Dishonesty relates to epigrams in the play, The Importance of Being Earnest, because to say an epigram is contradicting to whatever you just said. By saying something is one way then saying that it is something completely different is being dishonest for it is not the truth and is the opposite. In the play they talked about something called bunburying. Bunburying is related to satire of social institutions and dishonesty because, by bunburying you are changing your name and going to a place where people don't know you then telling them fibs by saying that your name is what it isn't. They also took part in the rewards that had come along with their character. By doing that, they had lied and had been dishonest. The play had a main character who went by the name Ernest when his true name was Jack. His bunburying character was a different person than who he actually was. By bunburying he had lived his life as a lie and had deceived many people even though, in the end, his name turned out to actually be earnest in the end. Many people in the story had been dishonest in the pursuit of pleasure. The whole concept of bunburying was related to being dishonest for it used the tool of deception for the user's pursuit of their pleasure. They used their personas to get away from their normal lives and responsibilities to have fun using a different name.
My perception of Oscar Wilde's use of dishonesty in the play was to show the readers that there is no way to escape dishonesty throughout your lives. People will always be somewhat dishonest and a bigger point that I caught from this assignment was that to have a really fun time dishonesty is the key. From now on I am going to lie about everything to have fun!!I'm just kidding but seriously, Oscar Wilde is definitely trying to say something about having to have some sort of dishonesty in everything that anyone does.

Animal Farm Evaluations
1. Paden-artwork- His artwork show the irony form the story. It shows what roles the animals play in the story. You can get from it that he's trying to show how the story relates to the Russian Revolution.
2.Thomessa- artwork- I think that Thomessa was trying to show how the pigs were able to change the beliefs of the Animal Farm so much by the end of the story. From her project you don't really realize how much the pigs changed the commandments until you see it all in front of you.
3.Tim- artwork- Tim's project shows how the pigs, by the end of the story, had become so much like humans. Through a painting that showed how the pig is being brutal towards the sheep to get it to do what it wants just like a human would.
4.Hailey R.- song- Hailey's song rally shows the difficult trials that the animals were forced to go through to become free and then end up the same way maybe even worse.
5.Sidney- song- Sidney's song showed the struggles that the animals had to go through for their freedom. In many ways it was similar to Hailey's.
6. Levi- video- Levi's video talked about the struggles and morals of the Animal Farm. It talked about how the animals made the concept of animalism and what they did to ruin their beliefs. At the beginning they enforced the belief and as time went on it deteriorated.
7. Leanna- picture- Leanna's project showed the similarity between the Russian Revolution and did a good representation of how it went down.
8. Adora- poem- Adora wrote a poem that showed what had happened on Animal Farm during the rebellion from Benjamin, the donkey's point of view. I though that it was very thoughtful and was easy to tell she had put a lot of time into making it good.
9. Emma- video- Emma's video was a trailer for a bigger movie and it had quickly summarized what had happened on the Animal Farm and what they did to make all that happen. It was very good and obviously thoughtful.
10. Daniel- picture- Daniel's picture showed which characters symbolized people in the story and which people they symbolized. I thought it was a simple way to show an important part of the story.
I think that I did just as well as my classmates. Some were better because they put a lot more time into it than I did. I would consider myself to have put in enough effort to get my point across. My project showed the irony in the story and the characters in the story that related to people in real life.
