The Importance Of Being Earnest: Group essay

The three main points that i'm going to be talking about in my body paragraph are specific points in the book that show how strong relationships can make it through tough problems together. My three concrete details are 1. When Gwendolen finds out that Jack had been lying to her all along about his name being Earnest. 2. When Cecily and Gwendolen are "fighting" over who is marrying Earnest. 3. When lady Bracknell is saying that Jack and Gwendolen will never be married. The commentary that I have chosen is helping to make it obvious that only a strong relationship could make it through all the lies and confusion that the couple (Jack and Gwendolen) have had to go through. My commentary helps to show that not all people would be able to forgive someone for lying to them about what their name is, because they wouldn't know if anything else they had said was true or not. Which proves that only a truly concrete relationship could pull through a lie so large. My commentary also helps to prove the thesis because after hearing that a parent doesn't approve of someones engagement, and at the time the couple needing consent, most people would have given up and tried to find another; Yet Gwendolen and Jack keep trying and find a way to try and get Lady Bracknell to give her consent, which shows the couple overcoming more obstacles.

  2. Wow, Ariana. I really think the points that you are making will add A LOT to the essay. You are very focused on the thesis, and the concrete details all have to do with obstacles Jack and Gwendolen have overcome. Great job!


    Also, dont forget to have a strong transition sentence that leads into the paragraph on Prism and Chasuble!
