, in other words Gwendolyn. My next point is how Algy is just like Jack by pretending to be Ernest in order to win a girl while my commentary will explain Algernon's pursuits of pleasure linked to the lies behind them. And finally i will end with a quote of the titles namesake. My commentary will describe how Earnest means honest but is used as a pun because it is a name and has a meaning. This is perhaps the most important line in the play. I now know the true importance of being Ernest. Because our thesis says that we will describe how the different levels of lies affect the plot and story my commentary will describe how the big lies revolving around Ernest affect all of the characters.
For my three fold transition sentence I am going to use is "Though the lies start off small and comical they grow even bigger affecting everyone and trapping the characters into a weird place.
I like all of your commentary. Don't forget to focus on how the characters lie to enjoy life but still maintain their social status. I think your three-fold transition sentence sounds a bit too much like the thesis. I think you just need to focus more on what is in your paragraph and only slightly touch on the thesis and the previous paragraph(basically, not so general). Good job!
ReplyDeleteNice job!! remember to focus your paragraph on the pursuit of pleasure and not to completely focus on the thesis, though that is also important. But only touch up on the thesis a little because we're probably going to bring it up when we tie it all together in the conclusion. But other than that your commentary is great!!! GOOD JOB!!
