Earnestly

You were in control of our Earnest chat today, looking at class, gender, random satirical witticisms, and the like. This was part of your book card discussion, so this was for participation points. To end the class, we looked at how gentlemen were defined circa 1852 and how Jack & Algernon portray that title in Wilde's world. We also looked at the categories of women in Victorian art and how this connects to our play's perception of women, their education, their usefulness, and their ability to still have a catfight over some guy named Earnest. 

We will start our full practice test tomorrow with the MC exam and will venture into the other writing parts in the upcoming days. While some of you have some valid reasons to be out of class due to school-related activities, this would not be the week to miss any class that is unavoidable.
